Nintendo’s online services experiencing troubles over Christmas

Affecting the Wii U, 3DS and even the DSi and Wii.

Nintendo’s online services, including the Nintendo Network, the Nintendo eShop and even online play and rankings have been suffering downtime over this festive season. Since early morning Christmas Day in North America the above services have been down for the Wii U and the 3DS and the DSi and Wii soon followed.

Nintendo is aware of the issues and they’re solely due to the large number of new Wii U and 3DS owners attempting to buy games, redeem codes, download system updates and basically do anything required online with a Nintendo console.

Not the best experience for brand new Wii U and 3DS owners. You can keep track of the all the issues via Nintendo’s status page.

Anyone had issues locally? Patience will be key.
