Nintendo has published its maintenance schedule for the week of June 21, 2026, confirming multiple downtime windows that will affect the Nintendo eShop and several online services on Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
After brief downtime for legacy platforms such as Wii U and Nintendo 3DS last week, Nintendo’s focus this week returns to its current hardware lineup.
Background
Nintendo’s digital storefront, the Nintendo eShop, and online systems are routinely maintained to deploy updates and ensure stability.
The Nintendo Switch family, which debuted with the original Nintendo Switch on March 3, 2017, now includes the newer Nintendo Switch 2 hardware; both platforms are listed in the company’s June maintenance bulletin.
What’s scheduled (week of June 21, 2026)

Paraphrased statement from Nintendo
Nintendo confirmed the timetable in its maintenance notice and advised players that the eShop, in-game purchases, and certain network functions will be temporarily unavailable during the listed windows.
The company thanked users for their patience and directed customers to its official maintenance pages for ongoing updates.
What players and developers should know
During these maintenance windows players should avoid attempting eShop purchases or redeeming consumable items, since transactions may fail or be delayed.
