Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games

This seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle of all the other Nintendo Direct news, but new videos from the Japanese Direct confirm several new playable characters joining the festivities alongside Diddy and Nabbit including Dry Bones! Rosalina! & the Koopalings!

There's also what looks like a support team of Toads in Rugby, not sure if playable.

There are also a few new Sonic friends visible, namely Wave and Sticks.

Wave can be seen in this one:

Rio does what Tennis can't? ;D
 
So I used The auto-translate for the subtitles in the video, and The translation is terrible, I got the basic idea.
First they talked about how next year the Olympics are going to be held in Rio, then they talked about the various events and such. The 3DS exclusive mode uses the pedometer on the 3DS to have some kind of Marathon thing. (Man, I really need to learn Japanese.)

Whoa... that roster expansion...

Why am I ever-so-slightly interested now...? It makes no sense.
Same here. That's a really big expansion of characters, and hopefully they don't have certain characters for each system. That would be stupid, but maybe Nintendo might do that. :/ Also, I'm hoping they didn't cut anyone from previous games.
SEGA's developing the game, not Nintendo.
I doubt they'd cut anyone.

Really? Did Sega do the others? If so I didn't realize that. XD
That would be amazing! :)
 
GUYS I THINK WE MAY GET TOAD, CHARMY AND ESPIO PLAYABLE IN THIS GAME!

-Toad- In the trailers, you only see colored toads in the cameras and in football teams. The only "normal toad" is a referee AND has an orange jacket. (This happened with Ultra Smash (except the toad had a black jacket) and Toad is playable in that game)
-Charmy and Espio- They used to be refrees, for example, in the Long Jump they were the ones that calculated your distance BUT in the newest trailer, when Waluigi is doing Long Jump, they have been replaced by Orbot and Cubot! COINCIDENCE? I DON'T THINK SO

Tell me what you think about this "discovery" :p
