Nintendo was founded in 1889 as Nintendo Karuta by craftsman Fusajiro Yamauchi and originally produced handmade hanafuda playing cards. After venturing into various lines of business during the 1960s and acquiring a legal status as a public company, Nintendo distributed its first console, the Color TV-Game, in 1977. It gained international recognition with the release of Donkey Kong in 1981 and the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Mario Bros. in 1985. In our Nintendo eShop Server Maintenance, Can’t Use Credit Card guide, we’ll explain why you’re getting the credit card error on the Nintendo eShop. Long story short, it’s probably just due to maintenance. However, that’s not the only potential reason. That’s why we’ll show you when the server maintenance will take place and what you can try if you do end up encountering an error that’s not server-related.
Can’t Use Credit Card Error, Nintendo eShop Server Maintenance
Many users have complained that they are facing some error.

According to the official Nintendo Network Maintenance Information website, the next maintenance window will happen on Monday, May 16th. Well, depending on your location, there’s a good chance it will actually be May 17th. Specifically, it should begin at 9 PM Pacific Time on May 16th / 12 AM Eastern Time / 6 AM CEST on May 17th. The process will wrap up at 7 AM Pacific Time / 10 AM Eastern Time / 6 PM CEST on May 17th. That’s a pretty long period of time, during which you won’t be able to use your credit card on the eShop, because “all network services will be unavailable.” So, arm yourself with patience and just play the stuff you already have in the meantime.
