The latest round of Nintendo maintenance will be taking place on Thursday. According to a page on the company’s website, the Wii U and 3DS eShops are both expected to be affected. The maintenance period will take place between 1 PM PT and 5 PM PT.
It’s also worth mentioning that Pokemon X and Pokemon Y will be seeing their own round of downtime. Maintenance for the two games is set to occur at 5 PM PT on Monday, lasting through 7 AM PT the following day. Online play, rankings, and other online elements may be affected.
RCMADIAX just released its first Wii U eShop game – BLOK DROP U – on Thursday. But as we’ve known, the indie developer also has more titles in the works such as Super Robo Mouse.
Earlier today, RCMADIAX shared a new screenshot from the game on Twitter. The developer also confirmed plans for a tentative June launch.

Robot Knight has shown some interest in releasing Wind-up Knight on Wii U and 3DS.
One fan asked the studio on Twitter if it has any plans to release the game on Nintendo’s platforms. Robot Knight would “love to do it,” though no commitment was made.
Robot Knight’s tweet in full:
@AlwaysNinty Every one of us has shipped games for various Nintendo platforms, and we'd love to do it. Maybe someday!
