The outage is impacting everything from the Nintendo eShop to online play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On December 8, 12:35 a.m. (JST) Nintendo alerted users of a network outage that appears to affect the entire Nintendo Switch network service and predicts that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/consumer\/network\/en_na\/network_status.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">it could take some time<\/a> before the issue is resolved. The outage also includes the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops. As of this writing (December 8, 9:37 a.m. JST) service has still not been restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The outage appears to be related to an <a href=\"https:\/\/status.aws.amazon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon Web Services (AWS) issue<\/a> taking place at an Amazon Cloud Directory in the Northern Virginia region. AWS is a cloud computing platform from Amazon that provides a number of services revolving around IT infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nintendo Switch Online\u2019s network functionality is provided through AWS. Through the introduction of AWS, they say the service will be more easily scalable and flexible to meet increased demands (<a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/jp\/about-aws\/whats-new\/2020\/12\/Nintendo-SwitchOnlineOnAWS\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AWS Official website<\/a>, Japanese). With AWS itself having issues starting on the morning of December 7 (PST), services that make us of that platform also began to have problems. Nintendo followed up their initial notification saying the outage is indeed related to AWS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u5229\u7528\u3057\u3066\u3044\u308b\u30b5\u30fc\u30d0\u30fc\u300cAmazon Web Services\uff08AWS\uff09\u300d\u306e\u969c\u5bb3\u306b\u3088\u308a\u3001\u30cb\u30f3\u30c6\u30f3\u30c9\u30fce\u30b7\u30e7\u30c3\u30d7\u3084Nintendo Switch\u306e\u30cd\u30c3\u30c8\u30ef\u30fc\u30af\u30b5\u30fc\u30d3\u30b9\u304c\u6b63\u5e38\u306b\u7a3c\u52d5\u3057\u3066\u304a\u308a\u307e\u305b\u3093\u3002<br><br>\u554f\u984c\u306e\u89e3\u6d88\u306b\u306f\u3001\u3057\u3070\u3089\u304f\u6642\u9593\u304c\u304b\u304b\u308b\u898b\u8fbc\u307f\u3067\u3059\u3002\u3054\u8ff7\u60d1\u3092\u304a\u304b\u3051\u3057\u3066\u7533\u3057\u8a33\u3054\u3056\u3044\u307e\u305b\u3093\u304c\u3001\u5fa9\u65e7\u307e\u3067\u3082\u3046\u3057\u3070\u3089\u304f\u304a\u5f85\u3061\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u3002<\/p>&mdash; \u4efb\u5929\u5802\u30b5\u30dd\u30fc\u30c8 (@nintendo_cs) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nintendo_cs\/status\/1468408366049689601?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 8, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>AWS is used by numerous games and platforms including the Epic Games Store, <em>League of Legends<\/em>, <em>Valorant<\/em>, <em>Dead by Daylight<\/em>, and <em>PUBG<\/em>, which are also experiencing issues.
