With many nations currently advising citizens to practice social distancing and work at home where possible in a bid to limit the spread of COVID-19, online entertainment networks including gaming services are experiencing a surge in usage.

All of Nintendo’s network services, including eShop, appear to be down worldwide – at the time of publication they’re unavailable in Japan, the US and Europe. VGC has contacted Nintendo for comment.

“Unable to connect to the network service,” reads the US online service status page. “Please try again later. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”

I guess that's why downloading was suuuuuuuper slow yesterday. Glad I got Tokyo Mirage Sessions downloaded when I did.

Considering Nintendo's history with online, I was impressed they stayed up this long in light of everyone staying inside world wide.
