I expect people to work on Christmas so I can access the eShop.
Holy shit quit crying kid.

Nintendo fanboys in denial all over the place.
Outside the nintendo bubble, online services are supposed and expected to work 365 days a year, with occasional failures but hardly 2 days (and counting).
As for the title and the spirit of the thread, I had enough faith in humanity to assume nobody would have taken it literally.
People paid for the handheld with real money (maybe money they saved by working as nurses or doctors or policemen on Christmas day themselves, you know) and expect the service to work AS ADVERTISED, plain and simple.

In the past I thought just like you, but as I grew older I realized things won't always work as they should when you need them. In these cases it's wiser to just be patient instead of being upset about it, you will be doing yourself a favor.
I have yet to see an online service that "work 365 days a year, with occasional failures but hardly 2 days (and counting)" Every service has its flaws... PSN compromised personal and credit card data of it users some years ago. Xbox Live claims to be free but it won't even let you use Youtube or Internet Explorer without paying for a gold account. (Just tried to do it yersterday). I can't access Steam even now. So I don't think services flaws is a thing accepted exclusively by this "Nintendo buble".
Are you a doctor? A nurse? A policeman? Or is whoever bought this for you in those professions?
If the answer is no then you can stop whining.
If the answer is yes, still stop whining.
This is either some serious bait or you're like twelve and cannot grasp the concept of patience. Overloads happen now and then, it's hard to estimate and prepare for one. If the eShop is up already then you should quit crying already.
Christ I'm pretty notorious around here for being the "anti-Nintendo guy" and even I have to stick up for Nintendo on this one because it happens to everybody.
I just marvel at the notion that being able to unwrap a device on Christmas morning and start downloading stuff from its appstore is perceived as some kind of novelty or spoiled kid material.
The outage is a minor inconvenience, the title is indeed leaning towards click baiting (this was actually the third or fourth thread on the subject, but the only one to gain any momentum), but some of the answers here are gold.

I will say that I was a bit peeved that my 3DS was unable to make any connections to Nintendo's servers whatsoever, even this morning. Came here looking to see if anything was up, and here it is. I'm not the only one having this problem.
This is a serious issue. As many people have stated, there must have been kids getting their new 3DS or Wii U on Christmas and being completely unable to play it (if, for example, it was the Legend of Zelda edition). A BIG thumbs down for Nintendo there.
Obviously, any service will see downtime, but there is technology in place today (the best implementation of which I have thus far seen being Microsoft's) that allows for server resources to dynamically scale with demand. Such technology was designed almost exclusively for situations such as this (massive spikes on holiday/release days), so it is very annoying to me that no companies are managing to use it correctly.

But on the flipside, more people must care about Nintendo than Sony or Steam since I haven't heard as many vociferous protesters about Sony's PSN going out.
You're on a Nintendo forum. People probably WANT Sony's PSN to go down.
steam only happened since they announced l4d2 = free for one day only now every signal person who doesnt own it is trying to claim and download it at the same time
the overall winter sale service has been pretty fine
I was playing gta online on ps3 fine so not sure what the complaints are from
seem to be from ps4 though

Man, that's beyond my brain I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though -

@Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.+1 -

Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
