The new Mortal Kombat has already been refused classification in the land down under. This means that the game is already effectively banned throughout all of Australia.
It's sad, but is anybody really surprised that the game was banned in that region?
And in case you missed it, here is the trailer for Noob Saibot showing off some of his killer combos.

The highly anticipated video game Mortal Kombat, published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (WBIE) in Australia, has been refused classification by the Australian Classification Board and will not release in Australia. We are extremely disappointed that Mortal Kombat, one of the world's oldest and most successful video games franchises, will not be available to mature Australian gamers.
WBIE would not market mature content where it is not appropriate for the audience. We understand that not all content is for every audience, but there is an audience for mature gaming content and it would make more sense to have the R18+ classification in Australia. As a member of the iGEA, WBIE is reviewing all options available at this time.
