Nintendo Switch Online services return after downtime
The company's network suffered an outage early Tuesday.
Nintendo Switch's online features weren't working Tuesday morning.
If you were having trouble getting online with your Nintendo Switch, you weren't alone. The company's status page noted at 1:56 a.m. PT Tuesday that it was "unable to connect to the network service," but service appeared have been restored by 10:45 a.m. PT.
The outage came as many people were forced to stay home due to the coronavirus outbreak, making a quick online race in Mario Kart 8 DX or a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate match a bit of a challenge. While the service was down, you couldn't play online games or buy new ones digitally (Animal Crossing: New Horizons comes out this Friday), CNET sister site GameSpot noted.
