Lookies! It's news of a day old, but I found it when I clikced one of my old bookmarks:

http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=8612

"By using a password-controlled setting, adults can decide what flexibility they'll allow younger players to have in playing video games rated E (Everyone), E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older), T (Teen) or M (Mature). The system also ensures that dedicated adult gamers can opt to play without limitations.

How does it work? The actual game software will contain a code indicating the rating, which will activate the control system to remain locked or unlocked. The feature will be included in every Revolution console worldwide."

Gotta admire the courage to do this. :)

Fear not, youngsters! For the hacking community will find a way to unlock Nintendo's tight-gripped security.

God, Nintendo! Just mind your own business! That's a way to lose customers if I ever knew one.

You realize that's a password-protected page, right?

One of these days Nintendo is going to drop that guest account.

No, this was on an open page. I saw that I could log in, but there were also links to articles.... I don't even remember the login name or password.
