Two Nintendo Switch 2 games from Nintendo now carry fresh European age ratings, a sign that Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave are moving closer to release. (nintendolife.com) Nintendo Life reported Sunday, April 12, that Splatoon Raiders has been listed at PEGI 7 and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave at PEGI 12. Fire Emblem’s listing appears to have changed from a provisional rating to a final PEGI 12 entry. (nintendolife.com) Nintendo announced Splatoon Raiders on June 10, 2025 as the first Splatoon spinoff for Switch 2 and said more information would come later. The game is still listed on Nintendo’s release schedule with a 2026 window and no specific date. (nintendo.com, nintendo.com) Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave was announced in September 2025 for Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo still lists it for 2026 without a day or month. Nintendo’s United Kingdom game page already shows the title with a PEGI 12 age rating. (nintendo.com, nintendo.com) The ratings matter because Nintendo’s near-term first-party Switch 2 calendar is still thin in April. Nintendo’s schedule lists Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream for April 16, 2026, while Rhythm Heaven Groove is set for 2026 and Splatoon Raiders remains undated. (nintendo.com, nintendo.com) One Switch 2 exclusive does have a firm date now: Nintendo’s United Kingdom store page lists Yoshi and the Mysterious Book for May 21, 2026. Nintendo’s regional release schedule still groups it under spring 2026 rather than a day-specific launch. (nintendo.com, nintendo.com) Age ratings do not guarantee an immediate launch, but they usually mean a game’s content and store metadata are far enough along for regulators to review. That makes them one of the clearest public signs, short of a Nintendo announcement, that release plans are firming up. (nintendolife.com, nintendo.com) For now, the clearest read on Nintendo’s next few months is a staggered lineup: Tomodachi Life on April 16, Yoshi on May 21, Rhythm Heaven in 2026, and two newly rated Switch 2 games waiting for dates.
