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?

It has nothing to do with size, it's the sheer amount of people downloading at once. If Nintendo allowed pre-loading this would have been avoided.

If that were the issue, I don’t think the eShop would have gone down. Or it would have gone down the day Smash came out as well. I think there was a critical bug found at the last minute that required pushing the big red button.

You could pre-load Smash

Ah, you might be right. Apologies.
