  • monsthairr balenciagaga (@monsthairr) reported

    @ThorWilkins779 @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon how did you fix this ?? I'm having the same when I want to go the global room

  • Zacian_ Zacian (@Zacian_) reported

    So why does the eshop give me an error message every time I try to open it to get a Nintendo Online subscription?

  • Wee_Peachy 🍑🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Wee_Peachy) reported

    @NintendoUK whats happening with the Nintendo online servers being down? Nothing is being said and the service status page is just as vague only telling us what we already know (that the servers are down!). Just wondered if theres any sign of it being up and running soon?

  • SquidKid94 Joseph (@SquidKid94) reported

    @INK_Retro It’s down globally which sucks but Nintendo has identified the issues. At least we hopefully don’t have to wait long for just repairs

  • Wee_Peachy 🍑🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Wee_Peachy) reported

    @meg74308328 I still can't open the airport gate. Its coming up with an error message about the nintendo servers being down 😥 thought it wouldv'e been fixed by now. So annoyed because I have every fruit and veg variation waiting for you!!!

  • Wolf_Tuxedo Tuxwuff (@Wolf_Tuxedo) reported

    Nintendo,fix your damn online service! >:(

  • apotatoflewww hunter 🇰🇷 (@apotatoflewww) reported

    So @Nintendo makes us pay for online, a service that was free every other iteration, for **** connectivity even when it doesn’t lag so hard it’s impossible to play, and now their servers are down? Congratulations.

  • funkygoldrecord Mimi (@funkygoldrecord) reported

    Now why the world ending cuz nintendo servers down too-

  • Amethyst_T99 ♢Amethyst♢ (@Amethyst_T99) reported

    @Dannyjr288 @alhexadecimal1 That's not their console, that's Nintendo network (server) issue, it's already addressed at the network status website

  • YeetBsbakery 🎄JingleYeet🎄 (@YeetBsbakery) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @LifeIsStrange So are you going to address to switch online outage or…

  • gunpeiyokoifan Waiting again to see NH (@gunpeiyokoifan) reported

    I must be taking inspiration from Yokoi! he was a janitor who had the audacity to make a toy which impressed Nintendo and they made him a toy designer and eventually game producer. I legit want to do complicated computer work and problem solving as the damn towel folder.

  • TIxauth Good Dragon 🔞 (@TIxauth) reported

    @MiiyaUwU_EN My biggest issue with it really feels like all you do with a Nintendo consoles is wait for next first party game and hope it's not a remake. No wonder people emulate why spend 299$ to play... 3 games? Maybe 5? Oculus alone makes a bunch more launches than them at this point.

  • RachelWay10 Rachel Way (@RachelWay10) reported

    @animalcrossing I’m having problems with Nintendo not letting me visit people online. Is there a bug going on?

  • NOTBrian2023 SE☆ベンエクスプロ (@NOTBrian2023) reported

    Is it just me or are Nintendo's Servers down again?

  • leopopethompson Leo Pope (@leopopethompson) reported

    @NintendoUK @NintendoEurope I purchased v-bucks 10-10-21, the money left my account but there was an error on the Switch after I approved it. I contacted Epic games but they advised the issue is on Nintendo e-Shop.

  • lion__hat 0llie ⭐️ (@lion__hat) reported

    Hey @NintendoAmerica @NintedoSupport !! Any idea when your server issue is going to be fixed??

  • Amethyst_T99 ♢Amethyst♢ (@Amethyst_T99) reported

    @alhexadecimal1 Nintendo server issues, it's the same in some other games too (AC for example), I guess we just have to wait

  • Emilmaooooo Emilooooo (@Emilmaooooo) reported

    @GoldenICHI I kept getting connection errors so prob something to do with Nintendo online or maintenance or smth

  • AndrewFriedgen Andrew 🐺 (@AndrewFriedgen) reported

    man I am I tired of offline content behind restricted by a validation you need a connection for. @NintendoAmerica is basically like “oh, you live in a rural area with no service and want to play your content? get ******”

  • max29243 Max (@max29243) reported

    @NintendoUK fix your damn servers already!

  • darkmatteregg Just Peachy Scream (@darkmatteregg) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Why tf can’t I play the n64 on my Nintendo switch? It keeps saying there’s a server error.

  • maiekaaa 💀🎃Maiekaaa🎃💀 (@maiekaaa) reported

    Today sucks. Nintendo Switch Online must be down or something. I was going to play ACNH and the DLC but both of my switches can’t connect to the NSO. Tried checking the eshop too to see if there was an issue, I can’t connect to the NSO page in the eshop either.

  • MiseryDespair Meowseph Stoline (@MiseryDespair) reported

    @SmoggyLamb49 @NintendoAmerica Same for me, I was wondering if it was a global issue or a just-me problem

  • Gold3Connor ❄️Snow Connor❄️ (@Gold3Connor) reported

    @Reecee_yt I swear people gets scolded for everything someone likes like personally ya I only play Nintendo with few outside series like Sonic, Crash and Spyro, but still let me like the things I like

  • gibb_richard Michael Gibbon (@gibb_richard) reported

    @NintendoUK When Platinum was released and (most of) the problems were solved.

  • lynxleaf lynx (@lynxleaf) reported

    @lion__hat @NintendoAmerica @NintedoSupport Amazon servers have been having issues all day, so if Nintendo is hosting their services there that could be the issue :(

  • LIVELOVELESBlAN raf? (@LIVELOVELESBlAN) reported

    @goIdtemptation did u just login to my account from your nintendo switch? 😭

  • Sinji93 Sinji (@Sinji93) reported

    Are the Nintendo servers down today. Can't seem to play online for either MK8 or Smash today.

  • AutisticObelisk Obelisk_Autistic_Illustrations (@AutisticObelisk) reported

    @AirSlayer525 @playninjala Tried that but it didn't work. I have a Nintendo Switch Lite TBH. So I sent an inquiry to Gungho (a.k.a) Ninjala to fixed this issue. However I would say it had to do with the screenshots in question.

  • soyghostt ALWAYS X WATCHING (@soyghostt) reported

    are the Nintendo online servers down or is it my internet >:(
