(And that's really not easy to achieve...) The annoyance that started everything was region-locking the 3DS. It's a portable system goddammit, why can't I purchase and play games from whatever country I'm in? It has worked up until to the DS, so why make it region-locked all of a sudden? (One stupid excuse I've read is the problem with different rating systems. I'm an adult. I don't care about rating systems. I can play whatever the hel I want.) I'm still hating this, because I would have imported several games from the US that either aren't available here or games I'd prefer to play in English instead of Japanese. And what made me mad today is their online structure. I bought a shiny new 3DS LL today (as a Christmas present to myself) to replace my launch-day unit. So far so good. When I got home I wanted to transfer my data to my new one, and what do I get? An error. On both consoles. WTF? Why the f*ck do I need an online connection to move data between 2 consoles in the first place? (Even if there's a legitimate reason, f*ck that.) I tried it at least 30 times from 11am until now (7pm). Even if the first online check goes through, then I get an error when the Nintendo Network ID check comes up. I was so close to making an angry call to the Support Center, but those poor guys aren't at fault and they probably get to hear a lot of insults anyway. I checked the Nintendo homepage and what do I have to read? Nintendo is now limiting the time when you can access the e-shop in Japan?! From 6am to 6pm? Really? Are you kidding me? I tried it in that time frame and all I got was errors. My wife tried it on her 3DS too to no avail. And now I'm outside this time frame. So I have to wait until tomorrow morning just to get more errors? Thank you, Nintendo. Thank you very much for wasting my time. (I want to waste my time with games, not with errors!) I just want to play Zelda on my new big 3DS. Is that too much to ask? Nintendo, get your sh*t together! Are you using cheap rental servers in Uzbekistan or what? You're pushing for more and more digital distribution when you can't even handle a few peak times here and there? Do you really think a half-assed apology on the homepage will make up for the inconvenience you're causing all the users who can't use their new game machines how they're supposed to? Sorry for the rant, but I needed to vent somewhere. Anybody else here experiencing similar problems? Feel free to share. Btw, this is the one I bought:

It is the pokemon bank app + all new users that are the issue atm.
they pulled the app in japan, they are prob. beefing up with more servers atm. it is under maintenance.
thats why you are having issues, the servers are down. has nothing to do with the other things you've mentioned
