It's not a matter of where your servers are located but under what country your company is registered.

They'd have to open a whole new subsidiary in a different European country to bypass this problem.

OK thanks. Opening a company and transferring assets on paper like that can be done fairly easily though?

I can't be certain of that.  I'm also unsure just how broad that German law reaches.   By that I mean would a subsidiary, even based in a different coutnry, still be bound by the German laws of its parent company?   I can't say for sure if it would or not.  If it would still apply, then obviously even opening up shop (eShop that is) in a different country still wouldn't solve the problem. 

 

I'm pretty certain that Nintendo is looking at all their options.  If a viable solution is there, they will take it.
