Why were poor Official Nintendo Magazine subscribers made to suffer a delay in getting their latest issue? Blame Mario, Sonic and the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

The UK publication put a hold on its latest issue to give everyone else plenty of breathing room to announce Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games three times over, which as you probably have heard elsewhere, is coming to the Nintendo DS and Wii. Glad we exercised caution!
