Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • johnny_uniVO Johnny Universe (@johnny_uniVO) reported

    @Tomathius That rule was broken since smash 4 with cloud as FF7 at the time was not on a Nintendo console

  • buffythedude thelastqueenofegypt (@buffythedude) reported

    @NintendoAmerica are you going to have a fix for the server issue 2123-0217 anytime soon?!

  • Banana21381168 Bananaφ (@Banana21381168) reported

    @warioselect @m1staradical @SmashFanMoment as someone who doesn’t give a **** about tekken, and really wants crash in smash, I 100% agree. Nintendo fans are never ******* satisfied

  • DarthNecris DarthNecris🔰🇪🇸 (@DarthNecris) reported

    Man I just wanna redownload breathe of the wild can Nintendo get there act together this error code 2123-1502 is annoying as hell

  • cloudfoxdie Hannya 🦊 (@cloudfoxdie) reported

    @QuillShot89 @NintendoAmerica It was because playing it on a 3DS was the real "Dread", there shouldn't be problems on a Switch

  • alphaverve Dave (@alphaverve) reported

    Nintendo filled some of the holes in the software schedule for the rest of the yr., lacking a blockbuster ex Pokemon in the fall, tougher comps, supply chain issues makes a PRO release even more challenging. Transitional yr, wouldn't be surprised if it drifts back to trend line.

  • FireGokai GokaiFire (@FireGokai) reported

    @theonetruecire I think it would have depended on what exactly they brought. My biggest issue though is with the "fans" that think they're somehow morally superior to anyone that's even slightly disappointed with what Nintendo brought just because they aren't disappointed.

  • Conkerkid11 It Me (@Conkerkid11) reported

    @FluffyKing1994 @FanbyteMedia @mattLarnold This is literally an issue Nintendo made up and "solved", and Nintendo fanboys are praising them for it.

  • evilconsultant Evil Consultant (@evilconsultant) reported

    @NintendoAmerica it sure would be nice if we could download any software right now. Error code 2132-1502. Fix it please?

  • elliotduby Elliot Duby (@elliotduby) reported

    @ExpandDong15 People aren’t getting this. NO ONE can predict which specific spot a character will be in Crash is a huge deal and THE most wanted character and I think Nintendo is aware. All I can predict is he will be in this pass

  • nocturnalpalace !! noct !! (@nocturnalpalace) reported

    and about Nintendo’s best E3 in years? that’s just not it. stop bitching about such irrelevant things unless you wanna do something about it. are you learning how to develop games so you can fix what you see as broken? no? then shut ******** up.

  • PerttiMkel5 Pertti Mäkelä (@PerttiMkel5) reported

    @TrendsDollar @NabbitFan730 @NintendoAmerica Why everyone is expecting Crash? His only chance being in game is Mii costume and nothing else. Why everyone even wants him anyway? He would be such a boring character imo. Spyro would be way better and more unique Activision rep.

  • evilconsultant Evil Consultant (@evilconsultant) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Instead of trying to sell us things we can't download, you maybe fix your ****?

  • nomoravng Hak Hak Drakkhen (@nomoravng) reported

    @RealJAMESCAMRN Doesn't Nintendo fix that for free

  • HannyahZ Hannyah (@HannyahZ) reported

    @ReelRhoades @DSACostanza That is still dumb Japanese streamers have right to co-stream. If its ahead then that's nintendo's problem to fix. Its not like I can't just go and watch japanese presentation if I want to be ahead anyway co-streaming changes nothing.

  • RamO_is_not_ok RamO (@RamO_is_not_ok) reported

    @macawcaw123 @NintendoAmerica I get you're *** at the game, just don't take it out on other people. That's your problem, not everyone else's lmao.

  • DJK1NG_Gaming DJK1NG_Gaming - Edens Zero & Destiny Lovers! 🇭🇹 (@DJK1NG_Gaming) reported

    I still find it hilarious how Twitch blatantly spread Misinformation about Live Reacting to yesterday Nintendo Direct. But it just goes to say 90% of gamers have reading comprehension problems.

  • Mofirelizard Proprietor of Nonsense (@Mofirelizard) reported

    @BlaqMario @NintendoAmerica Yeah my only issue with them doing these drawn out releases is because of the issue with the scalper just instantly buying up the lots. I would be more ok with it if they just did a limited time thing and released enough for everyone during.

  • Sheepgo68909611 Shun Rambu (@Sheepgo68909611) reported

    @Avesha5 @TheNCSmaster It...costs the same...And switch also has a lite version that’s even cheaper. The switch games are cheap as heck in the eshop, and most of the triple A if not all are also just 60 USD. So the problem may not be Nintendo, just your country if for some reason everything overpriced.

  • CrashSpyroBanjo Biker Crash (@CrashSpyroBanjo) reported

    And here we go with some #CrashForSmash fans being melodramatic and giving up on him and blaming Nintendo for not wanting him in even though we have 1 more fighter left... I want Crash in too but let's not be childish because he didn't get revealed at E3 and give up...

  • Silentpassion18 Silentpassion (commission Open) (@Silentpassion18) reported

    wow nintendo, just had a fantasic E3 showcase, nice E3 sale going on right now buut I can't download **** because a ****** problem with the 12.0.3 update...

  • OnlyStringy Stringy (@OnlyStringy) reported

    @Banxy @MojangSupport I’m late to the party here but this is a Nintendo thing. Last Switch update broke everything (literally). You can’t download anything from eShop (bought or updates). There is no easy fix either (basically a lot of trial and error on clearing cache, restarting etc. etc.). F

  • hallowedthyname Vash of Gunsmoke (@hallowedthyname) reported

    @GamemasterYado @Nathand86914897 @IGN Nintendo is ridiculously dominant in Japan, hoenstly i can see playstation dropping off big time, especially if they continue to aggravate the japanese audience with censorship issues and increased western focus.

  • Leviathan1015 Clayborne Cook (@Leviathan1015) reported

    @murixbob @metroidhq @Ganon11 Not just Nintendo. Sony and Microsoft didn’t do anything about scalpers either. This is on the retailers they are the ones that should be trying to fix this but they don’t care because they are getting their money.

  • CruelScorp Simon Allen (@CruelScorp) reported

    @Boy19Sunny That’s shocking it’s been that long now with no word or fix from Nintendo. Currently I have 12 games needing an update but can’t because of the error, however I’m sure it’s a lot worse for others that have been buying games on the eshop and running into this error. It’s a mess.

  • FrankCaves Frank Caves (@FrankCaves) reported

    @Saviors4Negan I have no problem supporting Nintendo by buying games on the switch.

  • AndrewCarrier Andrew Carrier 🍸 (@AndrewCarrier) reported from Hammersmith, England

    Awesome customer service from @NintendoUK! My son had a problem with the joystick on his #Switch, it was pulling to the left. Went online, found the form, sent it back. A few days later a news joystick was delivered. No charge. All the time, we got regular email updates.

  • CGCentralHD98 CGCentral (@CGCentralHD98) reported

    @MenningOwen @IGN Your right it ain't my problem Nintendo is in the state it's in

  • chari_zmatic chari 🏳️‍🌈 (@chari_zmatic) reported

    @YellowishGrain9 Sucks to hear, a lot of people seem to be having issues :/ I'm awaiting a response from Nintendo UK support - if they say anything useful I will pass it on!

  • Acebalt1 AceBaltasar (@Acebalt1) reported

    @SoulHicham New game from a series that created a whole genre, that is also made by the company that makes the most money out of videogames. Not an AAA. Wtf do people have against nintendo? Like, i have a problem with the perma 60€ games, but only pokemon has quality problems for them
