@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

@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.
