"Either way, someone over on Reddit got confirmation from a Nintendo customer service rep that Nintendo is rolling out an update next week to fix the issue. Just to be sure our chain wasn’t being yanked, I too called Nintendo’s customer service and indeed got the same response. I also sent an email out to our PR rep for official word on the matter from a higher up, but so far no response at this time."
