[Korean Rating Website](https://www.grac.or.kr/)
[It was rated E (duh) on October 20th](https://www.grac.or.kr/Statistics/Popup/Pop_StatisticsDetails.aspx?64837e5a3b4064be90cd98ee1d71f8a6a6c813a6a053e8e5ec12581d53453bb0), which is a week ago. Surprised no one noticed it till now. More importantly, on the same day, [Mario vs Donkey Kong was rated](https://www.grac.or.kr/Statistics/Popup/Pop_StatisticsDetails.aspx?9091b84171d948f7b172f5549febca39a6c813a6a053e8e5ec12581d53453bb0), which is coming out in February.
Maybe proof that release is more imminent than we thought? I also heard the news about Brazil giving it a rating as well.
I checked their history, and usually a game rating in SK is done pretty late. It’s never more than half a year from release date it seems. Stuff like [Metroid Prime Remastered](https://www.grac.or.kr/Statistics/Popup/Pop_StatisticsDetails.aspx?ac7c4ecb8175a21dea3d90f887f25d6ea6c813a6a053e8e5ec12581d53453bb0) was even rated like, 5 days before reveal and release, although that was a special occasion (shadow drop).
Dual rating on the same day seem pretty common with them too, for example [Kirby’s Return to Dreamland Deluxe](https://www.grac.or.kr/Statistics/Popup/Pop_StatisticsDetails.aspx?b5180143300c119f33b6dca247dafc4ea6c813a6a053e8e5ec12581d53453bb0) and [Fire Emblem Engage](https://www.grac.or.kr/Statistics/Popup/Pop_StatisticsDetails.aspx?22fda5bc02f94a58a6a7d4e42a78fd1fa6c813a6a053e8e5ec12581d53453bb0) were both rated on the same day, 9/23/22, then were both released a month from each other in early 2023. Sounds pretty similar to the situation we’re in right now, huh? Both TTYD and Mario vs DK were rated on the same day during the fall, and the latter is releasing in February next year….
I’d like to make an educated guess based on this that TTYD is releasing early 2024. I think April is a safe guess, since January got Another Code, February got Mario vs DK, and March got Princess Peach Showtime. Or maybe it could even be a shadow drop with a Nintendo Direct? ….It made more sense in my head lol, but could you imagine?
Anyways, thoughts?
p.s. If you want to search things for yourself, go [here](https://www.grac.or.kr/Statistics/GameStatistics.aspx) and search “한국닌텐도” in the “신청자” section (Ctrl F is your friend). It should list every Nintendo-published games rated here.

I think with the switch 2 rumored next year in the fall, I think it’s making more and more sense for it to come out in the first half of the year.
Although I’m sure it will be cross compatible.
