All over the country people are unpacking new Nintendo handhelds, managing their accounts and trying to buy new digital games. But the past few hours Via social mediaThe Nintendo Switch storefront, known as the eShop, was in and out of use. Sometimes it loads albeit slowly. Other times you can’t reach the strangely slow orange menus to buy back Mario Kart 8 The third time unfortunately.

Under the error code 2811-7429, the message you stare after some loading issues simply says the console can’t connect to the server and tells you to try again later. Kotaku I have contacted Nintendo for more information on when users can expect the service. the The official server website says onlineWe are currently experiencing issues with our network services.

For the most part this shouldn’t be heel disruptive when it comes to enjoying the console. You can still play all the games you already have, and you can’t buy new stuff, download DLC and the like. Granted, you can’t redeem gift cards either, which will probably be a nuisance to anyone who got them as gifts this morning. That’s probably a lot of people, right? A lot of people are uploading and reloading certainly hoping that something has changed this time… oh, maybe that’s for a while.

But for people who can give gifts or buy physical toys, if things aren’t pre-downloaded before packaging, you’ll probably be fine. Everyone else: Honestly stuff 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 for much of the day. Servers are definitely cut. You think to spend time with your family or something?

Or, if you like good reading: our suggestion for The best Nintendo Switch games, and the Cream Crop sales are now done by the console. You know, when the store comes back.
