New Mario & Sonic London 2012 Website and Pictures

In about 11 months (from this point in time), we will all be treated to another round of halfway pointless international competition when the 2012 Summer Olympics in London start up. For those who want something a bit more meaningful and/or considerably less realistic, we have less than 2 months to wait.

I'm talking, of course, about Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

For those that don't know, this game is the third installment of the Mario & Sonic Olympics crossover that have sold very well since it was conceived in 2007. Now with the lessons learned from previous efforts, Nintendo and Sega have pulled out all of the stops for the latest entry: with over 50 events, a number of which could only happen in the worlds where Mario or Sonic reside, one is bound to find something to keep their attention. In addition, there's something called London Party mode, which is similar to the Mario Party series of games and adds more depth to the experience.

Anyway, the game's website has been recently revamped, which includes new game images of some of the events, including beach volleyball, soccer/futbol, target shooting, uneven bars gymnastics, and synchronized swimming (no, seriously).

For those that wish to see what I'm talking about, the official website is listed below:
