Sexy Poker Drops Nudity; Gets Mature Rating

Wii game, Sexy Poker continues to feed a storm but this time it’s more of a drizzle than a twister. The game was previously banned by Australia’s Office of Film and Literature Classification as it believed it contravened guidelines which prohibit the “depiction of nudity as an incentive”.

Now, there is no more nudity in the game, only lingerie, and the game has squeaked its way through the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) with an “M” for mature. The official content rating entry describes Sexy Poker as a strip poker game where the objective is to win hands in order to remove articles of clothing from still images of the female characters.

The summary states, “Nurses, police women, office workers, and sports figures can eventually be stripped down to show their lingerie. The female opponents encourage the player with provocative comments such as, ‘Perhaps you could be my business partner … for tonight at least?’ and, ‘If you impress me, I might give you my special treatment’.”

Meanwhile elsewhere, family video game developer, Left Field Productions, has announced the release of Battle Poker for digital download on WiiWare.

This card game can be played with up to four players via a Wii Remote but players must be quick to the mark as they race against each other to create the best five-card hand possible from a shared deck of cards on the screen.

ESRB has rated Battle Poker as “E” for everyone.
