Nintendo Comments on eShop Downtime as Services Return

The Nintendo eShop services are now back online and fully operational, said Nintendo in the latest status update.

The company apologised again for the inconsistency in the Nintendo Network and eShop services this week, noting how they "do not anticipate any further outages, but will continue to closely monitor the situation" in the coming days.

Earlier on Nintendo also explained why the services came to a halt this week as it was due to "an influx of new Nintendo Network accounts being created and accessing the Nintendo eShop" and existing 3DS accounts being transferred across to the new Nintendo Network.

Finally, news on the launch of both Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter will be confirmed "as soon as possible", Nintendo said in a follow-up Tweet.
