Goldeneye 007 for N64 no longer "banned" in germany after active involvement from Nintendo

Goldeneye 007 has been taken from the german BPjM list of "Media Harmful to Young Persons" which heavily restricted its sales in germany.

This review process happens automatically after 25 years but in this case, the review has been actively requested prior to that date (by one of Nintendo's european partners which in this case probably acts as a proxy).

Such a request doesn't come for free and usually you woudn't do it unless you plan something with your media.
