More downtime is planned for later this week. Some network services for Switch, Wii U, and 3DS--including online __play and rankings--will be unavailable on April 5. This downtime is scheduled to run April 5 at 6:45 PM PT through 8 PM PT that same day.

In other Switch news, retailers in Australia have received new shipments of the hard-to-find console. In other parts of the world, including the US, the hybrid console remains elusive.
