The Pan European Game Information Board (PEGI) has increased the age rating for several mobile games published by Nintendo and The Pokemon Company.
The age-rating increase targets games which have gambling-like elements, including the following five titles, which have all seen their age-ratings bumped up to 16 in Europe.
- Fire Emblem Heroes
- Mario Kart Tour
- Pokemon Masters EX
- Pokemon TCG Pocket
- Pokemon Go
All of the listed titles include gacha or loot-box type mechanics, making them targets under Europe’s crackdown on games which feature them. Some of the above titles are already banned in regions such as Belgium, which takes a considerably harder stance against titles with gambling-like elements.
