So, looks like I was right : eShop is still going down during the night.

Once again today we will temporarily close the European 3DS eShop between 10 pm and 10 am CET. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Looks like it's only for the 3DS eShop, though.

Incidents

Acess to the 3DS eShop is still unavailable during the following period :

- Europe : from 10PM to 10AM
- UK : from 9PM to 9AM
- USA (East Coast) : from 7PM to 7AM
- USA (West Coast) : from 4PM to to 4AM.
- Japan : from 6PM to 6AM.

The Nintendo eShop is now available on all systems.

We do not anticipate any further outages, but will continue to closely monitor the situation.

We sincerely apologize for this week's inconsistencies and thank you again for your patience and support.

We will share more information about the launch of Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter as soon as possible.

Looks like it's finally over. Time for this thread to go back to the unknown depths of GAF :p
 
I can't use anything internet wise on the Wii U except for the browser. The European site says everything is all clear but I keep getting different errors constantly for the eShop, Miiverse and system updates. I've done a connection test numerous times and it's saying it's fine so I don't know what the problem is.

Huh? Where does that come from? It's not mentionned on the official maintenance page. Looks like the usual monthly maintenance to me.

Well, I know things can take a little while to show up on your Club Nintendo account. If there's still nothing by monday, just send a message to customer support :

- explain carefully and precisely what your problem is
- include a proof of purchase
- include a pic of the box, the bottom part with the serial code
- include any information you might find useful

If there's a problem, they'll be able to check everything that needs to be checked with the info you provided. Hope you'll get your stars :)

Just to follow up on this: my console did show up on my registered products eventually. Things went a lot smoother with the 3DS + free Mario 3D Land (that was a great promotion for new DS owners).

I called Nintendo before noticing the WiiU survey, and they said everything was a bit bonkers after the xmas downtime.

But I don't know why I bothered: the offerings on the EU (Benelux) star catalog are abysmal. No idea what I'm saving for :p

Yeah, you're right, thanks for the info. For some reason, they didn't add this to the maintenace page until yesterday. Weird.

Yeah, I knew the servers would be all weirded out during the holidays. As for the star catalog, there's usually some cool stuff every now and then, though it's generally better to keep your expectations low if you're expecting OST and such :p

Noticed the blue light on my 3DS, switched it on and it told me there is a system update. Considered ignoring it for a bit but I decided to get it now any way. The update took the blink of an eye to download and pretty much just asked me to restart my system straight away. I wonder what it did. Probably added some reinforcements to the region locking shit knowing my luck.

Nintendo direct incoming? I want to believe.

I doubt it, there's never been maintenance before a Direct, except for Wii Sports Club last time, but the time was right during the Direct. I doubt there'll be a Direct at 7AM GMT+1 this Tuesday (I wish, though :p).

Update is really minor (version # just went from 7.1.0-14 to 7.1.0-15), so nothing really. Probably some minor bug fixes or something.

I am under the impression there has been a lot of maintenance lately, am I wrong? Coupled with a relative silence from Nintendo these pas weeks, I feel something is cooking up...
Well, I shouldn't get my hopes up... Perhaps,is it just the preparation for the GBA games on WiiU...
