Based on the wording of the presentation, the data seems to be from Nintendo Online. (See page 7)
Reject at will then the intended audience that Nintendo puts in their game cover in the lower left corner:
So, games marked 'T for Teen' are only for 13-19 year olds, then?Reject at will then the intended audience that Nintendo puts in their game cover in the lower left corner:
At minimum for teens. Games have only minimum age "required".
Except I know what data the picture is using. It's not a survey.
I also think there are kids who put their age as 20. But if some of the answers are coming from kids, then it clearly isn't adult only.
Precisely. An 'Everyone' label simply says 'this contains no content that is age restricted under ESRB guidelines'. It says nothing about intended demographics. If the ESRB was forced to label food, they'd put an 'E' on a jar of baby food, doesn't mean it's intended for adults.
Because such thing doesn't exist for games. They can be just not recommended for certain younger ages for obvious reasons. There is no maximum age.
I am confused by this. Does it mean it is not coming at all, or not coming in November?
November 14th release date.
based on the leaks, the latter
Then we agree: An ESRB rating does not indicate who a game is actually intended for, no such rating exists. It's a question to be answer more broadly. I tend to look back a little and ask what's changed. What we used to called children's content is now consumed in vast quantities by people in their thirties and forties. Proportionally, the space that used to be considered movies for adults has been repurposed for wider audiences and the scope for true 'adult' movies (that would bore kids) has shrunk immensely.
It just came out, brah. There weren't a lot of Switch announcements in Summer 2017, either. But 8 years later there's like thousands of games, brah. People have funny memories.
Interesting. I never assumed that is was coming at all in 2025. I assumed MS would have some older titles ready for NS2. I always thought we would get Halo trilogy or Infinite this year. With COD next year.
That's the world we live in. Theres some content only adults like, some content only children like and some content both like.
Yep, Nintendo need advice on how to make the Switch a success
The path I described seems to be exactly how the Switch became a success. I'm saying don't change strategy for Switch 2.Yep, Nintendo need advice on how to make the Switch a success
I agree with you that Nintendo games (and their most recent movie) are by and large designed to be enjoyed by kids. I actually think they are even more kid obsessed now than they were 20-30 years ago.
I wouldn't say the bolded part is true, the data Nintendo shared with investors had the GBA being far more kid-oriented than the DS or Switch were.
That's disappointing.
I think people said the game is horribly optimized in general. Runs really bad on Steam Deck also.
There's a level of environment destruction of the game that could possibly tax the CPU on the Switch 2, some users have reported that they were trying for visual parity compared to the PS5, but the resolution and graphical details are inferior in the SW2 version, and that 30fps in fighting mode, damn.
