The Asian e-amusement service undergoes maintenance every weekday morning from 5:00 to 7:00 JST. An extended maintenance period affecting all regions occurs every third Tuesday of the month from 2:00 to 7:00 JST. During this period, arcade games that run under the e-amusement service are still playable, but any scores or progress made towards unlocks will not be saved. All e-amusement 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. Any arcade games that are running in demo mode during this window will display a message stating that the network is under maintenance and e-amusement passes cannot be used. | The Asian e-amusement service undergoes maintenance every weekday morning from 5:00 to 7:00 JST.
