Nintendo today added a new news item to their European eShop.

 

Dear Customer,
Nintendo has lifted the access restrictions to content rated 18+. Adults can now browse and buy all games at any time of the day.
Following analysis of the Parental Controls system on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS in cooperation with USK, the German Entertainment Software Self-Regulation Body, it was deemed that Nintendo's Parental Control system is of very high quality and offers a remarkable level of protection for children. Nintendo's Parental Control system was found to have proved itself in practice.
Nintendo always encourages parents to make use of Parental Controls to control access to content they deem inappropriate for their children.

Glorious victory is ours, adult comrades.

A little too excited over nothing >:I

It certainly good news and about time too. However it should never have been implemented in the first place.

Wow thank you Nintendo, thanks OP. This is great news!

 

It wasn't Nintendo of Japan that made these rules (US owners can access 18+ content anytime) it was the silly German EU Nintendo rules.
