Sexy Poker denied classification in Australia

Sexy Poker, an upcoming WiiWare title from Gameloft, has been denied classification by Australia's OFLC, reports Gamespot. The beautiful part: the board declared that the game's "depictions of nudity as an incentive or reward" is prohibited by the "Guidelines for the Classification of Films and Computer Games." A bit strange, considering depictions of nudity have been an incentive in the game of "human existence" since the dawn of time. Of course, this also has a lot to do with Australia's lack of R18+ rating for games.

Fear not North America and Europe, for it appears that Sexy Poker will make it to our virtual shores through WiiWare. The Germans rated the title last month and there's also a listing on the ESRB site. According to the ESRB's content description, the game not only titillates with visuals, but with "provocative comments" like, "I'll always know what's in your hand." What, the Wiimote? Let us waggle it for you, Sexy Poker lady.
