Wii U

Nintendo has updated its maintenance schedule for the following week, and several sessions are planned. Eight different listings have been added in, including My Nintendo – which is something we can’t recall seeing previously and could mean Nintendo is getting ready for the new functionality that will allow Switch owners to use Gold Points.

Here’s the full roundup of maintenance:

In Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the weather and environment around you are more important than ever before. Link goes up against some tough conditions, ranging from the blazing heat to frigid temperatures depending on your location. The weather is also a key element when scaling mountains. When it starts raining, you can bet that climbing will become much more difficult.

Giving players control of the weather was actually something the Zelda: Breath of the Wild team considered, according to Hidemaro Fujibayashi. The game’s director explained to Game Informer this month why it ultimately didn’t make sense in the end: it wouldn’t have been as fun and “would have increased the number of variables in the world.”

My Nintendo has updated with new rewards in both North America and Europe.

Stateside, users can obtain the Animal Crossing New Leaf: Colorful Pattern 3DS theme pictured above. It costs 20 Gold Points.

Over in Europe, several new discounts have been added. The full lineup is as follows:

Update (2/13): Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp maintenance is currently underway. Additionally, 3DS has been added to the maintenance schedule for later today, so it won’t just be Wii U.
