Sega announced London 2012 today, a video game that carries the official license of the Olympic Games, without any plumbers or hedgehogs involved. The game is set for a release in 2012, for obvious reasons, on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The Mario & Sonic version is due for the Wii and 3DS, so this puts a Sega Olympic offering on all three consoles.

The game lets you take part in over 30 events, and offers online leaderboards to track your gold medal progress. It's being developed by Sega Studios Australia, which promises to take advantage of the Brisbane studio's motion-capture facilities for the game. Read more »

Surprising absolutely no one, Sega announced a new addition to its ever-growing library of Olympic crossover games. Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games is coming to the Nintendo Wii and 3DS. Oddly, the announcement doesn't include a regular DS version. Release dates will be announced later this year.
