EU is getting out of hand with the amount of age ratings they are putting on boxes (Tales of Vesperia Switch CE)

Interestingly, Smash Bros. Ultimate does not. I have the Austrian version, which is in German but doesn't have an USK logo. They probably really wanted Yoshi to be on the cover š
With a cover like that they should just make it one big age rating to save us all from seeing it.
Honestly, the actual title of the game is still bigger than the age ratings, so they are still holding back. Now, once they take over more than 50% of the packaging, yeah, maybe then it might be time to consider to stop.[
Definitive Edition? Not with that cover art
Edit: Wrong forum. Noooooooooooooooooo
Nah, I got the limited Majora's Mask 3DS edition in the UK and had all this crap on it, Nintendo seems to do it too with limited/collector editions unless that was just a one-off.
Is that the standard edition or the limited edition? Because for a standard edition it's unusual to have all regional rating on there.
Either way, USK suck so much, and I wish publishers just did double-sided vanity covers period! I'd be pissed as the designer if my work is getting fucked up by some logo.

It's always the worst with multi-country editions.
As for standard editions, that's the reason why I stopped getting German games and ordered them from Amazon UK, before switching to digital only.

That's usually only the case for Limited Editions (do you get the joke haha).
If that's the green one you can have it.
Edit.
Just read that one is german.
Huh? That's Bandai Namco cheaping out by creating a single SKU for all PAL territories so they have to cover all kinds of ratings.
Until you realise HQ of NOE is in Grossostheim, so you probably gonna need to pay import on these Switch games.
At people calling this "cheaping out" for only using one box art for all regions:
Releasing a niche anime RPG at retail at all across Europe in 2019 is literally the opposite of cheaping out.

No, no, no, we have three different ways of rating games for different severities: for regular games it's the USK (legally binding age rating), for very violent or pornographic games it's the BPjM (forces 18+ and requires selling under the counter or in adult-only sections) and for Nazi imagery and such it's a court mandated ban (comes in the two variants of outlawing sales and outlawing possession).
Anything without a USK rating is 18+ by default.
Also I guess the USK labels got bigger because politicians were worried that people didn't notice them before...

They should use the entertainer chart:
- Michael Jackson = 6 & up
- R-Kelly = 12 & up
- Chris Brown = Violence
- Trump - Sexual impropriety

Next on the agenda is to get Greggs to stop their vegan sausage roll foolishness.
