Two Switch 2 ratings spotted

Nintendo’s European store pages for two unreleased Switch 2 games now show final age ratings instead of placeholders, a sign that both are moving closer to launch. (nintendolife.com) Nintendo Life reported on April 12 that Splatoon Raiders now carries a PEGI 7 rating, while Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave has been updated to PEGI 12 on Nintendo’s European webpages. PEGI, short for Pan European Game Information, is the age-rating system used across much of Europe. (nintendolife.com) The change is more notable for Splatoon Raiders because Nintendo’s official UK page still lists its release date as “TBD,” while Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is already scheduled for 2026. Nintendo’s UK store pages describe Splatoon Raiders as a Switch 2-exclusive spin-off and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave as a new series entry for the same system. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) Age ratings are usually one of the last public paperwork steps before a game gets a firm date, because publishers submit near-final content descriptions to ratings boards. That is why fans and Nintendo-focused outlets treated the PEGI update as a clue that fresh release news could be close. (mynintendonews.com) (finalweapon.net) Splatoon Raiders has been especially quiet since Nintendo announced it on June 10, 2025 as the first Splatoon spin-off. Nintendo said players would control a mechanic exploring the Spirhalite Islands alongside Deep Cut, then added that more details would come later. (nintendo.com) (splatoon.nintendo.com) Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave was revealed later, in Nintendo’s September 12, 2025 Direct, with a 2026 launch window and turn-based tactical role-playing gameplay. Nintendo’s official game pages still give no narrower date than 2026. (youtube.com) (nintendo.com) Nintendo’s 2026 lineup is still only partly dated, which makes back-end store updates like these more closely watched than usual. Nintendo Life noted that Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is due next week, leaving open questions about what fills the rest of the company’s summer and fall release calendar. (nintendolife.com) For now, the ratings do not amount to a release announcement. But they do put Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave a step past “coming later” and closer to the point where Nintendo usually starts naming dates. (mynintendonews.com) (nintendolife.com)
