'Carnival Games: Wild West' called out by Australian ratings board

Did they even have carnivals in the Old West days? We thought people's time was all taken up by gunfights and being thrown through bar windows back then. 2K and Cat Daddy Games are indulging in either a bit of historical revisionism or actual history (again, we're fuzzy on the details of the time period), with Carnival Games: Wild West, an upcoming game spotted on Australia's ratings board.

The game is listed as "multi platform," which is the board's generic term (and doesn't necessarily mean the game is actually multiplatform.) At the moment, then, we don't know whether you'll be controlling the old-timey minigames with Kinect, Move, or the good old-fashioned Wiimote.

Oh, hey, horseshoes! That's something that people might have played back then, maybe. People had horses, anyway.

The headline is misleading. It almost indicates that AUS has a problem with the game's rating and was being censored or something.

@ShingoEX....Indeed, I thought the same thing. I was hoping Australia was calling it out for being a crappy game.

This also addresses the post above you guys, Carnival games actually added a mini-game where you do ridiculous embarassing erotic things with another person. (Five points if you remember what game I'm talking about)
Because nothing says a romantic sexy time like slapping your significant other with a controller that looks like a white Frankenstien dildo... While playing horseshoe.

Of course its on the Wii. The cost-to-benefit ratio for developing this game on the Kinect is much too low! I mean god, they'd have to pay a kid another 10-15 bucks just to come up with achievements if they released it outside of the Wii.
