Huge Nintendo Network ID maintenance taking place October 20th
During the morning of October 20th Nintendo will taking all of the Nintendo Network ID services offline for maintenance. Now Nintendo do online service maintenance but taking down all of the Nintendo Network ID services is pretty heavy.
We normally never report on such maintanence, it happens all the time. However, with all the scuttlebutt around at the moment regarding Nintendo’s mobile game, Splatoon upgrades, Club Nintendo’s closure and replacement – we think something is up.
Here’s the official times from Nintendo Australia, this is for AEDT.

The same day as the Splatoon update.
I hope we get the replacement for Club Nintendo soon! I’ve been dying to play Flipnote Studio 3D!
This is interesting, what is happening with Nintendo.
These events, large maintenance fixes/updates usually only impact the eshop, not the rest and they are usually preceded by a Nintendo Direct, which might mean we get something announced tomorrow.. of course, it could be just because they want to and for no other reason than that.
Still it is interesting.
I hope we get some more Wii Games especially Zelda Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. I and dying to play them both again.
