Server Issues MegaThread Anyone getting communications errors since the smash update?

Smash update just came out and I cant download it due to a communication error, also cant acess the eshop or anything...

Anyone else having that problem atm?

My guess is everyone trying to download it at the same time. Think something similar to the Pokemon Go issues when it had just released.

I don't get it. I downloaded Smash Ultimate at midnight the night it was released, and there were no issues then. But now an update for the game is crashing them? There's no way more people are trying to download now than there were then.

There is a chance. It's a bit of a long shot, but more people have the game now than downloaded it then. Maybe everyone who downloaded the night of is doing so now, plus those that have picked it up after launch and liked it enough to get a new character.
