==== Fun Fact ====

*One month after the initial release of [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps4/User:Ada_L0ve_Lace Atelier Meruru]: The Apprentice of Arland, shipments of it were halted due to it having been mis-rated. It was re-released a few days later with a '''B''' rating from CERO (instead of '''A''').
(Atelier Meruru Plus: the Apprentice of Arland on Vita is rated as B for CERO, T for ESRB, and 12 for PEGI.)

=== Play duration ===

 You can restrict the duration that your child plays per day. 
 With this restriction, when the daily play duration that you set is exceeded, the system cannot be used.
