Retro video game compilations and ratings

Overview

Recent developments in the retro gaming market involve age rating processes for classic titles. Sunsoft reported that its upcoming collection, ‘SUNSOFT is Back! Retro Game Selection 2’, received a CERO B rating (ages 12 and up) in Japan due to ‘sexual’ content, a decision the company expressed confusion over via social media. The collection, which includes titles such as ‘Ikki’ and ‘Super Arabian’, is scheduled for release in December on PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Windows.

In South Korea, nearly 30 classic Capcom titles originally released for the NES and Super Nintendo have received age ratings from the Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC). The list includes titles like ‘Breath of Fire’ and ‘Mega Man Soccer’. Because these games were submitted via Capcom’s distributor, Gamepia, observers suggest the company may be preparing a new compilation focused on console-exclusive retro classics.
