Nintendo confirmed that a number of titles announced for Japan yesterday are coming to North America. In addition, the much anticipated follow-up to Bravely Default, Bravely Second, will arrive next year.
Here's a quick rundown of the announcements and links to our coverage from yesterday.
Chibi Robo: Zip-Lash, a side-scrolling action game and the Chibi Robo Amiibo are coming to North America in October.
Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure adds a new "cure-all" feature. It arrives on June 11 in North America for 3DS.

Bandai Namco's Project Treasure will be coming to North America.
Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games will be out on Wii U and 3DS in August 2016.
Our Take
With E3 just two weeks away, this kind of information drop seems surprising. Perhaps this is just to get the little stuff out of the way before dropping the big bombs during the Nintendo Direct on Tuesday, June 16.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk.
