Nintendo eShop Back Online December 29, 2013

After four days of being completely non functional, Nintendo has restored the Nintendo eShop on all of their supported platforms, including the Wii U and 3DS.  You should be able to access the eShop from your console to purchase and download digital games, or redeem download codes for any of the store’s content, or stream supported videos.

After doing my own experimentation with the restored shop I noticed it isn’t perfect.  It did take a bit longer than usual to log into the shop from my Wii U, and the first time I tried to patch my new copy of The Wonderful 101 failed, but succeeded on my second attempt.  However, as the day has gone on, performance in the shop has improved and I have been able to successfully browse the store’s content and stream several videos without issue.
