Nintendo has today advised of scheduled online maintenance to take place next week.

The works, affecting both Wii U and the 3DS, begin at 11.00 am AEST on 12 January and will run until 9.00 pm AEST 12 that same day.

Nintendo hasn’t advised as to why the downtime is necessary, but fans are hopeful it’s the publisher laying the groundwork for its new My Nintendo account system.

The My Nintendo account system is currently live in Japan.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
