Some Australian players seem to be locked out of Nintendo's cloud-based games on Switch

GN Version 5.0

Control: Ultimate Edition and Hitman 3 were announced for Nintendo Switch this week, and both of these games can only be played via a cloud-based service. While this may sound fine in practice, this has lead some Australian users to be completely unable to play the games. It is believed that these cloud servers are only available on a regional basis, and when it comes to Australia's servers, their infrastructure just is not sufficient enough to play these types of games. There are even still issues if an Australian user switches from an Australian eShop account to an American one; the fact of the matter is that users are struggling to play cloud-based games in Australia.
