Game Receives First R18+ "Adults Only" Classification In Australia

angry tapir writes "Australia's Classification Board today announced the first video game to receive the new R18+ classification which came into effect at the start of 2013, indicating the title is to be sold only to adults. Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, developed by Team Ninja, is published by Nintendo for the company's new Wii U console. The R18+ classification was created after a long campaign by gamers and game publishers. Previously games had a maximum rating of MA, and titles that didn't meet the criteria had to be reworked or not released in Australia."

Oh no! 18+

I've been drinking, watching porn, playing games long before I was 18. I have a Job, house, kid, pay my bills and cry myself to sleep at night like the rest of the world. Put the age to 40 and give people something to look forward to..

Where's Rockstar?

When opening this article I half expected to read about the next installment of Grand Theft Auto or some other title riddled with adult themes.

On the other hand, it's the same console developer that approved Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Or, irony is thinking that sex will happen more often after marriage.
