Splatoon 3 is considered a "first person shooter" game. However, the guns that are used look like bright colored water guns and the "ammunition" is paint. The rating for this game is Everyone 10+. You can read more about the game here: https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/splatoon-3-switch



The following is more information from Nintendo regarding COPPA compliance and Nintendo
https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/387/~/what-is-the-child-online-privacy-protection-act%3F-%28coppa%29
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a U.S. federal law that applies to the online collection of personal information from children under 13 years of age.

Before children age 12 and under can participate in any online activities, a parent or guardian must set up a Nintendo Network ID (NNID) or Nintendo Account for children under age 13. To verify that a parent or guardian has granted consent, they will need to provide a valid credit card number when setting up a Nintendo Account or NNID for the child.
Once a child’s account has been created, parents can set restrictions on using specific online games, applications, and features.
