Parental Controls

 

 

Nintendo strives to create an environment that is fun and enjoyable for all users and has designed tools

 

 

to allow parents or guardians to limit the games and applications that may be inappropriate for some

 

 

members of their household. There is one Parental Control setting per system, so it is recommended that

 

 

you put the settings on the most secure that you need for your family; you can then share the PIN with

 

 

users who may be allowed access to blocked content and features.

Video and Computer Game Software Rating Information

 

 

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide information about video

 

 

and computer game content, so you can make informed purchasing decisions. ESRB ratings have two parts:

 

 

rating symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game, and content descriptors indicate elements in a

 

 

game that may have triggered a particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern.

 

 

To take full advantage of the ESRB rating system, it’s important to check both the rating symbol

 

 

(found on the front of the game box) and the content descriptor (found on the back of the game box).

 

 

Go to www.esrb.org for a complete list of these content descriptors.

 

 

The ESRB rating system is designed to provide information about a computer or video game. The ratings

 

 

are not meant to recommend which games consumers should buy or rent or to serve as the only basis for

 

 

choosing a product. Rather, individuals should use the ESRB ratings together with personal tastes and

 

 

standards when deciding what is best to purchase.

 

 

For more information on the ESRB and video game ratings, go to the ESRB web site at www.esrb.org.
