Or at least in the UK. Check out the first few seconds of the vid. What would cause a game originally rated as for everyone to be considered 16+ in 2022?

There's no way Grunty's tits pushed it to T in Anno Domini of Our Lord 2022. We have E10 for that.

Must be some of the lowkey gore or something.

Oh, I wonder if it's because of those pumpkins or w/e that say "thank you." Grant Kirkhope talked on Game Grumps about having to get the original audio to the ratings board because they thought they were saying "fuck you."

Yeah, I can't think of anything in the game that should have caused such a drastic increase. ESRB E10+ at the most is what it should have gotten.

I did some reading, and it's possible that the rating applies to the Nintendo 64 Online app itself, since it has or is set to have games like Sin & Punishment, which is rated Teen for good reason.

WTF, why?

https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/banjo-kazooie/bt3l7mvtd4qf

This is E. I could even make an argument for it being E-10+ but certainly no higher.

Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process.

So everything on the Nintendo 64 Online thing is rated T, regardless of the individual ratings of the games that they upload to the service?

They probably have to apply the rating of the highest-rated game to the service as a whole, but the individual games have their own ratings.

But I don't have the N64 app or plan to get it, so I can't check myself.
