Wii U

Before you even get to that verification screen, the system locks in the age you put on the account. So a kid who doesn't know about this, would put their real age and then get to this part and have to ask their parents for the CC so the parents have to be informed that the kid will be playing online with random people.

Of course, the kid could just create another account to bypass this, but then you'd have one less account to use on the system.

Its a pretty good idea, even with its flaws. Besides, its just 50 cents. That's less than half of a game... an its game, that is.

Also, you CC info isn't saved during this step.

I understand what they're doing, but couldn't a kid just easily get around this..?

Kids aren't smart enough

You don't get a brain till you're 18

Kid: MAMMY CAN I GET ON THE NINTENDO NETWORK???

Mom: Sure, I'll just use my credit card

and same goes for buying other specific M RATED games >.>

50 cents is way too expansive. Nintendo says it's to keep the kids off but honestly they're just being greedy. Oh well. nintendo just isn't what it used to be anymore

Guess I don't care as much as other people here because I have a job.

3DS Code: Evan King 2406-5128-9341

This is such a FAIL.

Lol this is weird. The intentions kinda makes sense, but it either seems like it'll ultimately be

1) A deterent for some folks
2) Something where kids will lie about their age (which they do anyway).

But maybe this IS their plan. With every kid lying about their age, the userbase statistics will show that there are a lot of adults playing the Wii U which could better ensure future M-rated 3rd party multiplats!

It all makes sense now!
