Switch 2 gets fresh ratings

Nintendo’s European game pages now show fresh age ratings for two unreleased Switch 2 exclusives: Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave and Splatoon Raiders. (nintendolife.com) Nintendo’s French page for Splatoon Raiders lists a PEGI 7 rating, while the game’s United Kingdom page still shows its release date as “to be determined.” The official Nintendo news post that announced the game on June 10, 2025 called it the first Splatoon spin-off and said more information would come later. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) (nintendo.com 3) Nintendo’s European pages for Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave list the game for 2026, and multiple outlets reported this week that its rating moved from a provisional listing to PEGI 12. Nintendo first announced the game in September 2025 as a new mainline Fire Emblem for Switch 2. (nintendo.com) (thegamer.com) (nintendo.com) PEGI, short for Pan European Game Information, is Europe’s age-rating system for games. A public rating usually means a publisher has submitted enough material for classification, even if it does not lock in a release date. (pegi.info) (finalweapon.net) That is why fans track these page changes so closely. Both games were announced months ago, both are still slated for Switch 2, and neither has a firm launch date on Nintendo’s public pages. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) The timing also fills in a quiet stretch after Nintendo’s recent Switch 2 presentations. Nintendo’s February 5, 2026 Partner Showcase highlighted third-party and returning games, but these two first-party titles have gone largely untouched in official updates since their reveals. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) (nintendo.com 3) Outside observers are reading the filings as a sign Nintendo may resume updates one game at a time instead of saving everything for a single showcase. That view is based on the ratings appearing on regional Nintendo pages before any new trailer, date, or preorder announcement. (gamingdeputy.com) (gonintendo.com) Nintendo has not announced a new Direct tied to either game as of Sunday, April 12, 2026. For now, the clearest public change is the ratings themselves — small updates that usually show up before the bigger marketing push. (nintendolife.com) (thegamer.com)
