Regarding Playing Age-Appropriate Content

Nintendo Switch offers a variety of games for everyone of all ages to enjoy.
Some of these games depict violence or criminal activity and are not suitable for children.
We recommend that you make sure a game is appropriate for your child prior to playing.

Have you ever had an experience like this?

My child wants the game that everyone has been talking about lately.

But how do I know if the game is age-appropriate for my child?

Or...

I'm concerned that my child might be playing games that aren't age-appropriate.

What should I do in a situation like this?

Take a look at the age rating of the game in question to see whether it is suitable for your child's age.

You may also change the settings to restrict games that are not appropriate for your child's age.

A Helpful Tip

  • Before purchasing any game, we recommend looking for the age rating symbol as well as reviewing the publisher's website and viewing game trailer to learn more about the content.
  • If necessary, consider setting age restrictions to limit the type of content your child is exposed to.
  • Please do not share your parental controls password with your child.
