No idea what you talking about, aside from this game not looking beyond the PEGI 12 it got and every Naruto game at this point has been assigned a 7 rating or a 12 rating (mostly).

Storm 3 isn't there yet.

Mid post - I searched it up and came across a few threads debating whether the apparent 16 rating is because of blood despite Storm 2 having some... It would be silly given that the anime and manga are both more graphic and aimed at kids, not just in Japan but here in Europe.

Looking back at videos like this: http://www.saiyanisland.com/2012/07/naruto-shippuden-ultimate-ninja-storm-3-trailer-hd/

The 16 rating was clearly provisional, a placeholder in Europe of sorts which they use in advance to cover themselves just in case (of something). Nintendo likewise have an "18 rating" for Bayonetta 2's trailer (on the 3DS store at least), despite there only being a teaser which doesn't go out there in sex appeal or visual violence. It's safe to assume it will be rated at least 16 by PEGI as the first one got 18 from PEGI, M from ESRB, 15 from BBFC (Uncut and easy to find on the same shelf as an 18 rated copy) and was famed for being a one two combo of sex appeal and satisfying fluid combat.

Bored, same shit...they need to improve the game mechanics rather than the character roster
