Japan's New Games Rating System

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday February 21, 2006 @06:36AM from the someone-thought-of-the-children dept.

The site GamesIndustry.biz has a report on a change to the CERO system. The Computer Entertainment Rating Organization (CERO), now has an adults-only category. From the article: "The A rating is equivalent to the current CERO All rating for all ages, B is for CERO 12 (for ages twelve and over), C equates to CERO 15, and the D rating would be for ages seventeen and up - for which there was no previous equivalent. The A-D ratings will remain advisory, but the Z rating will be regulated by the government."

Technically erotic/adult/h-games in Japan aren't rated by CERO, even though their clean counterparts on the Playstation2/Dreamcast are. So the answer would probably be unrated, or if they're really bored, they'll add it to the Z rating.
