Nintendo has published a maintenance schedule for the week of May 17, 2026, detailing short windows of downtime for its My Nintendo Store and for consumable purchases on Switch-family hardware.
The schedule arrives ahead of a May 27 update to the My Nintendo Store name and lists specific regional times for planned interruptions to purchasing services on both Switch and what the schedule labels as “Switch 2.”
In a clear, concise notice accompanying the timetable, Nintendo framed the My Nintendo Store change as a minor update that will not affect other services.
Reworded for clarity: Nintendo says the store name change is limited in scope and that other systems will remain operational outside the scheduled maintenance windows.
