Initial Loads hangs when on a hopping connection (aka an airplane)

[(NSW)Evident]

Ok so I know this isn't a normal example, but I fly ALOT and I tried to play on my airplane (not "mine" but Alaska Airline's) today and it loaded the first time (after 30 seconds) and downloaded some stuff, and I even played 5 rounds perfectly no lag. After exiting the game and reloading it never got past 0% on the loading bar. My connection is fast enough to stream netflix but I'm not sure why I cant get past this screen. Why is it even needed? Updates don't come from the nintendo store? Is there a way to make it work better?, faster?

Thanks!
