Revolution to feature parental controls

[Nitrous]

Nintendo has confirmed that its next generation console will include a play control system allowing parents to impose limitations on games with more adult content. Meaning a password-controlled setting will be included in every Revolution unit so that adults can decide which games are deemed suitable for younger gamers even though most Nintendo games are appropriate for all ages!

The technology will follow the PEGI age rating system in Europe, meaning the level of protection will include the five current age bands, 3+, 7+, 12+, 16+ and 18+.

When I read that today in the Business news mag I was almost laughing at the thought... put it this way. Could you really see your mother trying to turn on the machine and use that TV remote they call a controller for this thing? I doubt my mother could ever fiqure it out let alown turn the thing on lol

I dont see anyway in which parental controls would really make a big diffrence unless ya parents could fiqure it out. + the only 15+ rated game I know off for Nintendo is there Resident Evil games, the rest are kiddy games which is why I never bothered with the GameCube.. meh

[[N]eto]

Well, hopefully we won't have to deal with the same amount of "kiddy" games this time around and they really give the system something great to play.

^ya wat he said

[inter]

I see it as more of a useless feature, but there always those overprotective parents ......

[Nova]

my parent would reall give a flying f*** of what games that i buy that is not for my age since they HAVE to buy it for me.

[Element Lord]

haha! your kidding! Parental controls! omg now i wish i hadnt taught my dad how to use the gamecube.....gulp.

[Nitrous]

^ If ya over the age of 12 then I doubt you will have to worry... most Nintendo games are made for under 10's anyway :P

[STEELIX]

most parents that care about high rated games wont buy high rated games anyway the higest a kid could get his hands on is teen and there not that bad

[MORSN417]

oh i am sooo happy it will have parental controls NOT

[Some1]

How Stupid. Why put parental control? besides Violence is good for little kiddys. :P

[Jack]

^ ROFLMAO

Damn straight it is. It only teaches them to kill others with big knifes. :D

[Nova]

if there was no violence, how ciould we learn the abc's. A is for Alan who i killed yesterday, B is for Berry who will die today. C is for Chris who i shiot last week...

[~Felly~]

Lol, yeah. My mom doesn't care what kinda games I play. If I can play GTA, I can sure as he** play Resident Evil without stupid, ret*rded parental controls!!! (Plus, my mom only knows how to work the PS2, anyway. :P)

[-Gold-]

lol well parental controls wont matter for most of us... but the younger people may need them, like my friends 6 year old brother has a ps2, so i guess the same thing could happen the the new GC

[DeFJaM]

my parents dont care wot games i play as they know im not going to go and stab someone after i've played it

or wont I.....

[xxHawkxx]

my parents dont care and also, if they werent going to let u play it WTF is the point of buying the game?

[teh33]

This probably means there will be more adult games for the rev.

[GoOdOeRwIcKeD]

ok u guys are all saying that y buy tha game if u wont let ur kid play it.... lol have u ever thoguht that the grown up might want to play also???

[Nitrous]

Well in that case they wouldn't set a parental control password and if they did they'd know the code...

[teh33]

Well wouldn't the parents set the password?

[Nitrous]

Well wouldn't the parents set the password?

For feck sake yes!... it's called PARENTAL CONTROL.... the clue is in the sentance...

[GoOdOeRwIcKeD]

meh yea its all confousing i would ... just not let my kid play the game or hide it from them lmao^_^

[Invader_gir]

didnt they just make it that you need identification to get higher rated games?
over here, or.. in this general area at leat, you need id to get MA15 and R18 rated games anyway unless it was obvious you were older than those ages..
geh.. passworded things piss me off

[inter]

yeah especially passworded rar archives

[Nova]

is till dont gett he point of parental controls. like i stated before i will say again. its your parents who buy it for you so why wont they let you play


-one plus is that ur parents get you an awesome game for holiday/birthday they can set password so you cant play it before you open it. but that it bad too

[Silverado_Rival]

too bad my parents won't know of such feature......LOL. it sucks for some people dough....

[GoOdOeRwIcKeD]

yae well nintendo is gonna get a big decrease and sells with all this **** i mean comon the controlers the child games and now parental controls thank god theres nto gonna be any more zelda games besides the one comming out for GC

[Nitrous]

Zelda is like GTA... two diffrent types of games but as long as there selling and making money they will continue until your out of nappies....

[GoOdOeRwIcKeD]

no after this zelda its all over only gonna be more hand held games... trust me i no lol in every game informer and interveiws they say there done

[Deadpool]

You would be surprised. They say things like that to throw you off, and then come out with a game franchise that is like gold.

[Nitrous]

^ Speaks my language... think I'm gunna like this n00b... only jokin phatty ;)

[GoOdOeRwIcKeD]

ok but we have are opinons i doubt there will be another zelda game but anyway back on topic lmao parental controlls ... what fagss,, llo

[Deadpool]

Oh, there will be another Zelda game. They still have the time period after his adult years in OoT
And Nitro, good joke. Thanks bud.

[GoOdOeRwIcKeD]

ok ok ok topic tho man ....i got nothin

[Deadpool]

Well, parental controls have some benefits, but, I think it should be trashed, most parents won't know how to use the system, only us gamers do. Am I right fellas?

[GoOdOeRwIcKeD]

yea man lol really and like the parents r gonna read and figure out o hey this has parental locks im gonna use it hey i added u on msn y dont u come on ever ur on C/d but not msn

[Deadpool]

I thought that was you the last time I opened my msn.

[GoOdOeRwIcKeD]

heh yea

[Deadpool]

Anymore news about the final decision with the parental control? Is it still on the Revo?

[GoOdOeRwIcKeD]

looking fo me self but i have nothing that we already talked about

[Deadpool]

Yeah, I guess we will have to wait until the next Nintendo conference.
Nintendo, please trash this feature!

[GoOdOeRwIcKeD]

hah yea....i just doubt im gonna get a revy ... if they make new zelda games witch there not i defenetly wouldnt play on that controller
