Configuring Parental Controls
NOTE
: A single New Nintendo 2DS XL system can only have one Parental Controls configuration. It is recommended that if you want
to restrict the use of content for multiple users, configure the system with settings to match the restrictions for the youngest user
and share the PIN only with those allowed to view restricted content.
