I’ve had a few emails and checked Twitter and it seems as though some people are having difficulty accessing the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. It seems to be working fine here in the UK, so presumably it’s those in the United States that appear to be having trouble with it. If you’ve been on Twitter you’ll know that Lizard Squad have taken responsibility for downing the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live, but they haven’t mentioned the Wii U or Nintendo 3DS eShop. Presumably it’s just a case of too many people being gifted Nintendo products.
Some Users Reporting That The Nintendo eShop Is Down

The Lizards should not mess with us or they’ll end up like the Reptilicus…
I SMASHED MY WIIU WITH ANGER AND AGRESSION ITS BROKEN NOW I THROW IT OUT MY BEDROOM WINDOW
If true, then you’re a fucking idiot. lol
I WENT TO PRISION IT WAS FUN I AM MARRIED NOW
your just a loser who would kill himself over the wiiu not getting many games
“Not getting many games” You mean the same ASSED games that are falsely advertised, hyped and broken at launch? Halo, Assassin’s Creed, Battlefield, Call of Duty with 3 wasted years of development time, DriverClub, Watchdogs, Destiny..sorry, 1/2 of Destiny at $60 and The Crew filled with buttload of paywalls and Microtransactions? I ain’t missing a thing from those POS skipping Wii U and in fact, I’m glad for that because 2014 has opened my eyes and learned 3rd rate parties are now nothing but fucking lying and lazy opportunists applying deception on the stupid to sell their lackluster garbage.

Piggy backing your comment, but it’s nothing wrong with any of the servers no hackers, it’s just Xmas and too much people home online playing games, plus all the new systems being updated whether it be ps4, x1, or wiiu…
FEAKING WIIU

Your comment is incredibly hypocritical
Fuck Lizard Squad

haveing a good time my arse
my winky hurts so much
my ARSE FEAKING HURTS
haveing a good time my arse vantetevens my arse babe my arse olivole my arse vengerly myarce crincley botom my arse preopelation my arse
Sony ought to do something about this
I hope it’s not Lizard Squad, but even it they are the ones, it’s DDOS and it’s recovered in time, altought I don’t know why they would want to attack Nintendo, since they are going through some shitty situations with their products :'(
It’s only affecting American users.
Im American and i don’t have problems. It must be ponies and bots making thigs up cuz they are butthurt.
Making things up? Xbox Live and PSN were attacked DDOS-style, not hacked, but their servers were filled with information force-fed by the so-called hackers. Xbox Live is back up, for the most part, and PSN is still having major issues. This was not made up.
have a great year you missrable fucking sode
Lmao you’re hilarious
Thank XD
american jesus
Miiverse is having problems as well.

Same here.
im having no problems with both wii u and 3ds though the 3ds has trouble connecting through comcast shitty internet and its only the 3ds, browser works fine but when i want to download dlc or themes it has a difficult time and im in the usa
Its down for me in MN
It is down of the millions if new members who got a Wii U for Christmas… ;-P
*of
I’m currently downloading Fairune off the eShop… Its all good for me in Chicago Illinois.
Everything is fine with Ireland :-)
It was down a few hours ago but it’s working fine for me now. I can now download the Crunchyroll App and Shantae!
This happened last year remember
Playing smash on 3DS right now in the southern states. No issues. Kickin some Asian ass atm : ).
Oh gawd… Its baaaaack….
IF NINTENDO does not do a big nintendo direct this JANUARY you can fuck E3 UP WRIGHT NOW?
WIIU DISCONTINUED BEFORE NEXT E3
THE WIIU WILL BE DEAD BY JUNE
How the fuck the Wii U will be dead by June? You’re denying the fact that there will be more Wii U games to come next year and beyond (Devil’s Third, Splatoon, Project CARS, FAST Racing Neo, Star Fox U, Yoshi’s Woolly World, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, a new Trine game, Xenoblade Chronicles X in 2015 and The Legend of Zelda U in 2016). The same goes to 3DS and the New Nintendo 3DS next year.
Lawl at sucking up to the troll
WIIU GOT NO GAMES
I notice Miiverse is slower then usual but aside from that… nothing.
LINK LISTEN THE WIIU HAS FAILED AS A CONSOLE BECAUSE NINTENDO HAS NOT PLANNED A NINTENDO DIRECT FOR NEXT YEAR TO SHOW NEW GAMES
It’s called a “surprise”
Ever heard of it.
I DONT WANT A SUPRISE AT E3 TIME
FUCK E3 DIPSHIT
THE WIIU IS A PIECE OF SHIT DEAL WITH IT
KIILED JESUS YA YA
I almost thought that we would be in the clear this year as I thought Nintendo would have upgraded their servers for more user traffic after last year’s outage.
WIIU HARDLY NEXTGEN
So does PS4 and Xbox DONE. All of them are current gen.
Don’t feed the spammer you asshole
XBOX ONE IS NEXT GEN AND SO IS PS4
If only they could’ve known that Christmas fell on a Thursday the same day the eShop is updated… If only they could’ve foretold that new Wii U and 3DS owners would want to make NNID, if only they could’ve known that they would have more traffic than they’ve previously gotten..
If only…. Oh hey look, my Club Nintendo Calendar just arrived in the mail today.
On a seriously note, if people are really having trouble getting online then its only Nintendo’s fault, this is Christmas on an eShop update date.
How the fuck is Nintendo’s fault when the reality is all Sony and Microsoft’s fault.
*whoosh*
How is it any of those companies’ fault? All servers are susceptible to high traffic spikes, in fact Nintendo is even MORE vulnerable to it. Don’t be a stupid fanboy
Lizard Squad took no credit on the eShop “situation.” So as far as we know Nintendo wasn’t DDOS’s like MS and SONY were.
All I’m saying is that since Ninty wasn’t DDOS’s then the reason people are having issues getting online is due to the high traffic. albeit NEW owners trying to get online for whatever reason and old users trying to access the eShop because it was updated that day.
This happens last year and the year before that, you would think a company like Nintendo wouldn’t let that mistake happen… Again.
Just got on, but been having problems. Probably just overloaded
That’s what he said XD
All well in the US of A
A little off topic, but does downloading Retail Games count towards weekly sales numbers??? I just downloaded Smash Bros for Wii U, so just curious…
Depends, I know Media Crate (Japan) doesnt track those numbers, but the NPD (North America) does.
What About The U.K???
I’m not sure, you could ask Sickr on Twitter since he seems to get those numbers weekly/monthly (One of the two.)
JESUS IS YOUR DEAD FRIEND HAHAHAHA
Real fact: I did know a Jesus that died, he wasn’t my “friend” but he was some one I talked to.
How’d you know anon?
That wasn’t the answer I was looking for -_-
THE WIIU HAS FAILED BECAUSE NINTENDO HAS NOT PLANNED THE NEXT NINTENDO DIRECT
Your life has failed because you’re screaming like a retard. Nintendo will make a Nintendo Direct in THEIR term… not yours.
Your life has failed because you’re retarded enough to bite the troll’s bait
WIIU IS BORING
Your fucked up life is boring.
Your comments are boring as fuck
Lmao!
WIIU IS GOING TO BE DISCONTINUED SOON BECAUSE NINTENDO HAS NOT SAID WHY IT SHOULD BE SUPPORTED
Wii U will never discontinue until 2022… two years after their new system is launched.
Are you nuts?? The Wii U having a 9 year lifespan? The average lifespan of a console is 5 years you ignorant prick
WIIU DEAD
Anonymous FUCKING DEAD
He won’t be dead if you keep replying turdface.

Maybe they’ve disabled it in light of Lizard Squad’s hack threats that could potentially target Nintendo next and update its security and maintenance. If its only affecting a few users, then its likely Nintendo’s doing by taking precautions, not Lizard Squad.
wiiu smashed lad i did it no respect for nintendo fucking ips
Goddamn, fat ass… your troll skills are lacking more than a fucking porn star.
His troll skills must be pretty solid if he managed to make you keep eating his bait… LOL
That’s the dumbest fucking theory I’ve ever read
Not really. You’re perhaps the dumbest fucking theory of a “logical commenter” yet.
Think about it: It’s only several hundred to a thousand who are having connection issues which means one of two things that is not related to Lizard Squad’s hacking: Either their connection sucks and should check it and their internet provider or Nintendo has undergo maintenance period to ensure the hacking won’t happen to their consumers/gamers either.
If they’re undergoing maintenance they would obviously make an official report
Or when the message displays from the console itself. Ever thought of that.
So where’s the message?
The problem isn’t effecting me and most likely you as well IF you even own a Wii U. So how would I suppose to know if it’s still happening now or it’s been resolved?
Lol N Dub Nation is such a retard liking all your comments like a sheep to Shepard

PS4 IS NEXT GEN
I wonder if this is going to be last year all over again…..it started with some outages on christmas day and then way more on boxing day……then it lasted for almost 3 weeks….have the US Eshop servers really not been updated for this kind of flux after that disaster?
