Switch 2 ratings spotted
Two first‑party Switch 2 ratings have been filed in Europe for Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, which suggests Nintendo’s next wave of first‑party reveals may be nearing public announcement (nintendolife.com). Nintendo Everything also posted an up‑to‑date list of which Switch 2 games will support GameShare — the feature that lets some titles be played collaboratively without everyone owning a copy (nintendoeverything.com).
Two unreleased Nintendo Switch 2 games from Nintendo now have fresh European age ratings, a step that often appears shortly before fuller release details. (nintendolife.com) Nintendo Life reported on April 12 that Splatoon Raiders now shows a PEGI 7 rating on Nintendo’s European pages, while Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave was updated from a provisional rating to PEGI 12. (nintendolife.com) Nintendo has already said Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is scheduled for 2026, and its September 12, 2025 Nintendo Direct trailer described it as a Nintendo Switch 2 release. Nintendo also announced Splatoon Raiders as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive in June 2025. (youtube.com, nintendo.com) Age ratings are the formal labels that tell stores and players what audience a game is for, and PEGI is the main ratings system used across much of Europe. A game can appear with a provisional label early, then get a final age mark closer to launch or to a new marketing push. (pegi.info, nintendolife.com) That timing matters because Nintendo’s 2026 first-party calendar is still only partly filled in public. Nintendo Life noted Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is due on April 16, 2026, while Nintendo has also recently locked in other 2026 software dates. (nintendolife.com, nintendo.com) The other part of the picture is GameShare, a Switch 2 feature that lets one compatible copy of a game be shared so other people can join even if they do not own it. Nintendo says only a Nintendo Switch 2 system can send a shared game, but both Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Nintendo Switch can receive one for local play. (nintendo.com) Nintendo also says online GameShare works through GameChat on Nintendo Switch 2, with internet access, a Nintendo Switch Online membership, and a Nintendo Account required for those online features. Nintendo adds that extra games, systems, or accessories may still be required depending on the multiplayer mode. (nintendo.com) Nintendo Everything’s updated list from April 10 shows GameShare support is spread across both Nintendo-made and third-party titles, including Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby Air Riders, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. The site also notes some original Switch games need software updates before the feature works. (nintendoeverything.com) Nintendo launched Switch 2 on June 5, 2025 at a suggested retail price of $449.99 in the United States, and Nintendo’s official pitch for the system has centered on new ways to connect players. Fresh ratings for two unreleased first-party games fit that same push: more software is moving through the pipeline, even before Nintendo says exactly when it will arrive.
