Nintendo has announced their server maintenance schedule for the next few days, and today (March 13th) should be a big one.
Maintenance officially began earlier this morning (or yesterday, if you’re in North America) as Nintendo works on cloud storage for Nintendo Switch Online services. This level of tweaking should continue on several other company servers over the next 24 hours, with the risk of them becoming temporarily unavailable while the work takes place (thanks, Nintendo Everything).
Most of the maintenance is planned for later tonight in NA and early morning in Europe. The full maintenance schedule has been announced Nintendoand you can check out all the upcoming tweaks (and potential downtime) in the list below:
