Nintendo has announced the server maintenance schedule for the next few days, and today (March 13th) should be a big one.
Maintenance officially began this morning (or yesterday if you’re in North America) as Nintendo works on cloud storage for Nintendo Switch Online services. This level of customization will continue on several other company servers for the next 24 hours with the risk that they may become temporarily unavailable during operation (thanks Nintendo Everything).
Most of the maintenance is scheduled for late evening in NA and tomorrow morning in Europe. The full maintenance schedule has been published Nintendoand you can check out all the upcoming setups (and potential downtime) in the list below:
