Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge becomes first R18+ rated title in Australia

The OFLC revamped its classification system at the start of new year, and created an R18+ rating. Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, a Nintendo-published game, is the first title to fall under the category.

Because Razor’s Edge is rated R18+, only adults can purchase the title. These titles “will have a high impact and it is for this reason that these games are not suitable for under 18s”, according to Classification Board director Lesley O’Brien.

O’Brien noted of Razor’s Edge’s rating:

“Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge contains violence that is high in impact because of its frequency, high definition graphics and emphasis on bloody effects.”
