Pole dancing might not seem like the most likely title for a Wii console game but it could be on the way.

Peekaboo Pole Dancing, the company behind the Carmen Electra home pole dancing kit, Electra Pole Professional Pole Kit, has confirmed that it is in talks with a developer to create a pole dancing game for Nintendo’s squeaky clean Wii platform. However, the company has said that Carmen [pictured] herself will not be involved.

Right now, thousands across the UK are just starting to build up a sweat with Wii Fit, which launched last week, so home pole dancing might be a bit a of stretch.

In a statement., the company said:

“In response to recent speculation, we are pleased to confirm that Peekaboo is in talks to develop a game for the Nintendo Wii that meets mainstream demand for the fun and fitness benefits of pole dancing."

"With pole dancing classes springing up in gyms and health clubs across Europe and the USA, the number of women seeking the body-sculpting and fat-burning effects of this aerobic form of exercise has never been greater.

Peekaboo and its partners are focussed on using Wii-friendly hardware to make aerobic pole dancing instantly accessible just as Guitar Hero did for rock’n’roll.”

Really? Considering how important being ‘family-friendly’ is to Nintendo, I’m not convinced that this Wii game will wiggle its way on stage.-Martin Lynch
