A head’s up to all Nintendo fans, as Nintendo is currently dealing with an outage situation on Switch with all network services are currently impacted such as Switch Online. The issues began at around 7:30 AM PT / 10:30 AM ET / 3:30 PM in the UK / 4:30 PM in Europe and it is not currently clear when service will be fully restored. Nintendo’s site just states, “We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”
It seems that the issues are due to an outage on Amazon Web Services’ us-east-1 cloud region, as other games, websites, and services have also been impacted. A statement notes that the company has “identified root cause and we are actively working towards recovery”. These outages do not tend to last long, though it has already been a few hours.

Update: The issues have been resolved
