 Rush Rush Rally Racing for WiiWare has received a "Teen" rating from the ESRB, with "blood" and "violence" descriptors. So now we are charged with the fun task of adding that label to our websites and stuff. Yay! |

| | So.... dc indie can't be rated by esrb? |

| | I think it can be, but why would anyone want to? It would be a waste of money to request age ratings for a DC game. |

| | "Blood" and "violence"? That's rather misleading. 
Anyway, I'm glad the ESRB finally rated the game. It's about time. |

| | So... can't you just put the logo in the footer, rather then specifically under the Wii Version?
It is just really specific and I don't think it would matter that much.
P.S. love the touch up on the sides, previously the checkered flag corners didn't really look that nice, it now has a really smooth feel to it, I like! |

Actually the rating applies solely to the WiiWare version, even if every other version is exactly the same. But I will move the ratings logo elsewhere later, for better aesthetics.

| | I sure wonder how people who have never heard of R4 are going to react to these descriptors... "Huh, a retro racing game with blood and violence?! MUST HAVE!"
Just one small thought: Wouldn't it be animated violence/blood in this case?
Honestly, I doubt a 12-year-old would go steal a racing car to drive over pedestrians (and cows!) after playing Rush Rush Rally Racing. Then again, most people with an interest in retro gaming aren't younger than 13, so it shouldn't be much of a problem.
Anyway, great for you to have another rating, the actual release is drawing closer and closer!!  |

| | I'm fairly certain no game could ever inspire a sane person of any age to steal a racing car and drive over pedestrians. Unicyclists, perhaps, but not pedestrians. |

| | Yeah I was wondering the same thing.
I didn't know anyone stole their rides in R4. |

Of course they didn't. All drivers earned their cars fair and square selling babies on the internet. |

Don't you remember what it was like when you were young and games filled with gore had this fascinating aura around them which made them look good, contrary to any kind of logic? The-Mortal-Kombat-Faktor. Sold games back in the '90s and still works today! 
...Not that R4 was an extremely violent game or had to rely on the MKF to get units sold. Might be an extra boost though. 
Also, RedSpotGames implied the euro launch would take place in July, is there a fixed date yet? Or does Ninti leave its developers completely in the dark 'till launch day?  |
