Info for Parents for Nintendo Switch 2

Nintendo offers a wide variety of tools to help parents restrict content on Nintendo consoles. Give your kids the freedom to play and explore in an environment you manage with Parental Controls. You can easily set guidelines for your family’s console - including setting restrictions on which players can communicate with your child online and which friends can use GameChat with them - so that you can all relax and have fun. Take control of what your child can (and can't) do on their console. Be sure to talk to your kids about what kind of information they shouldn't be sharing online, like their name, address, email address and phone number.

Make informed choices for your family with the content ratings system. Not sure which games are appropriate for kids of a certain age? Age ratings let you know at a glance if a game is right for your child.
