The eAMUSEMENT service undergoes maintenance every morning from 5:00 to 7:00 JST. An extended maintenance period occurs every third Tuesday of the month from 2:00 to 7:00 JST. During this period, arcade games that run under the eAMUSEMENT service are still playable, but any scores or progress made towards unlocks will not be saved. All eAMUSEMENT pages with the exception of the portal site are also temporarily taken down, rendering any customization options or score data that requires the web interface inaccessible. | |||
