Post by: Shaymin on June 19, 2015, 01:21:10 PM

Sunday night in North America, but all day Monday in Japan.

The tail end of the weekend for North America will see some hefty Wii U and 3DS online maintenance.

Nintendo's network status page has updated to indicate major online maintenance starting at 6 p.m. Pacific time (9 p.m. Eastern) on Sunday evening, which will last until 4 a.m. Pacific/7 a.m. Eastern Monday morning. A follow up maintenance will occur from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Monday afternoon. During these times, "online play, leaderboards, etc" will be unavailable across the Nintendo Network worldwide.

As of yet, there is no word on whether or not the eShop will be affected, nor if a major firmware update could follow this as the second maintenance would end around the time new firmware has traditionally become available.

The new system update will make you have to scan an amiibo to load up a game.

The new system update will turn us all into amiibos and we will have to place the sensor in our wrist onto the reader. We will all undergo forced implanting as our skin is ripped off and our bones replaced by wires and our fluids drained and hundreds of squid allowed to crawl into our bodies and spread their tentacles across our veins and we squirt fluid all over the operating table and twitch and shake and moan and the doctor will yell "we are losing the patient!" as our face explodes squid internals all over the operating room and our remains scooped into an ice tray and frozen and used to cool the drinks of tentacle-headed monsters that sit behind great desks and push buttons that seal our fates

Maybe they'll finally let us use the gamepad as a classic controller in Wii mode

So was this yesterday or today? I was able to play Splatoon all through the night last night, and looking at the network maintenance page it shows major downtimes planned for tonight.
