Good news folks, it looks like there might be a crackdown of sorts happening on the staggering amount of "hentai" puzzle games on the Nintendo Switch eShop, or at the very least a tactic that's helped give them such a platform.

They're the sort of games that promise intrepid players a glimpse of some scantily clad anime girls if they have the patience to sit through a puzzle or two first. Even though Nintendo has expanded beyond its classic "family-friendly" vibe a fair bit in more recent years, the blatant appearances of these games on the platform has always been rather shocking, even if it's obviously not Nintendo itself making them.
