My Nintendo Store downtime today (April 24, 2025): When will servers be back up?

My Nintendo Store downtime today is now underway (started at 4:55 UTC/ 12:55 EST). The My Nintendo Store, as well as online services for Nintendo Switch exclusive games Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, were put on hold for a while. Even though the maintenance for both games is now complete, the store might still take some time before it becomes properly functioning again.

This was officially confirmed by Nintendo via a social media post that they recently uploaded on X. Even though the post was in Japanese, when translated to English, it read:

"We are currently conducting emergency maintenance on the My Nintendo Store. We apologize for the inconvenience, but please wait a while until the maintenance is complete."

Note: Even though the maintainance time downtime is said to end at 2:00 ET, it could be extended if there are any unforeseen circumstances.
