People across the country are unpacking new Nintendo handhelds, managing their accounts, and trying to buy new digital games. But the last few hours Via social mediaThe Nintendo Switch storefront, known as the eShop, is on and off. Sometimes it loads even though it’s slow. Other times, you can’t reach the orange menu which is oddly slow to repurchase Mario Kart 8 Unfortunately the third time.
Under error code 2811-7429, the message you see after multiple loading issues simply indicates that the console cannot connect to the server and tells you to try again later. Kotaku I’ve reached out to Nintendo for more information about when users can expect the service. that The official server website saysWe are currently experiencing problems with our network services.
Most of this shouldn’t be heel annoying while enjoying the console. You can still play all the games you already own, you can’t buy new stuff, download DLC and the like. Granted, you also can’t redeem gift cards, which is likely to annoy anyone who received them as a gift this morning. Maybe that’s a lot of people, right? A lot of people uploading and re-uploading must have hoped that something would change this time… oh, that might be for a while.
But for people who can give gifts or buy physical toys, if those items aren’t downloaded before they’re packaged, you’re probably fine. Everyone: To be honest, something like this happens almost every year on at least one of the consoles or one of the big games. I know it’s annoying now and probably will be all day. Definitely cut off the server. Are you thinking of spending time with your family or something?
Or, if you like a good read: our advice for The best Nintendo Switch games, and Cream crop is now on sale by console. You know, when the shop came back.
