While Nintendo is not likely to follow up its Balance Board with the "Posture Pole," or Wii Fit with "Wii Strip," there's certainly a market for Peekaboo's proposal: a way for mommy and daddy to stay connected after the kiddies are tucked in; or the after-party for Wii Sports Bowling Night at the Senior Center. Though with STDs on the rise throughout the retirement community, Wii Strip may be one gimmick Nintendo is prepared to shy away from (let's not further encourage our performance enhancing drug-addicted elders, amirite?). One thing's for sure: Nintendo draws the line when it comes to the corruption of the old people.

This is fucking pathetic! Next thing you know youll have commenters preemptively accusing Nintendo fans of defending a product that obviously will never happen and trying to find excuses why its ok to post flamebate like this.

"Of course we will get married just do this little thing for me"
And don't forget the magic words.
"But I love you so much"
If she's not passed out, that is....

Be sure to tape it all and upload it to the internet for great justice.

Sorry spies sappin' mah..BBZZZrrrr...
Would this generate a lot of complaints? Sure. Should it? Of course not, unless you hold the view that all video games are for children.
Carmen Electra's stripping DVDs are extremely popular, and for good reason. Stripping and pole dancing are the new "pilates." It's a good aerobic and cardiovascular work-out, and women enjoy doing it.
More to the point, it's Neo-Burlesque, which has become more mainstream in recent years and less "dark dingy strip club filled with old perverts." It's a valid form of performance art, as evidenced by the recent "Erotic Star" series in Australia. The winning performance was absolutely spectacular and not the slightest bit exploitive. It's amazing to watch the talent on display, and the women in the crowd enjoy the performances as much (if not more) than the men.
It's all a moot point, really, as the game would obviously require an AO rating, which Nintendo will never support. But it's a disappointment that the cleaner, healthier forms of erotic entertainment are being forced down, leaving people to dive into the cesspool of filth that is the internet.

Though I highly doubt this is meant for the more acrobatic form of pole dancing, since that form of dancing relied on high quality poles and isn't for beginners.

In all seriousness it could be fun.

Yet great games like Odin Sphere, Okami and Psychonauts get completely ignored for garbage like this.

This is no different from any other number of casual or "mainstream" titles like Singstar, Brain Age or Nintendogs. The type of people (generally speaking) who would buy those games would NEVER have bought Okami or Pyschonauts.
Those games (and more, like Beyond Good and Evil) suffered from poor marketing. Simple as that.
I understand your point (i.e. that it's sad that games like The Guy Game can outsell treasures like Ico), and whilst I agree, there's no cannibalising of sales going on. They're entirely different markets, and they always will be.
