Usually the Nintendo Ninjas are good about legal compliance. You'd figure they'd've had this squared away with the Bundesrepublik before this.

Well, the point is that there is no such regulation in Germany. Nintendo's statement makes it sound like there was a problem with german law. There isn't. Two days ago I purchased Resident Evil 5 off PSN because of the Resident Evil promotion. It was 2pm, a bright day and I didn't even have to confirm my age. It was just *click* and download. I can also download Bioshock from the Mac App Store or go into any store and buy an 18+ rated game. It's not the dark age here, really Most game packages even explicitly say "uncut" on them and none of those publishers ever got into trouble. 

Edit: I guess the real reason is that some companies (Nintendo, Amazon,...) are simply afraid to get into trouble with the USK.

it's about the server location.. the PSN store doesn't have their servers in germany.. Nintendo did.. 

Really? lol awesome Well, apparently they were overly careful but that's just the way Nintendo is. Anyways, I love my Wii U and I'm happy they sorted this out. Guess I'll be downloading ZombiU this week with the price discount and all... and I won't even have to wait for the dark do my horrifying business muhaha...
