The Computer Entertainment Rating Organization(JPJapanese: 特定非営利活動法人コンピュータエンターテインメントレーティング機構
Romaji: Tokutei Hieiri Katsudō Hōjin Konpyūta Entāteinmento Rētingu Kikō) (CERO) is a Japanese video game content rating system used for Nintendo's gaming systems starting with the Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo GameCube. It was established by the Japan-based Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association (CESA)(JPJapanese: 一般社団法人コンピュータエンターテインメント協会
Romaji: Ippan Shadan Hōjin Konpyūta Entāteinmento Kyōkai), an organization that Nintendo is a member of.[1]
The CERO does not rate games that contain excessive sexual, violent, criminal, or indecent content.[2] [3] In addition to this, Nintendo hasn't allowed these types of games to be developed for their systems long before the CERO's establishment.
