The entire Nintendo Switch services and servers are down, and fans are not happy at all. On December 8th, 2021 at 12:35 AM JST, Nintendo informed the fans about this issue. Nintendo posted on their Twitter account and its website about the issue. This server outage is affecting Nintendo eShop access, online gaming, cloud savings, and many more.
