Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BigPapaPeyton Peyton Hauskins (@BigPapaPeyton) reported

    @1winqel @radsaza Not to mention you have to connect to WiFi before playing downloaded games so if you leave the house and aren't near wifi your ******. Dumbest antipiracy feature yet. Fix your **** Nintendo.

  • StevenWade92 Steven Wade (@StevenWade92) reported

    @Wisecup0 @NintendoAmerica Could've save yourself the trouble by doing your homework aka researching the character ironically enough.

  • shadow_griever ShadowGriever (@shadow_griever) reported

    @danypatrol @OrigiGreatness Sony fans are many. And nintendo fans are also not fond of Gamepass. Nintendo doesn't even have their own GP service.

  • JelliSwitch Zale Unda 🔞 (@JelliSwitch) reported

    @BrotherBodhi_ @SkillUpYT It's the price that's pissing people off. You get full trilogy remasters like Crash or Spyro that launch at 40 usd from Activision of all companies while Nintendo does a bare bones port and slaps a 60 usd price tag on it. A port of a game that launched at 50 usd.

    @thatautumnyoshi Not even the AI is safe from Nintendo‘s god-awful online service.

  • tsukkioyaoya Michii 生|| HYUNJIN IS BACK (@tsukkioyaoya) reported

    @hsjfjdh nintendo fix this

  • loneking4ever houston sports + apex player (@loneking4ever) reported

    @evoslayer @NintendoAmerica Fix the roster first

  • Shawn98751829 Shawn (@Shawn98751829) reported

    @TeamNINJAStudio Any plans to fix low frame rates on the Nintendo Switch version?

  • FlameRoastToast Andy Corrigan (@FlameRoastToast) reported

    @Carmylite I just can’t even when I see it. It’s even worse that they’re all competing in different ways now? Nintendo’s gonna Nintendo. Xbox is a service. Sony’s staying fairly traditional.

  • CartridgeGames Cart Games (@CartridgeGames) reported

    @Neoxon619 It is now. Not my fault they’re poor at optimization. Don’t imagine it’s just that with all the internal namco games skipping switch. Besides, smash is a game for Nintendo fans. If they generally don’t know of them then that’s a bit of an issue

  • SlideBrain Slidebrain (@SlideBrain) reported

    @panthorium @OGG1993 You mean the problem that literally every company is facing Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo and every company can't really manage that,that's on publishers like Ubisoft/Sega/EA etc Sure thing, i can send you all of it once i'm home, so yeah no problem if you can wait a bit

  • PikaPikaL0L Kai (@PikaPikaL0L) reported

    @Wildbergerrrr Let’s forget about Game Pass and talk about the real best video game subscription service: Nintendo Switch Online!

  • BAM_boozler88 Brian Alexis (@BAM_boozler88) reported

    @DankMaro @ExpandDong15 @NintendoVS I hope you guys realize Crash and Spyro have almost no chance of becoming DLC. Not because of Nintendo but because of Activision and CEO Bobby Kotick. He is one of the greediest men in the world and will ask for stupid amounts of money for either of them. Remember PS All-Stars?

  • SevenThomsen (@SevenThomsen) reported

    @LumaYeahRight okay one issue is I don't have Nintendo online and another issue is my local's tomorrow

  • Bubuu811 Bubuu81 (@Bubuu811) reported

    @Antasma1 @terrestrial2187 @thegameawards Nintendo fans are stupid, don’t bother explaining the oblivious. Remember these are the same “fans” that DDoS are game journalist because the first botw was given a 7.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 131 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • LoftAtTandem 💙queer disaster world record combo💙 (read bio) (@LoftAtTandem) reported

    @DioptaseSystem 🍒 PS1 was easier to develop for because it had a limit of ~650MB per CD (and you could use multiple, e.g. FF7), and N64 was basically limited to one expensive cartridge Nintendo tried and failed a really hacky fix for this (the infamous 64DD) that only sold ~15K units in Japan

  • evoslayer Fabianskii (@evoslayer) reported

    @NintendoAmerica don’t care fix your fanbase

  • Neoxon619 Nabil #BLM #StopAsianHate (@Neoxon619) reported

    @CartridgeGames As long as the character has appeared on a Nintendo system at least once, it shouldn’t be a problem. And Smash has yet to go against that.

  • dont_be_cilly cilly 🕜 (@dont_be_cilly) reported

    @vinterp2 people are also pretty stupid banjo and Kazooie are owned by Microsoft, who killed their franchise crash is strongly associated to the Sony consoles doom guy and sans are both from games strongly associated with PC gaming a character not associated with Nintendo wil never make it

  • LoftAtTandem 💙queer disaster world record combo💙 (read bio) (@LoftAtTandem) reported

    @DioptaseSystem 🍒 however, the whole project is notable for being Nintendo's first attempt at online games and it even had an internet browser with no surviving footage (they shut the service down in 2001 after two years), and most of its projects moved to carts, GameCube, or other consoles

  • MJ312 MJ (@MJ312) reported

    @2027Dante @SPgamer786 Do you sound like a little whiny little B. For one this is emulate , emulates are legal , The ROMs are in a gray area. Plus Nintendo knows about this. Xbox One been doing this for years. If Nintendo has a problem with this this would have been stopped. shut up you hater cry baby

  • CrispsCold MicahChips 🏳️‍🌈 #EldenRing (@CrispsCold) reported

    @carneasadafri @f0x_engine This quote applies to live service games. Nintendo fans are using this argument even though the majority of their games aren’t live service.

  • rigbysface C B (@rigbysface) reported

    My @EA account is linked to my Microsoft, Nintendo, and PlayStation accounts. Yet it is an absolutely impenetrable account because of a defunct email that I had to quit using because some ******* (probably from an EA data leak) hacked it. Fix this, @EA.

  • vinterp2 Vinter @ Mario golf (@vinterp2) reported

    @dont_be_cilly They have games on Nintendo platforms But I understand why people want them so badly Crash would have been interesting, but his movesett would be pretty boring and uninteresting, just like Banjo Doom guy would have funny, but he seems a bit to violent Sans has to be a joke

  • Schnabeltieruwu 🌼🌻 Schnabeltier Dame 🌻🌼 (@Schnabeltieruwu) reported

    My Nintendo switch cable is broken, new one for 30€ >:(

  • Korfmanx3 KORF (@Korfmanx3) reported

    @TheAndyCortez I still can't believe they changed how you set up your shot. It WASN'T broken dammit. Why did you "fix" it, Nintendo?

  • overclockplayer Overclockplayer (@overclockplayer) reported

    @thomas_rsvd Sadly it's been effected by the "free update" syndrome. Was an issue with ACNH, Mario Tennis, and a few other of Nintendo's recent games. To me, just seems they found a much nicer way of saying "Early Access" >:I ...Still like this dumb little golfing game, too. Dammit Nintendo!

  • _skylean ceolin (@_skylean) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Emojis not working + bad game

  • UmbralDaemon Umbral Daemon (@UmbralDaemon) reported

    @NintendoUK Hey when are you going to actually redesign and fix the Joycon issue instead of just carrying on making the cheap junk and offering replacement parts over and over? Remember when you had a “seal of quality” worth a damn?
