Nintendo of Europe Blocks Mature Content at Night

[citation][nom]kinggraves[/nom]You fail to see how people would be unavailable for 4 specific hours a day? Grow up yourself and get a life and a job. Not everyone is home 24/7. They have parental controls, should be enough.I was wondering how long it would take for someone to fail comprehension and say it's Nintendo's fault. Nintendo is doing this in Europe, to abide by German law.. Germany is a part of Europe, complain to Germany. Nintendo doesn't need to prgram a different market for every single country in the EU. Complain to your entire semisocialist big brother of a union. It's not like the EU listens to any of the wishes of it's citizens anyway. If I were you, I'd be more concerned about the eventual fall of the shaky union rather than having to stay up to buy Zombi U.[/citation]

so far though, i don't Bellevue content over the web is restricted like this, such as digital download.

this IS nintendo blanketing all of europe because a law may apply to it, but has yet to EVER apply to it to my knowledge.

be an adult
be an adult who works nights
be an adult who can never access adult content on the wiiu

This goes along drifting into funny and less serious stuff. I had in mind that Japanese guy who legally married that Nintendo character in mind.

Germany, not eu
nintendo over there is based in germany, an they are applying a law to all of europe that doesnt even have a president set in germany as ever being used.

This is most definitely Nintendo's fault. All they need to do is to do the usual age verification (possibly asking for a credit card) and that should be enough. If it isn't enough, then prepare for every single other content distributor in Germany to start facing hefty fines because none of them do this. Also, what 16 year old isn't up past 11pm anyway?

Or just, you know, change the internal clock time.

Europe/German bashing. So funny.

Let me tell you that there's no law in Germany which restricts consuming adult content to 11pm-3am in general. However, this may apply if one is not willing to implement parental control mechanisms. So who's really to blame?

... the death of something that should never have happened and will be undone sooner or later does not greatly worry me.
