The popular Amazon Web Services, or simply AWS, is down once again, resulting in a massive chain reaction across the planet. It looks like one of the world’s largest cloud computing service providers continues to cause issues for its clients, of which one is Nintendo. Because it’s not the first time that AWS has turned out to be problematic for its clients.

Just a few days back, AWS was down, and that resulted in a global outage, where all the major companies related to gaming, tech, streaming, and many more suffered. It’s a matter of concern because, once again, history has repeated itself.

As of now, Nintendo has released no news about this issue. But it’s likely that they will release an official statement about this issue very soon.
