ESRB Adds New 'Tween' Rating

Posted by Zonk on from the for-all-the-nascar-fans-in-the-house dept.

The Entertainment Software Rating Board announced yesterday that it was adding a new category to the entertainment software rating format. The new "E10+" "would mark games that might contain moderate amounts of cartoon, fantasy or mild violence, mild language and/or minimal suggestive themes." This puts the category between "E" and "T", and allows for racing games with violent crashes and superhero violence.

    Mario eats potentially-dangerous mushrooms, kills turtles by stomping on their heads and does incredibly stupid stunts, such as jumping over bottomless pits and sliding down flag poles. I think it's time we slap a "not suitable for anyone" rating on the game.
