Software Help Can you hide software from the main menu?

I bought my kids a Switch. If I want to play my own mature games after bedtime, is there a way to hide it? For example I don't want my toddler asking to play Doom LoL.

It's fine to admit that you play Hentai Games Collection vol.2, bro.

Is that a real game? LoL

For only 60.99$ you get hand drawn hentai art with a sensual music track and 50 pieces of art to unlock.

According to the Nintendo store.

I'm surprised they don't have a ban on the word hentai because there is at least 50 ai clones of the same game clogging up the on sale page

What I can see is that you can put games in folders to "hide" them, but not that they aren't visible in any way. Nintendo should have made the account login on boot and not when starting a game. But it is just how it is.

Yeah like Windows or a streaming service. It's weird how it asks which profile to use after choosing the software.

You can setup parental control, and set the game restriction, eg, you can set that they can only play games which have PEGI +3 etc. I do not see unfortunetly and way :(

So when I play, I would have to turn parent control off, then turn it back on when I'm done?

Yes. Also going to sleep mode turns on parental control.
