Switch: the Nintendo eShop is out of order for Christmas
It’s Christmas, several people have received a Switch… and they cannot download games from Nintendo eShop because it is down. Indeed, Nintendo seems to have badly anticipated the sudden influx.
Nintendo eShop breaks down on Christmas Day
On Twitter, Nintendo admits that there is an outage with its eShop on Switch. The group does not go into details and just say: “We are aware that players are experiencing errors accessing Nintendo eShop and are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible. We thank you for your understanding and invite you to check our network status page for the latest updates ”.

The page in question is available at this address. It also does not allow for details. “Our network services are having some problems. Please retry later. We apologize for any inconvenience », can we read.
So you got it: you can’t download games right now! If you have games in physical format (with the cartridge), now is the time to use them while waiting for the failure to resolve. Nintendo does not give an estimate for a return to normal.
Regarding the PlayStation Network (PSN) and the servers on Xbox, everything is going well according to Sony and Microsoft.
