Dead Space: Extraction Rated 18, May Go Multiplatform

Dead Space: Extraction Rated 18, May Go Multiplatform on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

The British Board of Film Classification has rated EA's Wii-exclusive Dead Space prequel an 18+.

The listing comfirms that the title will ship as a mature/adult title, described as containing "strong bloody violence and strong language", fortunately with no cuts made.

There's also a heap of cutscenes/linear content, totalling up to 117m 37s - given the game is on rails it's uncertain whether it takes this aspect into account.

Thanks to GoNintendo.

We did say Wii-exclusive, however according to producer Steve Papoutsis at Comic Con last week - "Right now it's exclusively to the Nintendo Wii, but that's an interesting question."

Will you be buying Dead Space: Extraction when it comes out later this year? Do you feel it should remain exclusive to Wii?

Hm doesn't Nintendo ban Adult Only games? I assume this isn't one of those cases.

Thats a myth, untrue for decades.
In fact, in recent years, they have had less censorship then then their competitors.

Retailers in the US, however, often dont stock adult game titles.

EA + Dead Space should give it decent retail exposure methinks, should do pretty well. That said the 18-rating may just dent some of its sales, it should be 15 really.

Nintendo doesn't ban Adult Only/mature games, but it seems as if it's harder to get those mature labels onto the Wii, and especially onto the DS.

In the UK, bbfc ratings of 18 are perfectly fine. In the US however, an AO rating (adults only 18+) would be bad to get as shops refuse to sell them. A bit stupid considering M rated games (17+) are perfectly normal.

Silly people. "oh no a game for 18 year olds, burn it!! now, lets go home and play a game for 17 year olds."

Nintendo owns the market when it comes to onrails... And that probably will not change for this generation.

Rather it was a PG and you could control your character. I wouldnt buy this if it was R18 and I had to buy it from my local porn shop.

Looking forward to it, looking slightly better than Darkside chronicles.

Also Nintendo/Sony/MS all don't allow Adult Only games in america. Retailers over there don't stock them either, even though it's like an age difference of 1 year from the mature rating Smilie

I believe all three companies (Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft) disallow AO rated games on their systems.
