Re: Random: An 'Adults Only' Island Has Been Deleted From Animal Crossing: New Horizons

@Strawblaze Providing age information and blurring images would certainly be a step forward for the Nintendo eShop, but any child who wants to see it could lie about their age and access adult content. I still think a much better idea in this situation would be to link a payment card to the user's account as proof of age. I agree with you that the Nintendo eShop, as a platform with such a huge number of games, should categorize games much better, especially those rated 18+.

@Strawblaze
I've never encountered this situation on the Nintendo eShop, with scam games for adults displayed on the first page. I know there are a lot of them, but I've never seen them recommended to me or listed in the best sellers section. And as you say, it would be nice if there were parental controls; they're not particularly necessary since no child would buy such a game on their own, without their parents' help. But your idea of ​​restricting games to a certain age is quite good. I'm curious if Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox stores already have such an option, because I've never seen it.

Regarding the deleted island in Animal Crossing, it's not like Shigeru Miamoto played Animal Crossing and decided to delete someone else's island because he didn't like it. Several people must have reported that island, and after a while, they decided to look into it and delete it. I think many more adults play Animal Crossing than children, and they're probably bothered by the island's vulgar theme, which doesn't fit what you expect from the game.

Re: Phasmophobia Brings "Genre-Defining" Co-Op Horror Madness To Switch 2 In 2026

I've been playing Phasmophobia for a long time and dreamed of it coming to Switch 2 someday. The game is a perfect fit for Switch 2, requiring a microphone to communicate with both players and ghosts. I just wonder if the game will be properly optimized. The game is being developed by a really small studio, and from what I've heard, the optimization for PS5 and Xbox Series X wasn't the best at launch.
