WiiWare strip poker game banned in Australia

Sexy Poker (mobile version) - Image 1Recently, when we hear "banned in Australia" the first thing that comes to mind is violence. The second game to be refused qualification in the region this year, however (Necrovision was the first), wasn't banned because of blood and guts but because of some good old-fashioned nudity.

The game is Gameloft's WiiWare title Sexy Poker. As you can probably gather from the title alone, this is a strip poker game. Players get to play poker against six different female opponents wearing stereotypically fetishistic costumes like a police uniform and a nurse's outfit.

Whoa, wait up. A strip poker game for the Wii?!? The mind, it boggles.

Anyway, what sparked the OFLC's ire was that the game offers "offers depictions of nudity as an incentive or reward to interactive game play ... as the player is shown increasingly detailed amounts of nudity following successful game-play". Yeah, well, what did they expect? That's what strip poker's all about, isn't it?

Anyone remember the strip poker game for the NES? It was the first game with frontal nudity I ever played.



Good times, good times.

» Wow...

people are so stupid, they get pissed at something like this, but allow little kids to annoy/game with adults, that in my opinion is far far more dangerous than a little kid looking at some tits. pedos roam free on the internet and little kids play adult games anyway, play COD or GOW lately? nothing but little kids 30-40% of the time. pretty gay. I'd have more fun with this game than playing hearing those annoying squeaky voices

Silver Tiger, you're a d.o.u.c.h.e, I actually followed that link, and I found some crap on YouPube (spelled intentionally) that obviously belongs to you. I gladly smear my own poop onto your face for that!
