MadWorld starts bloody North American reign on March 10

Forget the March 31 date mentioned in the last MadWorld update. Sega and Platinum Games will be bringing the ultra-violent game to North America three weeks earlier than that.

Forget March 31. Sega and Platinum Games will be bringing the ultra-violent MadWorld to North America three weeks earlier than that. According to Joystiq, a Sega America rep has confirmed that the game will start turning Wiis black, white, and red all over by March 10.

I expect the self-appointed guardians of America’s morality will be letting their attack dogs loose on this game soon, seeing as how it can, to paraphrase MediaWatch UK, destroy the Wii’s clean-cut image. They might choose to wait until the game actually gets certified by the ESRB, though. Yep, it still hasn’t been rated, but an M rating is expected.

• Can I see some ID please? MadWorld gets 18 rating from BBFC
• Media watchdog group wants MadWorld ban, gamers say shut up
