Are you unable to connect to the Wii U or 3DS eShops? There’s a reason for that. Nintendo’s maintenance page states that users may encounter issues loading the shops due to heavy traffic.

The Pokemon Sun/Moon demo just made its way to Australia and Japan, so that’s likely the cause here. Additional issues may pop up tomorrow once North America and Europe have access to it as well.
