First page is full of people telling you Nintendo has nothing to do with that, it's the ESRB, and yet there you go you continue with blaming Nintendo lmaopresumably because Nintendo et al aren't that incompetent, right?

No; just that Nintendo should do due diligence and make sure that they haven't been tricked. It's possible, from my understanding, to fake a rating. (You can lie to the ESRB, at the very least.) Last I checked, perhaps I'm wrong, but asshole isn't appropiate for a E+10 game, so someone uploading the game to the e-shop should have caught that just by giving the trailer a once over.I don't quite understand the intention of this thread. Do you think Nintendo should ban titles from the eShop that include swearing words? Do you want Nintendo to introduce its own rating system? After all, Nintendo can't tell developers to use a stricter ESRB rating than ESRB gave to a title, so I fail to see what you are actually proposing.
The ESRB system in general being flawed is a different topic, though. Difficult to actually change though as rating agencies that actually play through the games they test can't cope with the sheer number of games released these days.
Nintendo recently made a statement about censorship saying that they will not do anything of the sort because that's what the rating boards are for. I know this isn't exactly about censorship, but it's basically saying if it has a rating they aren't going to waste our time to go through the game and check its content because that's what rating boards are for. This game has a rating so why would they waste their time and money going through it to check and see if it has bad language or content. If it does and it got past the ratings board, it's on the ratings board, not Nintendo.No; just that Nintendo should do due diligence and make sure that they haven't been tricked.

Right, but if someone is blatantly falsifying a rating or trying to upload something other than what they're supposed to, that's an issue.Nintendo recently made a statement about censorship saying that they will not do anything of the sort because that's what the rating boards are for.

Then that's Nintendo's fault for not verifying the rating. Though there is no indication that this has taken place.Right, but if someone is blatantly falsifying a rating or trying to upload something other than what they're supposed to, that's an issue.
It's not Nintendo's job to check if a dev lied to the ESRB. If you are actually that bothered by this, then send in a complaint to the ESRB, and, if they agree with you and change the rating, Nintendo will pull the game from their store until the new rating can be applied.No; just that Nintendo should do due diligence and make sure that they haven't been tricked.

Why don't you report the dev to the ESRB instead of whining on here? What do you want us to do? If seeing the word asshole has affected you that much report them. jesusRight, but if someone is blatantly falsifying a rating or trying to upload something other than what they're supposed to, that's an issue.
Well, my understanding was that "asshole" obviously inappropriate for E+10 ratings. I can tell you for a fact that 10 years ago it wasn't. So, by that standard, that would be an indication something was amiss.Then that's Nintendo's fault for not verifying the rating. Though there is no indication that this has taken place.
To an extent. I mean, if it were blatantly obvious that given rating did not correspond to the e-shop page, then that's just due dilligence. I mean, imagine if there was an obvious porn game on the e-shop rated "E+10"; I don't think this excuse would work. Now, "asshole" is much less severe than that, but a quick review of at least the content to be posted on the e-shop page is not unreasonable to make sure everything lines up and nothing is amiss.It's not Nintendo's job to check if a dev lied to the ESRB.

Bringing up Nintendo at all in this context is just being inflammatory.
You really seem to be going out of your way to try to make this about Nintendo for some reason.To an extent.

Ahah, I didn't know this figure of speech and I was reading this like some kind of innuendo.
