Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PaintedLive Painted🔞(2.0 Debut In Progress) (@PaintedLive) reported

    @LtningSwordGod @danny_jaffee @NintendoAmerica For that role? Yeah it's not enough. And It is though. The other problems like VA's being undervalued and underpaid isn't enough. It's an industry problem how do you not understand? It effects everyone including the VA for bayonetta. 💀

  • slymikael Mikael - Heretic, Hero (@slymikael) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Is today just the day for out of touch tweets by the big 3? Next I'm gonna find out Xbox tweeted about Scalebound for no reason and quickly deleted it. Also, fix Splatoon 3.

  • clockworkcoeurl relic weapon collector (he's insane) (@clockworkcoeurl) reported

    well i was but now every time it says BATTLE TIME! i get a communication error thanks nintendo

  • HadesOmega22 fearful demon 😈 🎃 (@HadesOmega22) reported

    @Ravioli__Bandit @NintendoAmerica How can they pay someone who didn't take the job. Also if the cost of living is a problem then that's something that should be taken up by the state.

  • Agent7Official_ Not_Agent7 (@Agent7Official_) reported

    //guys actually srs rn i dont know if its just me, but i have full bars and am sitting next to the wifi router, but whenever i try to get into a match, it says "BATTLE TIME!" like normal, then gives me a communication error? nintendo please 😭

  • FighoodFig Fig-hood (@FighoodFig) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Nintendo can't even pay to get decent servers. Back when your online service was free it was more stable. RIP, those who work now are a bunch of hacks, Miyamoto cultists, and FE gacha body pillow huggers. Nintendo has lost a lot of respect.

  • Pingui812 Pingui8 (@Pingui812) reported

    @annoixing @2mamoru2 @NintendoAmerica Nah let's enjoy this absolute W masterpiece and not tarnish the experience over a lie and a problem that wasn't reflected in this game

  • SummerBoltLily summer is a simp (@SummerBoltLily) reported

    splatoon 3 pisses me off over the communication errors and disconnecting. might sue nintendo. nintendo wont ******* fix it. but it is a meme either way

  • Sckarton1 Sckarton (@Sckarton1) reported

    @Ravioli__Bandit @NintendoAmerica they do. not their problem if one of them wanted 6 figure and house plus royalty when the original offer was 20k$ and she threw a hissy fit which guarantee her to be blacklisted for being a horrible person to work with.

  • brookeshired ts10 (@brookeshired) reported

    @UbisoftSupport (Just Dance 2022 Nintendo Switch) I have an Ubisoft Server Error and it won't connect to internet, I am unable to use the 30 day pass I bought for JD Unlimited :( My internet is fine, NAT type B,This is my primary console

  • TheChiefOkie Pcopps4 (@TheChiefOkie) reported

    Now the real me. Oklahoma put to death a man who killed his child. Breaking her back cause she interrupted his Nintendo game. Then went back to his game. He got off easy. They should have broken his back first. Kill a child you should die the same way.

  • SkyloftSword SkyloftSword (@SkyloftSword) reported

    Just got tempbanned from Splatoon 3 because of communication errors. I love you Nintendo, but this is embarrassingly stupid.

  • MagicHenn Steve Henn (@MagicHenn) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonJP before battle ended. A communication error screen popped up. I was then told I could not play anymore because I had disconnected. This is so **** pardon, my English.

  • CoachShiki Coach Shiki (@CoachShiki) reported

    @DifferentFight There's no way it has to be an error ....steam hasn't posted a price. There is no way it'll go for more then 39.99. Saw the Nintendo page but lol no way they messed up that bad

  • RaisinsOriginal 👾 Raisins The Original (@RaisinsOriginal) reported

    @TrevnickT @NintendoAmerica I am up to date, the issue is she got paid the most minimum rate possible per session. If you still think that is fair for someone who helped the franchise make millions, better check how you calculate your own worth and then come back to me. 🤡

  • LtningSwordGod ***** (@LtningSwordGod) reported

    @PaintedLive @danny_jaffee @NintendoAmerica Dude 20k is plenty of worth, we are not talking about other problems, we are taking about how the Bayonetta 3 voice actor getting paid 20k is a good amount for 5 hours of work

  • PaintedLive Painted🔞(2.0 Debut In Progress) (@PaintedLive) reported

    @LtningSwordGod @danny_jaffee @NintendoAmerica I never said 9-5 pays 4k an hour. 💀 I said voice acting is not the same as a 9-5 job in how it works. And contract workers like her and MANY voice actors don't get paid anywhere near what they're worth. It's a known problem in the gaming and anime scene look it up.💀

  • AllExWWE73 AllExWWE (@AllExWWE73) reported

    @felipesm3050 @DuplighostNero @NintendoAmerica Furthermore… the original voice of Bayonetta had broken the Non Disclosure Agreement and paid the price… her career.

  • DrKongPHD eternally somthing I guess (@DrKongPHD) reported

    @sillykoishi I think Nintendo hates you for some reason. Everyone has moments where communication error happens or team mates disconnect but you have it alot more then other people I've seen. Nitnendo needs to fix the game only for your sake

  • Snowymari ❄️Snowy Disaster Mari❄️ (@Snowymari) reported

    @Clarinet_Duck @NintendoAmerica The new VA has by far more experience than Taylor, has even worked with Nintendo before, just look for Hale's work and you'll see that money was never the problem.

  • Iowraynah twinkle toes (@Iowraynah) reported

    is anybody having trouble joining a lobby or using the nintendo app (tested my internet)

  • KoijiChan Koiji Chan (@KoijiChan) reported

    I got penalized for 10 minutes over this too. @NintendoAmerica please fix this! My internet connection is amazingly well and the fact I’m literally next to the router so I can’t take it any longer!

  • Jabronick Jabronick (@Jabronick) reported

    COMMUNICATION ERROR ON THE RESULTS SCREEN NINTENDO???????

  • Watchman_5 Scotti 🏳️‍⚧️ (@Watchman_5) reported

    @Ravioli__Bandit @NintendoAmerica It's Platinum Games' problem not Nintendo's. She still sort of lied by omission

  • JamieHalse Jamie Halse (@JamieHalse) reported

    @ebitdaddy90 Altho, Nintendo and Sony do ok. So doesn’t seem an unsolvable problem.

  • NineR_Live NineR (@NineR_Live) reported

    Still dont understand how Clam Blitz is an actual competitive mode. Just because Nintendo puts it under "Rank Mode" does not mean it has to be played in tournaments. It only causes problems, would also flow way better with a SZ, TC, RM set for both BO3 and BO5

  • poondonkus DonkusGallantmon (@poondonkus) reported

    sure, using a bunch of famous Nintendo characters helped the game sell better, but I don't know if this was a problem that needed to be "solved".

  • stev3thepir4te Chubs (@stev3thepir4te) reported

    @spectralsquire has been posting on how garbage smash bros online is for a while. But seriously. The amount of people that complain about it and somehow it gets worse every week? @NintendoAmerica fix your online play please!

  • edgyfox99 Shreds the wolf (@edgyfox99) reported

    @Arjent274 @Toastmastr1 @NintendoAmerica There’s history of VAs not being paid well. She technically lied that she was offered only offered 4k and she actually wanted to be paid 6 figures. So yes there’s a problem on both sides in this situation.

  • Dave19Brown83 David Brown (@Dave19Brown83) reported

    @Ravioli__Bandit @NintendoAmerica Lie or not, it was a Platinum Games problem, NOT a Nintendo problem.
