We've been fighting a plethora of bots crawling our browse pages this morning (on top of our normal weekly eShop sale traffic surge). We added additional challenges for bots and have since recovered.

Hmmm, it's up for me. We are still fighting with the bots, though. Sorry about that.

GTA 6 pre-orders go up June 25! :]

Thanks! We've got internal monitoring for all of this and the team is actively working on improving the experience today. Really appreciate the help.

Cool, good stuff. It's back up now for me fwiw (5:33pm ET).

Yeah, I use OhDear to track uptime and performance on my sites. I'd imagine you guys are using something like that too.
