The Switch eShop had some issues last weekend, with some people having a problem with buying games with a credit card.

Nintendo haven’t revealed what the issue was exactly, but they’ve now fixed it via a software update. The Switch’s firmware has been updated to version 10.0.4, and here’s the sole patch note:

“Fixed the following issue:
We have fixed the issue where it was not possible in some countries or regions to add funds using a new credit card or to register credit card information in Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch.”

So if you’ve been struggling, everything should now be hunky-dory.
