Nintendo’s Planned Maintenance May Make Several Services Temporarily Unavailable Today
Nintendo has announced its server maintenance schedule for the next few days and today (13th March) is set to be a big one.
The maintenance officially began earlier on this morning (or yesterday, if you are in North America) with Nintendo working on the save data cloud for Nintendo Switch Online services. This level of tweaking is set to continue across several of the company’s other servers over the next 24 hours, with the risk that these may become temporarily unavailable while the work is taking place (thanks, Nintendo Everything).
Most of the maintenance is planned for later on tonight in NA and the early hours of tomorrow morning in Europe. The full maintenance schedule was published by Nintendo, and you can check out all of the coming tweaks (and potential downtime) in the list below:
