Does this possibly mean anything? Cause that's two months on the dot from the last direct.

This type of maintenance is typically just routine tasks. I can't think of any cases where it's been indicative of anything.

More suspicious XCX maintenance that will amount to nothing again.

Heard some mild scuttlebutt that there may be a stability update for 3DS soon to break the new downgrade exploit

 

[L~A]

Hmmmm.... Looks like Miiverse is encountering some problems right now.

 

[Pokemaniac]

Heard some mild scuttlebutt that there may be a stability update for 3DS soon to break the new downgrade exploit

To be fair, pretty much anyone could predict that this is coming. It's a matter of when, not if.

NNID maintenance is interesting. Last time it was scheduled, it was canceled before it began. I wonder if they might be rolling out Nintendo Accounts worldwide.

Tried to buy Yoshi. Now gotta update. Tried to update. Now can't connect.

Looks like I'll wait for a sale.

Probably means nothing for now right?

 

[Pokemaniac]

Probably means nothing for now right?

The Super Mario Maker Bookmark thing is probably just routine maintenance. The NNID maintenance, however, is pretty unusual (as in, has basically never happened before), so there's a chance that that may result in something.

 

[n64coder]

Probably means nothing for now right?

There's speculation over at GameFAQs that the Pokemon Picross maintenance might be to block the recent "picrites farming" hack.

[Deleted member 465307]

It feels like the amount of maintenance that has been happening that is not game-specific and instead services like the eShop or NNID has been increasing in recent months. Am I imagining this?

There actually hasn't been much eShop maintenance for the past month or so.

What you're probably noticing is that they stopped bothering to list games individually when it affects a whole bunch of things, and started just writing certain network services instead.

That stuff's been at least partially implemented for a while. The 3DS eShop got some new URLs related to that months ago.

 

[RedSwirl]

So the Wii Shop is just under maintenance right? It's not down permanently?

I ask because I'm just now about to do the Wii-Wii U transfer thing and still need to get the transfer app on the Wii.

Yes, it's only under maintenance. The Wii Shop Channel and DSi Shop actually share a significant piece of their backend (the Nintendo Update Servers) with the eShop.
