@NintendoAmerica Added gift card to eShop, paid for NSO + Expansion Pass (1 yr), got confirmation, received error. NSO plan now showing it expires today (12.25.21), no Exp Pass, gift card funds gone, Customer Support closed. Anyone have any ideas on what to do?

@dylandawes @Crazy_Gamer_0 @NintendoAmerica As someone who's faced this issue first hand on the field as well, no, it's absolutely not. Try convincing corporate to spend money to cover a 10x spike in traffic that you then have to buy the equipment for, set up, deploy, and then it's useless after the fact in a few days.

It would simply not be a Christmas Day without the eShop having problems. So common a tradition that Nintendo is apparently not bothering to ensure that it doesn’t happen again during future holiday seasons.

@NintendoUK I'm getting the error code 2813-9294 code not recognized when I try to use an eshop card to add funds. Does this mean I've got a dud code and I've wasted my money or is it a problem at your end? Thank you

As I was thinking this, Nintendo tweets about eShop network issues 🤪

@NintendoAmerica Not a problem. But please let this be an example you remember for why cloud gaming and not being able to buy and fully own digital games ; is a bad idea.

@KaamiKatayama @PassTheMic11 @NintendoAmerica Your original tweet (and Nintendo's" was talking about the eshop. I imagine their NSO service is tied to the same servers. Maybe I'm missing something but I don't think what I said was inaccurate?

@TechnicalJim @videogamedeals There was initially some trouble getting it on Nintendo Switch from what I heard but another publisher stepped in and got it on the system.
