Nintendo Switch Users Can Now Hide NSFW Games

A fresh detail about the Nintendo Switch and its upcoming version has surfaced concerning the switch to digital game cards. Typically, these cards are visible and shareable among users with the same account. But there’s a new twist: players can opt to conceal certain game cards, keeping others from seeing their gaming library. Although this feature is likely intended for shielding children from inappropriate games or removing unwanted demos on family plans, creative minds on the internet have come up with another application. Users are already discussing how this hidden feature might be used to camouflage adult-oriented games.

Although Nintendo upholds family-friendly values through its game content, it’s worth noting that the Nintendo Switch’s digital store (eShop) contains a significant number of games not suitable for all ages (NSFW). Surprisingly, these mature games are common on the platform and frequently go on sale, which boosts their visibility within the eShop. This new feature now allows players to buy and conceal such games from public view.

The digital storefront for the Nintendo Switch, often referred to as the eShop, has been a target of many humorous criticisms. It’s infamous not only for its performance issues, but also for its lax control over the quality of games it hosts. For instance, games with explicit content like NSFW and hentai have slipped through unchecked. Furthermore, there are numerous games that appear to be blatant copies or imitations of more successful titles.

Regardless, there exists a market for adult-themed games on the Nintendo Switch, and it’s expected to persist on the Nintendo Switch 2 as well. Providing an option for users to conceal their game cards enables players to enjoy any game they wish without fear of judgment over their gaming selections.

There’s optimism that Nintendo may tighten its control over certain game types when the new Nintendo Switch is released. Whether or not adults can easily access non-family safe content remains uncertain. Fingers crossed, parents with a family subscription will have more options to protect their children from viewing inappropriate games, be they too frightening, violent, or adult-oriented.
