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.

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.
