NintendoÔÇÖs various shops are undergoing some heavy maintenance in just a few days. This will begin Sunday evening for those of you in North America and in the very early morning on Monday over in Europe. The Wii U and 3DS eShops, Wii Shopping Channel, and DSi Shop will be affected.

The upcoming maintenance is particularly notable due to its length. It seems that the maintenance period will last nearly an entire day.

HereÔÇÖs the full breakdown of times:

ÔÇô 7 PM PT (Sunday) ÔÇô 7 PM PT (Monday)
ÔÇô 10 PM ET (Sunday) ÔÇô 10 PM ET (Monday)
ÔÇô 3 AM in the UK (Monday) ÔÇô 3 AM in the UK (Tuesday)
ÔÇô 4 AM in Europe (Monday) ÔÇô 4 AM in Europe (Tuesday)

As for the reasoning behind the downtime, Nintendo says that itÔÇÖs planning a large-scale exchange of servers. ItÔÇÖs also possible that the maintenance will end a bit early, though you should definitely expect it to take awhile!
