Freedom for James Bond: Goldeneye 007 for the N64 is no longer indexed in Germany. Over 20 years ago he had landed on the list with which the Federal Center for Children s and Youth Media Protection wants to protect children and adolescents in Germany from exaggerated violence, desicination and refusal.

James Bond is back

Goldeneye 007 was indexed on 31.03.1998, the Federal Center for Children s and Youth Media Protection (until 2003 under the name Federal Testing Office for Youth Hazard Script (BPJs) or until April 2021 was known as the Federal Testing Office for Youth Hazardous Media (BPJM)).

At that time it was said that the ego shooter was simply suitable for the eyes of children and adolescents due to his explicit violence. The colleagues of Maniac cited the judgment in an article as follows: The applicant (...) requests the indexing because the content of the game is suitable for desorination children and adolescents. The game would have a single slaughter and Therefore, turn secondary to children and adolescents.

Since an indexing according to the Youth Protection Act is after 25 years, Goldeneye 007 would (now buy) 2023 flown anyway from the list. Therefore, the title has actively deleted, as is also writing section reports. It also states that Stadlbauer Marketing Vertriebs GmbH is responsible for the deletion. The toy entrepreneur is known mainly as a manufacturer of Carrera racetracks, but is also a distributor of Nintendo.

Is there any connection to the Nintendo Switch online service?

The assumption is obeless that the early deletion could be related to the Nintendo Switch online service. Finally, it was recently expanded to be able to play N64 and Sega Megadrive titles. Still, the selection with nine games is rather manageable, but more were already announced.

In addition, a DataMiner has already brought further upcoming games to daylight. Although Goldeneye 007 was not there, but of course it has not yet mean. Currently fans are more concerned with the new Switch online expansion. The service suffers from input-lags and sound problems.
