I thought they shut down the 3DS/Wii U shops to focus on the Switch service? Yet it's down in the middle of the damn evening smh.

Nintendo is incredibly incompetent at online anything.

But if its a scheduled maintenance window, near in mind Japan is about 14 hours ahead of US Eastern time, so since its 8:04 PM here, its about 9:04 AM there. Seems an odd time for maintenance, but hey.

I mean you cant make in good faith the argument of being incompetent because of online maintenance.

Maybe they dont want Pokmon fans from crashing the shop for potential news.

You can for scheduling maintenance at times people might ne expected to be using the service thats why maintenance jobs are typically scheduled after midnight.

But that line was just a knee jerk commentary on Nintendos whole online everything sucking.

Counter point Midnight isnt universal and follows the same Gremlins levels of logic. More since sometimes something does just have a fit and break at inconvenient times.

Like Gamefaqs of all places when it goes into maintenance mode.

Not really if you consider maintenance usually involves people working on stuff. Japan choosing a maintenance window that's when everyone is at work or school, including the workers who actually need to do the maintenance, makes perfect sense. Starting maintenance right after your IT department gets into the office and has their morning coffee seems like the perfect time for it.

Sure. Maybe Nintendo does it at 9 AM as kids are at school by then or something. Im just saying that by American standards the time is atypical.

Its immaterial really though. Maintenance doesnt excuse their voice chat implementation being awful and a number of other things.
