But that's insane! It's not like those games have Mario getting a nosebleed from seeing Princess Peach, Inklings picking their noses, or Pikachu dealing with a heroine addiction.

I know, it's ridiculous.

We didn't even have an 18+ rating for games here until 2011; before that, games rated over MA15+ just got banned, or had to be censored to tone down gore or remove references to drugs. Games like Saints Row IV, Witcher 2, South Park Stick of Truth, Silent Hill Homecoming all had to be edited for release in Australia. One particularly laughable example was State of Decay, which was only allowed to be released if all references to drugs were changed to call them "vitamins".

And I thought Zero Punctuation was the worst thing about Australia. XD
