As a long-time Nintendo enthusiast who has been through countless console generations, I can’t help but feel a mix of frustration and amusement at the current predicament with the Nintendo eShop error. Having experienced similar issues in the past, it’s like we’re stuck in a never-ending loop of technical glitches, just when we thought we were finally getting the hang of things!
