Nintendo Network Server Maintenance Causing Extended Downtime Tomorrow
The Nintendo Network goes down for planned maintenance every week, but this week the downtime is longer and effects more Nintendo online services.
From 8 AM Pacific Time on Monday September 30 to 5 AM Pacific Time, online multiplayer, online rankings, private messages, friend requests, blocked-user lists, and other services will be down or sporadically available.
For more on the down the planned downtime, you can check out Nintendo's website, or this official Miiverse posting.
Our Take
The Internet rumblings surrounding the downtime presume preparations for larger firmware updates soon coming to Wii U and 3DS. This seems very likely, but Nintendo hasn't confirmed any dates for upcoming updates.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
