To Nintendo Life on YouTube 842k Here’s the full statement from AdHoc : We’ve been quiet for the last few days not because we don’t want to address this stuff, but because we’ve been trying to make sure we’re being good partners with Nintendo.

Why This Matters

They’ve made their own statement regarding this issue: “ Nintendo requires all games on its platforms to receive ratings from independent organizations and to meet our established content and platform guidelines. While we inform partners when their titles don’t meet our guidelines, Nintendo does not make changes to partner content. We also do not discuss specific content or the criteria used in making these determinations.

The gaming community has been watching developments like this closely.

Key Takeaways

• ” As Nintendo states, any game that’s going to be on the Nintendo platform needs to ‘meet [Nintendo’s] established content and platform guidelines.
• Nintendo has content guidelines.
• Our game didn’t meet those guidelines, so we made changes that would allow us to release on their platform.

The Bottom Line

Nintendo has content guidelines. Our game didn’t meet those guidelines, so we made changes that would allow us to release on their platform.

Is this a W or an L? You decide.
