Nintendo eShop temporarily offline

We sincerely apologise for the connection problems in the Nintendo eShop. We understand this is taking longer than expected, but we can assure you that providing a solution is our top priority. We are determined to make sure everyone can enjoy all that Wii U and Nintendo 3DS have to offer. In an effort to manage the high volume of traffic and ultimately improve your experience, we are temporarily taking the Nintendo eShop services offline between the hours of 11 p.m. and 11 a.m. (South Africa). Thank you so much for your continued patience. We will keep you updated.

Please be aware that during this time period you will be unable to transfer data between different Nintendo 3DS hardware as well as being unable to download update data for your Nintendo 3DS software.
