Two of Nintendo's upcoming first-party DS titles have been rated by the ESRB recently. First we have Women's Murder Club: Games of Passion. The game has been rated Teen for "Alcohol Reference, Blood and Mild Violence". The summary sheds some light on the reasons behind their rating: - "This is a seek-and-find mystery game in which players search for specific items/clues on a screen full of objects. The story revolves around a string of murders committed against beautiful women in various locations around San Francisco. Images of victims' bodies and the circumstances surrounding their death are depicted in still-frame panels. Players must visit the crime scenes to gather clues, interrogate witness and suspects, and solve various mini-game puzzles (e.g., chemical analysis, matching fibers, and running ballistics) to analyze the evidence and find the killer. Some murder scenes depict red bloodstains on the ground or faint streaks of blood smeared on walls and floors. During the course of the game, the protagonist-investigators discuss getting together for dinner with alcoholic beverages (e.g., "An evening with you guarantees a morning hangover," "I've got the champagne on the way," and "You don't have to drink all three shots at once!").
Style Savvy has also been rated by the ESRB but with no additional descriptors. The summary is pretty concise by stating: - "This is a simulation game in which players assume the role of a clothing store employee trying to make her mark on the world of fashion. Players can assist customers in coordinating and purchasing clothes, put together their own outfits, and even enter fashion competitions."
It's still quite some time before we see Style Savvy but Women's Murder Club will be heading our way sooner, around Fall of this year |
