GTA: Chinatown Wars will be first Z-rated DS game |
Ó
When Japan gets Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the Nintendo DS this fall, players will find that their rating board has given the game a CERO Z rating, which is the Japanese equivalent of ESRB's AO (Adults Only). That part really isn't news since a) all the other GTAs got CERO Z as well, and b) it's GTA. What's worth taking note of here is that GTA: Chinatown Wars will be the first DS game with such a rating.
Now why is that important? It wouldn't be the first time that GTA: Chinatown Wars is used as a gauge to measure M-rated game success on the DS. This time, it'll test the waters in Japan. The game would also be the second CERO Z-rated on a Nintendo platform (next to Capcom's Killer 7), so it'd be interesting to see how the Nintendo market in Japan would respond to this release.
More on ratings:
- No, no, no, no, don't lie: publishers to face heavy fine if caught lying to PEGI
- Australia to block online access to games with content beyond MA-15
