The 18+ cut off isn't the rule. Most places in Europe set their ages in the range of 14 to 16. I dunno what the age of consent in Japan is, I wouldn't be surprised if it's 13. Nintendo HAS TO to avoid breaking laws, what they are doing has to be done, it's not a choice.

Nothing has to be done. It's a girl in a bikini, that's all. She's not actually naked so it wouldn't be breaking any laws.

I worded that poorly. Nintendo is not breaking the law per se. But it will lead to an inevitable bad publicity and unnecessary headache. Someone like Anita is gonna make a video that goes viral and people will get increasingly anal and so on. In a way, Nintendo has to do something about it for their own sake.
