A number of users have contacted me to say that they are having problems accessing the Nintendo eShop on the Nintendo 3DS, 2DS and the Wii U. This issue has probably arisen due to the influx of people receiving Nintendo hardware for Christmas and overwhelming the servers when trying to do a system update and connect to the eShop. Sony’s PSN has also reportedly been temperamental today too, so it’s not just Nintendo that has been affected by Christmas. Have you encountered issues today?
