Alongside these 21 Olympic games, a new trailer was released showing off three new Dream Events, which seem a little more exciting than the traditional Olympic events.

The first Dream Event is Dream Shooting, which involves shooting targets to rack up points at a traditional Japanese manor. The second event, Dream Karate, pits players against each other in a fighting match to take the most ground from your opponents.

Finally, Dream Racing will feature hoverboards (a la Sonic Riders) and racing to the bottom of a downhill course while collecting power-ups, doing tricks, and dodging obstacles.
