03/28/2012 - Join the Fight for Video Game Rights in CaliforniaThe Following is an Important Message from the Video Game Voters Network
Representatives Joe Baca (D-CA) and Frank Wolf (R-VA) have once again - for the sixth consecutive Congress
since 2002 - introduced H.R. 4204,"The Violence in Video Games Labeling Act," a bill that
states a label would be required on any video game that is rated 'E' (Everyone) and above by the Entertainment Software Rating
Board.
Baca and Wolf's bill is misguided, unnecessary, and simply unconstitutional. In a letter
seeking co-sponsors of this bill, Rep. Baca and Rep. Wolf point to research claiming a causal link between video games and
real-life violence, even though this very same research was rejected as faulty by a majority of federal and state courts,
as well as ultimately the United States Supreme Court.
Let's fight back, and stop this political bullying of video
games. The United States Supreme Court already ruled on video games.
Tell Representative Joe Baca (D-CA) - "I oppose this unconstitutional bill and it should be withdrawn
- never to be introduced again."
The Reasons Why You Oppose This Bill:
- No Causal Link Between Video Games and Real-Life Violence - Representatives Baca and Wolf are promoting
a link between video games and real-life violence that is based on faulty research that was rejected by many federal and state
courts, as well as the United States Supreme Court.
- It
is Unconstitutional - Ten courts, including the United States Supreme Court, in nine years found that video games
are protected speech. Video games are entitled to equal constitutional treatment as music, movies, literature, and other expressive
works. For instance, the government can't force warning labels on the video game "The Godfather," while "The
Godfather" movie is unregulated.
- It
Misleads by Mislabeling - This bill mandates that a warning label be placed on all video games rated 'E' (Everyone)
and above by the Entertainment Software Rating Board. Under this bill, a game such as Just Dance 3, which is rated
Everyone 10+, would be required to have this label.
Help Stop this Bill and Write To Representative Wolf To Voice Your Opposition
Unless
you take a few minutes and send a letter now, video games will continue to be an easy political punching bag.

03/27/2012 - A Special Message From Masahiro SakuraiA
Special Message From Masahiro Sakurai
Hello Super
Smash Bros. fans,This is Masahiro Sakurai, Director and Game Designer of Kid Icarus: Uprising. I am also the Director of the Super Smash Bros. series.The character Pit, who appears in Super Smash
Bros. Brawl for Wii, was the main character in Kid Icarus 25 years ago. In bringing him to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I designed
him imagining, "if the series had continued and he had evolved with it over these long years, what kind of character
would he be?"Link from The Legend of Zelda has appropriately changed and developed alongside the series, but in Pit's
case, he needed to change in one big leap. You all know the kind of role he played in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.It was through
a very strange twist of fate that I came to create this new entry in the Kid Icarus series. I think being able to add your
touch to a title of this nature is almost unprecedented. So, of course, I have made no compromises on content.It has a fun
multiplayer mode that is brimming with variety, which it inherits from the Super Smash Bros. games. The weapons, powers, and stages combine to create different results every time. You
never know what will happen. Please try to play it with six players.On top of that, it has a robust single-player mode. The theme of this mode is challenge, and it starts with the Fiend's Cauldron. It's not the kind of game that you play through once and are done with—you
can play this mode many times, as often as you like. The story is also quite robust from a gaming perspective. I wrote the entire Japanese script myself, and it is
rich with humor and plot shifts, which have been translated overseas by the staff at Nintendo of America. If you find it funny
in your own tongue, it's because of the efforts of NOA's localization team.I hope you will enjoy Kid Icarus: Uprising.Sincerely,Masahiro
Sakurai
