The Wii U and 3DS eShops will both be affected by maintenance tomorrow. Between 4 PM and 6 PM ET (1 PM and 3 PM PT), users will be unable to access the two stores.

Also, we should mention that the June 1 maintenance that had previously been scheduled is no longer planned – at least as far as we know. It’s no longer listed on Nintendo’s maintenance page.

A new report from Nintendo Life paints a concerning picture about the state of indies in Germany. The site claims that “over the past months there have been secret European developer meetings to discuss the current state of the eShop.” The big takeaway is that “larger download publishers are starting to drop Germany because they are not able to recoup the cost of earning a USK rating”.

Unfortunately, that isn’t all. The article also mentions that many indies are facing issues selling 3,000 copies of their game o nthe eShop. Because of this, “many are dropping support for Nintendo’s consoles.”
