It may be a good enough simple test, especially for huge titles like Roblox, but I’ve worked with game developers whose titles would have been allowed by Nintendo but who decided it wasn’t worth the investment to create a port to publish for Nintendo devices - lots of games don’t release on all possible platforms for business reasons.
- tinco 11mo agoYeah, it's obviously just a crude razor. What I meant is that if it's not on Nintendo, it's a sign you should be more diligent as a parent. Obviously you should always monitor and ideally play the games your kids play yourself, but I can imagine not all parents do that. The Nintendo test is a reasonable alternative, my mom did it in the 90s and I had enough fun games even if I missed out on a bunch of cool PC and Sony titles.
- swores 11mo agoAgreed, just thought worth pointing out to anyone reading your comment that a game not being on Nintendo doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s not child-friendly (lots of people don’t realise that making a game work on different platforms involves actual dev work rather than just an equivalent of “file -> save as -> choose platform”)
