Re: Nintendo and Animal Crossing? Okay for a child

Secondly, there are a lot of things within Japanese culture that are considered innocent or mild, or okay for children, that you might find objectionable as a Christian. Having never played the game, I cannot speak to specifics, but if you see any mention of things like "yokai", please understand that that is a Japanese word for demons or spirits, as in the game Yokai Watch, which is a Nintendo product for the Nintendo 3DS:

Also look for words like "tengu" or "kami", as these also relate to Japanese demonology and deities within the Shinto religion.

Thank you - I will keep an eye out. I appreciate the information. God bless!
