[Demon_Skeith]

NHK reported on Monday that Tokyo government officials have stated that the Tokyo Olympics will open on July 23, 2021, followed by the Paralympic Games on August 24. According to the officials, the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Tokyo Games organizing committee, and Tokyo Metropolitan and Japanese governments agreed to the schedule.

The Tokyo Olympics were originally scheduled for July 24 to August 9, 2020, followed by the Paralympics from August 25 to September 6.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced last Tuesday that Japan had reached an agreement with IOC chief Thomas Bach to delay the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. USA Today reported last Monday that IOC member Dick Pound told the newspaper that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics are postponed.

Hopefully, many infected coronavirus people won't illegally enter Japan by boat or airplane , and get Tokyo infected during 2020 to 2021, so the Olympics can begin in 2021.

Hopefully things are better, I can only imagine how badly of a hit Japan is taking from the delay.

This means Mario and Sonic at the 2020 Olympic Games will now be a somewhat important piece of history like 20 years from now. And if they decide to do a reprint and change 2020 to 2021 on the box, the 2020 edition will become valuable.

Hopefully we don't have another Coronavirus surge before then, though. I saw on Twitter yesterday that China is having a second wave of it, while most places are still in their first.
