The online shops of all four Nintendo systems will be affected.

Nintendo's online services will undergo an extended period of maintenance from 1-7pm PST (3-9pm EST) today.

During this period, the Wii U eShop, 3DS eShop, Wii Shop Channel and DSi Shop will all only be available in a limited capacity or inaccessible entirely.

This maintenance occurs in preparation for the major Wii U system update on April 23, which will improve the firmware's overall performance and add the Virtual Console to the eShop.

Come on gifting and unified account

I now know how much I want the VC on Wii U. I read this... and my reaction could be likened to a seal with brain damage.

Not the best time for maintenance. I wanted to download the rayman challenges, but now I have to wait.


Oh well.

I doubt we will be getting an unified account until the Miiverse and Nintendo Network IDs comes to Smart Phones and 3DS. That might be what the August update will bring.
