Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JDisKey James (@JDisKey) reported

    @Sequipedalian1 @_DogBiscuits That the problem is in fact the Nintendo toaster

  • Ghiacciolo10 Ghiacciolo (@Ghiacciolo10) reported

    @MojangStatus Well I have a problem on my Nintendo Switch like I can't complete the achievements, In my world survival without cheat I was doing the Wither and after I killed him it didn't do the achievements now I need to recollect the Wither skeleton head :/

  • Kotlolish Kotlol (@Kotlolish) reported

    @ChekeHs I am not looking for any reason. I am concerned of this practice due to what happened with another Nintendo property and the problems with early DLC. I am 100% not gonna bash this game for early DLC announcements... I am just concerned.

  • NaOkiExistiert NaOki (@NaOkiExistiert) reported

    @OrdinaryGamers There's no reason. Nintendo hasn ever been as focussed as of now on the handheld market. The Steam Deck also exists, which has practically no problem of game supply due to the fact that it's linked to Steam. Sony would have to do more than open another division, which isnt worth

  • koooooooncentra (sponsored) koncentra (parody)🐀 (@koooooooncentra) reported

    effective immediately, steve is banned from my house. this ban will persist until nintendo decides to take action and fix their mistake. reasons detailed in thread vvv

  • shiggypoo Sean Higgins (@shiggypoo) reported

    @MisterAddons Saw that, but noticed others are also having issues with their 3-button & N64 controllers. Wondering if it’s Nintendo gatekeeping via firmware (I’ve had my NES/SNES controllers for 18 months and the Genesis are brand new)

  • deondrehawk7 DeondreHawk7 (@deondrehawk7) reported

    I never have a problem with a Pokemon Presents or Nintendo Direct, but this one was rather mediocre. There was virtually no content that I was interested in, expectations aside.

  • RainbowStarDX 👑Rory✨ (@RainbowStarDX) reported

    @SuperGirlKels The ONLY reason I'm pro ban on Steve now, is because he has a very apparent exploit that if Nintendo sees the reception to the character and how bad this glitch is, they'd fix it. I honestly am fine against the character otherwise, and hope they fix this lmao

  • ASushiBowl john (@ASushiBowl) reported

    @NintendoAmerica fix the game first

  • DSBW1ON1 DUCKSWAYBOBWEAVE (@DSBW1ON1) reported

    @campagne_papi Ban him till Nintendo / BandaiNamco move fix'n it.

  • Ari_MrsShiny Ari (@Ari_MrsShiny) reported

    having too much issues with gmail and nintendo, im just tryna redeem my Zoroark

  • sxalawag Moody Solos (@sxalawag) reported

    @Ezae_EJ How about we yell at Nintendo to fix these broken characters instead of them saying “game is finished, good luck!” Idc about who plays what but when characters have too much bullshit on their side they should be properly nerfed like the rest of the cast who had some good tools.

  • DerLord_A Lord_A (@DerLord_A) reported

    @hoppie426 @NintendoAmerica Excuse me? A few bugfixes are not what I would call „basically fixed“. It remains an unfinished game, gameplay is fine and never was an issue. Its technical state however is atrocious…

  • helpless_vol Helpless Vol ☘️☘️☘️ (@helpless_vol) reported

    Nintendo could have made many fans happy by announcing Pokémon red/blue gold/silver for their emulation service on Pokémon day. I am sad.

  • sm0lb3ann bean(s) ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ (@sm0lb3ann) reported

    @Craids @TeamYouTube It’s down on Nintendo switch too. Just tried to open it on both my Roku and Switch and it’s not working on either

  • nintendo_boy123 Nintendo Boy (@nintendo_boy123) reported

    @UgdinTBD @antdude92 @NintendoAmerica And what exactly is the problem with more Kirby content on switch? And besides not everyone actually got these games on 3DS

  • LukeWebster91 Luke Webster (@LukeWebster91) reported

    @NintendoUK Cool, looking forward to it, but please for the sake of the players and fans, fix the performance.

  • nuckles87 nuckles87 (@nuckles87) reported

    Kinda wild how Nintendo is literally killing this service because it’s no longer profitable to run, and they STILL won’t run a sale for their games lol Gonna be spending $40 on Revelations. 🙄

    @sirvenni @DelusionPosting When you're in class you're supposed to be paying attention. Not playing on your Nintendo Switch 🤡🤡🤡 To say that the teacher deserved to get knocked out and kicked leaving her with broken ribs for doing her job is just ldiotic

  • Enrique73537487 Enrique M. (@Enrique73537487) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the Game, still has so many bugs

  • ErebonianKnight Knight's Atelier 🔞 COMMS OPEN (2/3). (@ErebonianKnight) reported

    The problem with Tales Of isn't the quality of the recent games. It's that Bandai Namco no longer gives a **** about the series anymore. I'd argue that Nintendo needs Xenoblade more than Bamco needs Tales lmao

  • stupidghostboy khaspyr 🏳️‍⚧️ (@stupidghostboy) reported

    @Jumpy29006214 @DiddySaucee gameplay issues aside there was no reason for this game to cost 60$ and look at terrible as it did. i know graphics arent everything but swsh looked so much better. i believe gamefreak would benefit from either breaking away from nintendo or taking more time to dev their games

  • Ari_MrsShiny Ari (@Ari_MrsShiny) reported

    having too much issues with gmail nintendo, im just tryna redeem my Zoroark

  • link5261 David Jameson (@link5261) reported

    @BroccoliMc @NintendoAmerica I no longer put faith in Pokémon rumors. There was far too much "they'll patch them in" talk back in the SwSh days, and then again more recently with ViSc glitches and performance issues. Yeah, the rumors were partially filled, but never completely. Always a rushed, half-*** job.

    @brentalfloss I had a 256 GB SD card that wouldnt work with nintendo devices (switch, 3DS), and on switch would only work for about 20 gigs or so before refusing to download games. Manually formatting the SD card to FAT32 using software on my PC fixed the issue, allowing me to use the SD card

    @Clam_Chow_ @Thire75540556 The only time Nintendo notice this weapon is to fix a bug that it does💀

  • Seekertha1st Seek (@Seekertha1st) reported

    @ThisIsBing007 Let me not walk down the street in any red Nintendo looking shirt, I want no problems lol, I see you boxing, jist let run fam lol

  • nat_content nat underscore content (@nat_content) reported

    @itstheshadsy this feels a little misleading? most of the games you're counting are still available to buy second-hand, just not sold directly by nintendo. Games like Rumble U that are only available via the eShop becoming unavailable is a problem but it's not hard to get, say, Ruby and a GBA
