Nintendo Switch: Important warning before Christmas

Nintendo’s switch console, which can be used at home on the TV set as well as on the go, is one of the most popular Christmas gifts. So that there is no rude awakening after the presents this year, the Japanese gaming group has now published an important warning on Twitter: If you can, you should set up online accounts and process game downloads before the Christmas rush on the servers begins.

Nintendo’s warning is based on empirical values: Nintendo’s servers were already sweating last year in view of the numerous Switch recipients who all wanted to set up online accounts and download games from Nintendo’s servers at the same time after receiving their new consoles. There were outages over the holidays. Nintendo wants to distribute the server load better this year So that this does not happen this year, Nintendo published a warning on Twitter shortly before Christmas. Parents and new Switch owners are advised to create Nintendo accounts before the presents are given and to download digitally purchased games in advance to the consoles that were given away for Christmas. With the warning, the Japanese want to spread the expected onslaught on their servers over several days. Creating a Nintendo Account is easy: go to nintendo.at and click on “Register” in the top right corner. A Nintendo Account can then be created with which one can use online functions such as the eShop on the Switch and download digitally purchased games. If you give your children a Switch, you should first create an account for yourself and use it to manage the children’s activities.
