Switch: Nintendo is already warning of server crashes over Christmas


The Switch’s servers could cause problems this weekend, Nintendo is now warning.

The Nintendo Switch and associated games will very likely end up under many Christmas trees again this year. This will ensure that the servers for the games but also for the console in general could be overloaded this coming weekend. Nintendo is now assuming this itself and is already warning the players for an essential function.

Nintendo accounts could have massive restrictions from Friday

Therefore had Nintendo on Twitter published the following news at least for the Japanese market (via IGN):

Access to the servers for Nintendo Accounts will be increased this weekend and it can be assumed that Nintendo Accounts will not be created directly. If you’re trying to start a Nintendo Switch for the first time, it is best to create an account now.

Accounts important for the switch: Even if an online account is not required to just play modules, all other functions of the switch are linked to the fact that an account is registered on the console. Therefore, everyone who is considering giving away Nintendo’s console should create the account now and, ideally, link it to the console. You can read here how to do this and what you still have to pay attention to:

In addition, it is foreseeable that other server problems could arise. At Christmas last year, the eShop server was down for a long time (via Nintendo) as a result of which games could no longer be downloaded or purchased. A fatal mistake, especially with gifts such as a prepaid card.

It cannot therefore be ruled out that the servers and games of the Nintendo Switch and all other gaming platforms could go on strike this coming weekend. So make plans now how you will survive the Christmas season, in case your gambling plans fall through due to possible internet problems.

Have you ever had to postpone your Christmas plans because servers weren’t working?
