At the moment, children can access a range of MA15+ games that are regarded as inappropriate for children, while adult gamers are prevented from access to many games available in other countries.

By abolishing the MA15+ classification, we will create a clear distinction between games that may be suitable for children and those that are suitable only for adults.

TOKYO (April 21, 2011) - SEGA® Corporation and Nintendo Co., Ltd. today announced that the record breaking partnership of Mario™ and Sonic™ will once again join forces on the Wii™ home video game system and, for the first time ever, on the Nintendo 3DS™ . Over 19 million people worldwide have bought video games from the Mario and Sonic series, and now the much loved duo are heading to London to participate in the officially licensed Olympic-themed video game, Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games™.

A host of exciting new headline events, including soccer and equestrian will debut on the Wii version appearing alongside classic Olympic disciplines, such as athletics, aquatics and table tennis. These new sports are sure to ignite even more fierce competition between friends and family in both single and multiplayer modes! The all new roster of Dream events that are set in popular Mario and Sonic worlds make for a truly unique sporting experience that can only be found in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Arriving on Nintendo's new handheld system for the first time ever Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games contains over 50 original Olympic themed events playable in both single and multiplayer modes. Bringing a whole new dimension to the Mario & Sonic universe, the glasses-free 3D visuals and the unique control systems mean there are plenty of new and exciting ways to compete for a coveted gold medal!

As with its predecessors, Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for the Wii and Nintendo 3DS is being developed by SEGA Japan and is published by SEGA across Europe and North America, and by Nintendo in the Japanese market. Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games is licensed through a worldwide partnership with International Sports Multimedia (ISM), the exclusive interactive entertainment software licensee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

"Mario and Sonic have had a phenomenally successful partnership and we are extremely proud to be able to recreate this once again with Nintendo and ISM for the London 2012 Olympic Games," commented Naoya Tsurumi, Chairman for SEGA of America and SEGA Europe. "It is truly exciting to be in the position to develop interactive entertainment software titles based on the Olympic Games, and for Sonic and Mario to once again be a part of this historic event."

"The London 2012 Olympic Games will be a sporting showcase that will embrace the world and we are delighted to have Mario and Sonic competing once again, this time in the largest number of Olympic sports ever," says Raymond Goldsmith, Chairman & CEO of ISM.

"These games bring together two of the most beloved characters in the history of the video game industry in Mario and Sonic," said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "As veterans of both video games and Olympic games, they will arrive in London as a formidable team to provide fun, competitive sporting activities that friends and family members can enjoy together."

Plus we got the Mash Tactics crew who will be livestreaming the entire event right from the park.

We'll be giving away some freebies during the meetup and this will be your chance to win a code for the super limited edition M. Bison Level 7 figurine (Stats: Attack 140, Defense 114, Super Bar 3, Ultra Bar 0)! We also have some limited edition Super Street Fighter IV swag and some Mr. Destructoid bobbleheads. Expect some "special" Street Fighter IV-themed pizza and drinks to be provided too.

Don't forget to charge up your 3DS beforehand, bring a beach towel/something to sit on at the park and a jacket to keep yourself warm! Just in case it rains, our backup meeting spot will be at the sixth floor dome of the Westfield Mall downtown San Francisco.

Watch this space and follow @Capcom_Unity or myself on Twitter for any last minute changes. Be sure to let us know if you'll be coming by RSVPing on our Facebook event page too!
