At present, the system updates for game consoles are mainly focused on fixing system vulnerabilities and improving security to prevent users from cracking, but the system updates provided by Nintendo often come with some less conspicuous changes. According to players' reports, Nintendo added the content of the mainland Chinese swear word library to the 15.0.0 version update, with a higher recognition rate and protecting a civilized gaming environment. Of course, in terms of civilized games, most game manufacturers around the world maintain a relatively unified consciousness, that is, rejecting swear words, violence and insults.

As early as 2016, the popular MOBA game " League of Legends " had already started to produce a swearing punishment system, and punished players who use insulting, pornographic and violent characters in game communication. However, because the system is difficult to update in time, or the "homophone" cannot be fully banned, the punishment system has been offline before it has officially logged into the national server. Instead, it is cancelled dialogue between all members to eliminate the possibility of malicious insults. In fact, Chinese swear words are the most difficult to deal with in various languages, with many homophones and many words, which are almost impossible to completely eliminate. However, completely banning speech does not seem to be a good solution.
Nintendo Switch currently does not have many games with harsh locale environments, but Nintendo's efforts to maintain the civilization of the game environment are still worthy of recognition, but relatively speaking, companies that do not have too many "strength" often make mistakes because of this. Earlier, the casual game "Obi Island" launched a violation word blocking system. When a language that does not meet the normative words will be automatically converted to "Ao". The system of , but the immature system often accidentally hurts players' normal speeches, which makes people laugh and cry.

It has to be said that there are almost no feasible solutions in maintaining the game communication environment, especially the profound Chinese language, and the meanings of different tones may be different. However, the interaction between players in the game is a very important part, and maintaining the game communication system has become a difficult problem. Although Artificial intelligence + manual review method can solve most of the problems of banned words, players also need to work together to create a good game and network environment.
