Update: Service restored – Nintendo’s online services experiencing some issues at the moment

Update: It took a few hours, but everything is now back up and running!

It seems like some of Nintendo’s online services are experiencing difficulties right now. Specifically, logging into games with your Nintendo Network ID doesn’t seem to work at the moment. Unfortunately, this means that games that require you to do that, such as Nintendo Badge Arcade, can’t be played at all at the moment.

Nintendo has acknowledged the problem on both their European and Japanese Twitter accounts, so it seems to be a global problem. They are hoping to resolve the issues as soon as possible.
