From JeuxFrance.com, here is the Google translation:
The Pole Dance hall on Wii?
If the securities of the coast have music at the moment, it is not really the case of dance games that do shine too little lately. Do not even talk Boogie… Yet, it turns out that the group wants to leave Peekaboo, exclusively on Wii, a title simulating the Pole Dancing, these dances rather directed striptease and they déhanche on an iron bar. Or ... It is expected that new.

Looks like Next-Gen has picked up the story, too.
Hey girls! Have fun and learn a valuable profession that will help you pay for college at the same time!

Peekaboo Pole Dancing, a company who specializes in unique pole dancing fitness products and similar items, has sent out a call for help from game developers interested in joining up for their latest concept—a pole dancing fitness game for the Nintendo Wii.
With Wii Fit soon to make its US debut, it’s not strange that ideas are circulating about videogames and fitness. The peripheral and health inspired game has been making waves in Japan, so why not think up some other innovative ways to incorporate exercise and the Wii technology? That seems to be the mindset of Peekaboo, a company who is shopping around for help in making a new fitness game for the Wii—only this one involves pole dancing.
That’s right, according to Tech Digest, Peekaboo Pole Dancing, the world’s top seller of celebrity endorsed “pole dancing as fitness” items is looking for a partner. A games development partner that is, and one who will help them with their concept for a new Wii title involving their specialty: pole dancing.
While not much information was given, Peekaboo has reportedly sent out an email announcement about their concept, saying that the game will get you to “shake your booty” and “spin your thing.”
As, uh, entertaining at it sounds, you have to admit that the concept doesn’t seem to mesh very well with Nintendo’s usually family oriented vision. Will Nintendo bend the rules to allow pole dancing to get a leg-up in the videogaming fitness world? Or maybe Peekaboo will strip away the usual stigma associated with poledancing?
Let’s hope the concept stays afloat at least for a little while longer, if only for the abundant puns available. Just think of the motion control possibilities.

Wow, this would be cool if the average age of female wii game players... wasn't 8-10.
This will end up sitting next to Hannah Montana Jam.
