We’ve previously talked about the IARC rating system and how it would be extremely beneficial for eShop developers as well as gamers in general. Thanks to what it provides, anyone can easily submit their title and have it rated in various regions.

We recently heard that the IARC rating system would be coming very soon to the eShop. And interestingly, it looks like this has now happened. Information coming from a pair of independent developers reveal that the system is up and running for Nindies. We probably won’t see any immediate results, but developers are now starting to take advantage of what the IARC provides.

Nintendo’s various shops are undergoing some heavy maintenance in just a few days. This will begin Sunday evening for those of you in North America and in the very early morning on Monday over in Europe. The Wii U and 3DS eShops, Wii Shopping Channel, and DSi Shop will be affected.

The upcoming maintenance is particularly notable due to its length. It seems that the maintenance period will last nearly an entire day.

Here’s the full breakdown of times:

– 7 PM PT (Sunday) – 7 PM PT (Monday)
– 10 PM ET (Sunday) – 10 PM ET (Monday)
– 3 AM in the UK (Monday) – 3 AM in the UK (Tuesday)
– 4 AM in Europe (Monday) – 4 AM in Europe (Tuesday)

As for the reasoning behind the downtime, Nintendo says that it’s planning a large-scale exchange of servers. It’s also possible that the maintenance will end a bit early, though you should definitely expect it to take awhile!

RCMADIAX has three titles up on the European Wii U eShop: Blok Drop U, Blok Drop X Twisted Fusion, and Tabletop Gallery. However, there are several more that have only been launched in North America.

This will be changing sometime next year. Because of “recent developments among the worlds leading age ratings boards” leading to a less expensive and time-consuming process, the indie developer will be publishing its entire catalog of games in Europe as well as Australia by the end of Q2 2016.

The lineup includes:

– Super Robo Mouse
– Tap Tap Arcade (Includes Spikey Walls, Don’t Crash, and Pixel Slime U in a single package)
– Touch Selections [working title] (Includes Pentapuzzle, Avoider, and Peg Solitaire in a single package)

RCMADIAX also said today that it will be working with Nintendo of Europe to bring Blok Drop U, Blok Drop X Twisted Fusion, and Tabletop Gallery to a wider audience.
