Nintendo published its maintenance schedule for the week of September 6, 2026, confirming planned downtime that will impact payment processing on both the Nintendo Store and the Nintendo eShop.
The maintenance affects Apple Pay and Google Pay on the Nintendo Store, and PayPal on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
This notice is part of Nintendo’s routine service maintenance to keep digital storefronts and payment services operating reliably.
In a clear, journalistic restatement of Nintendo’s advisory, the company said the Nintendo Store will be unavailable for Apple Pay and Google Pay transactions during the listed windows, and the Nintendo eShop on Switch and Switch 2 will not accept PayPal during the same scheduled periods.
