Update: All services have been restored. Downtime was at least three hours.


Original: All of Nintendo’s platforms are currently experiencing online issues. The company has confirmed that Switch, 3DS, and Wii U network services are down.

If you’re having trouble connecting with friends in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, now you know why. This also extends to the eShops and other services.

Here’s the current status update:

The Elder Scrolls: Blades

We first found out that Bethesda would be bringing The Elder Scrolls: Blades at last year’s E3. But back in November, it was announced a delay that pushed the game to early 2020. We’re almost midway through the year without any sort of update, but Blades may finally be releasing on Switch next week.

The primary piece of information concerns what was included in this week’s Nintendo Download report. It seems to have gone under the radar, but The Elder Scrolls: Blades was actually listed for launch on May 12. We can also confirm that it was briefly listed for that same day on the official Nintendo UK page.

Nintendo has posted a new “Play Together” commercial to promote Switch and its games. Take a look at the advert below.
