ESRB rates new DS, Wii games

The Entertainment Software Rating Board has updated its Web site with another batch of games, and as is often the case, not all of them have been announced. The latest update to the ESRB ratings database includes word of several games for the Nintendo DS and the Wii.

Destination Software has received an E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older rating for Balls of Fury on both Nintendo platforms. The game is likely an adaptation of the upcoming film of the same name. Set for theatrical release this fall, Balls of Fury stars Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter, Click) and Dan Fogler (Good Luck Chuck) in a life-and-death ping pong tournament run by the criminal underworld.

A trio of possible Virtual Console releases were also recently rated, with Super Turrican and Super Turrican 2 receiving the same E10+ rating as Balls of Fury, and Nintendo's "Dr. Mario Wii" being tagged with an E for Everyone.
