Is Nintendo eShop down?

[TiffaniMichele]

I've been trying to connect to the eShop now for a half an hour and I keep getting error code 005-4270. I've checked my internet settings and it's connecting fine via the browser. My system is completely updated. I have restarted the device but it's still not working.

Now the only thing I can think of is that the network is down, but the Nintendo site says it's up and working.. are you guys having problems connecting via your 3DS?

Please let me know if you are, or if you have any more suggestions to help me connect! Thanks!

** And I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong thread, I'm still new and haven't used a forum in forever!**

I think it might be updating? Idk, something about the e-shop and more spotpass content being added in the recent update.

If you cannot connect to it, then yes.. it is down. Probably has something to do with this most recent update.

I just wanted to see if anyone else was having issues and it wasn't my device.

And it's working now! Slow, but at least I'm connecting! Thanks for the replies!!

Not surprising, given the time of year.

Could also be the mass hysteria with Pokemon Bank in Japan? Maybe?

No jirachis in GTS yet...

Because pokebank hasn't arrived outside Japan yet, and even if jirachi's do start appearing on the GTS; people are going to want pokemon you won't be willing to part with.

Pok?mon Bank won't be in the US anytime soon . Hacks got through, so Nintendo took it down from the Japanese eshop.

Hopefully Nintendo will make up for it in some way for those of us patiently waiting.

Miiverse has turned into a mob of angry people complaining about the eShop.

Don't blame them. But at least Nintendo is trying to do something about it. There's A LOT of folks on it at once, so it's bound to bog the servers down.

What did they expect though

It's definitely down. I can't download Wind Waker or AC Plaza on my WiiU, unfortunately. It's been down since at least 1 PM yesterday, at least for me.

 

[Lassy]

Sheesh. Why do seriously people hack ._. ?

 

[BellGreen]

I have played Wind Waker HD and stopped maybe fifteen minutes ago (PST for me) and it was working. I got Tingle Bottles and Miiverse was up. Not sure it'd work later.

Because they want to.

Ye filthy americans
here in UK eshop is workin' fine

I can't see anything but Nintendo talking about hacks. They said they removed it because of traffic not because of hacks?

Yeah, I don't see anything about hacks in that article. But hacks are going find a way into Gen 6 games eventually.
