Some really interesting maintenance just showed up for Monday. At first glance, it looked like standard eShop maintenance, but then I realized that under Wii U and 3DS, it also said "All". Update(s) incoming?

I thing you got the date wrong for the US.

Or does it really take 28 hours there, while it will take 4 hours everywhere else?

Nah, maintenance is the same for everyone (only exception being titles not launched in a given region, obviously). Thanks for the heads up, saw the mistake on my website but forgot to correct it here!

Adding Devil's Third maintenance, as it's lasting 1h longer this time around... not sure why.

Wii U: Devil’s Third (online play, leaderboards)

This maintenance will take place on:

– Europe: October 20th (2AM to 6AM)
– UK: October 20th (1AM to 5AM)
– North America (EDT): October 19th (8PM to October 20th (12AM)
– North America (PDT): October 19th (5PM to 9PM)
– Japan: October 6th (9AM to 1PM)

So the Monday maintenance changed slightly. Instead of saying "All" it now says, "Using Nintendo Network ID". Probably effectively the same thing, seeing as you need to log in to do anything on Nintendo Network anyway, but now it's more specific.

Also, there's now a bunch of random maintenance that's starting in a couple hours.

"General maintenance" changed to "Using Nintendo Network ID" (need another sign, maybe? ;)).

Also, surprise maintenance for today. I guess next week's maintenance is too important so Nintendo is taking care of that today...

This is a weird name for maintenance :D

2 hour maintenance means 2 hour direct?
more like 37 minutes :p

There will not be a Direct at this time... seems highly unlikely.

It's not listed on the maintenance page yet, but Splatoon is getting maintenance next week (for obvious reasons).

Wii U: Splatoon

The maintenance will take place on:

Europe: October 21st (2.50AM to 4AM)
UK: October 21st (1.50AM to 3AM)
North America (EDT): October 20th (8.50PM to 10PM)
North America (PDT): October 20th (5.50PM to 7PM)

If you're referring to Monday, a few hours before the big maintenance happens, I could see that happen. Heck, next Splatoon update happens a few hours after the big maintenance too.

General question: when a game undergoes "maintenance," what exactly is happening? Should users ever notice any differences?

It depends on the game and the maintenance.

Maintenance for a game is always for online, which means that online services (online play, leaderboards) cannot be used during that time.

If it's a single game maintenance (like Splatoon in the OP right now), then all online services will be unavailable.
If it's weekly maintenance, then the online services will be unavailable intermittently during the set period.


Also, yet another maintenance coming... going to add it to the list in a few minutes.

Online portions are usually taken offline while they do whatever it is they need to do (I assume a restart of everything).

A maintenance that lasts THAT long though... it's almost like they're adding a new account system or something :p

Edit: huh, NNID maintenance planned, too. http://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-shop-maintenance-planned-for-monday/

The lack of a direct this week is nuts. So much stuff POSSIBLY going on and nothing but radio silence.

Ok, for some reason, the Nintendo eShop (+ Wii Shop Channel and DSi Shop) maintenance has been cancelled. All the others are unchanged.

Very interesting. The eShop being listed was arguably redundant, but not the Wii Shop Channel or DSi Shop. I wonder what implications this may have.

Less than four hours until the big maintenance thing starts. Are we expecting to learn what's happened at all or will it probably be the end of the week with the Splatoon update / Tri Force Heroes release?

If there are any related system updates, they are usually posted as the maintenance is ending.

Also, the Splatoon update is it's own thing which has separate maintenance tomorrow. That will be released around 10PM ET (You'll probably be able to download the Splatoon patch during the maintenance, but the you'll still be stuck offline until it's over).

It's hard to say since there's a few different ways they could go about making the transition to the new account system and launching it.

It wouldn't shock me for there to be a system update tonight and we get all that information (with an announcement of Nintendo's mobile game shortly thereafter), and it wouldn't shock me if we have to wait a couple weeks for anything to happen.

It looks like Nintendo Network ID maintenance has been canceled too? It was supposed to go for an hour or 2, unless they finished really early?

It should have just started, it was starting at 21:00 GMT. Maybe they removed the info because it's already happening?

Perhaps, but wouldn't the statuses change from "Service is operating normally?" I can't check my wii u right now.

Okay, I just tried signing into the eShop and it still works, along with my account. So it either finished super early or they did cancel.

What if it was actually just rolled into the generic "online services" maintenance that's supposed to start in like 8 minutes? I thought it was odd before how this was just the other maintenance period offeset by an hour.

We're so desperate for news we're actually asking Nintendo to do maintenance on their services in hope that SOMETHING comes out of this.
