I noticed a few weeks ago I couldn't watch 18 rated videos on the 3ds eshop before 11pm, pretty ridiculous but no big deal I guess, well seems the same thing happens on the Wii u, literally no 18 rated content can be accessed before 11, I can't look up any info on zombi u or even buy it if I wanted to (not that I'd pay the stupid price) same with all other 18 rated games

Seriously Nintendo needs to sort this shit out and fast

SRTtoZ · Dec 1, 2012

Are you under 18?

Tralfamadore64 · Dec 1, 2012

Lolwut

Mine doesn't do that. I was looking at ZombiU info a few afternoons ago

ElectricBlanketFire · Dec 1, 2012

Just be happy your parents paid the 50 cents.

Instro · Dec 1, 2012

How old are you OP...

Ahahaha, this is such a hilarious feature. Sorry TC. The 50 cents thing is still kind of odd since there's no refund though.

Well then, you have parental controls on.

NateDrake · Dec 1, 2012

I think you messed up setting up the parental settings.

friskykillface · Dec 1, 2012

this does seem to be an issue today, i see 1 or 2 other people reporting problems elsewhere... unless that's you.

maybe there is a glitch in the european parental ratings today. i blame nintendo.

Nintendo charges one one hundredth the cost of a year of Xbox Live to set up a Nintendo Network child account.

Instro · Dec 1, 2012

In all seriousness, that's part of parental controls. If its not an issue on your end then there might be some sort of server problem.

Dead Prince · Dec 1, 2012

Hi babe. I unlocked the system for you this time. Make sure if you leave your video game on that you close *those* sites.

Love Nana.

So an Xbox live one year subscription isn't 50 dollars?

Microsoft charging for Live Gold is miserable. Nintendo charging for child accounts is miserable.

Classier than all the meltdowns over 50 cents when Wii U launched.

What does that have to do with paying 50 cents to make an account if you're under 18 on a Nintendo console?

Gospel · Dec 1, 2012

I have to put in my DOB every single time I want watch a video or view an M-rated game on the eshop or Wii Shop channel as well. I don't know what the deal is either but it's quite irritating.

Nothing. Having to pay for an account is stupid any way you slice it. Nintendo's method is just to get out of any potential lawsuit from dumbass parents. Doesnt make it okay though.

With that 50 cents a kid can play online but a kid would need to pay/get mummy or daddy to pay $50 to play online on XBL?

At least Steam remembers that I'm 112 years old now!

Meelow said:

It should have been nothing. A temporary credit card charge would suffice.

You know, it's OK to like a company and still disagree with some of the stupid stuff it does.

Thats money that could be going to my snickers fund.

It's 50 cents, if you can afford a Wii U then you can pay 50 cents for this, and I'd say the same for Sony and Microsoft.

Take a picture of the screen so we can see what you're talking about.

Starwolf_UK · Dec 1, 2012

11PM...but thats past my bedtime.

I wonder if its something on the 3DS eShop interpretation of the NNID. Assuming both eShops share content yet the Wii U has adult and child accounts maybe it means all 3DS count as child accounts due to have no such system...wait does that mean kid accounts on Wii U can watch 18 rated trailers provided its past 11PM?
