Hey islanders, the GenACNH Operations Team here with an advance heads-up regarding upcoming Nintendo network maintenance that may affect online play and Dodo airport gates.

Scheduled Maintenance Window

Nintendo has officially scheduled server maintenance for Online play (Nintendo Switch software) across the following timeframe:

• Maintenance Starts: Wednesday, October 7, 2026 5 :55 PM
• Expected Completion: Wednesday, October 7, 2026 8 :00 PM
• Affected Services: Animal Crossing: New Horizons(including Nintendo Switch 2 Edition)

What This Means For Your Island Flights

While Nintendo is performing server work, online connectivity and Dodo airport multiplayer connections might experience brief interruptions or temporary errors. We recommend wrapping up any active island trades or villager pickups just before the window kicks off.

Rest assured, if you have an active order placed on GenACNH, our automated queue manager will keep your order safe and dispatch your delivery the second the Nintendo servers reopen.

Thanks for your patience, and feel free to reach out in our community Discord if you have any questions!
