Asterix at the Olympic Games?!

So it seems that there is a character named Asterix that is quite popular in France. The character is being placed in a video game based around the the ancient Olympics. From the looks of the character it seems like a natural fit. I imagine that since the game is based in ancient times they didn't need to acquire an official license from the IOC. Looks like it could be fun but don't expect this to come stateside.

More from Go Nintendo:
Asterix and Obelix may not be very popular in North America, but they have quite a following in Europe. That’s why the team is getting yet another video game adaptation. They just so happen to be attending the Olympics as well, but in quite a different time period.

It has been announced that Asterix at the Olympic Games will be hitting Europe on November 9th, 2007. That includes the Wii and DS versions. From what I hear, the series is actually pretty good. Hopefully this title will continue that tradition.
