Note
- Parental controls can be set on the Nintendo Switch system or through the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls application for smart devices.
- Parental controls are set for the system, not each individual user. The same restrictions will apply to everyone who uses the system, so they should be set with the youngest player in mind.
- The ability to set Play-Time Limits, Bedtime Alarms, and view play activity data is only available through the free Nintendo Switch Parental Controls smart device application.
- Nintendo eShop restrictions can only be set through the parent/guardian’s Nintendo Account profile settings on a PC or smart device (accessible by signing in to the Nintendo Account website).
- You may also find our information on removing the Parental Controls PIN helpful.
