Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Skull_Nocturne Nocturne (@Skull_Nocturne) reported

    Lrt: God, that’s pretty much how it goes... It also can mess with you, REALLY badly, if you’re already dealing with problems beforehand Nintendo’s lack of “ranked” experience shows and, unfortunately, we’re the ones paying for it

  • EliteGamerHaven Gamers-Haven (@EliteGamerHaven) reported

    @PaladinAmber So I may have a Nintendo Switch finally if I can repair this broken one. You named a Litwick after me which Pokemon do you think I'll name after you? 🧐

  • Sandsshrew Ethan (@Sandsshrew) reported

    I ******* detest Bunny Day in Animal Crossing and the DUMB ***** didn't even fix the **** that made it so annoying last year. Jesus Christ Nintendo. Jesus Christ.

  • BRITENESS_ BRITENESS (@BRITENESS_) reported

    @aevanko I haven't had a single issue with my pro controller, but joycons... I can't use nintendo's. They start drifting within a week of using them

  • Imprez_ VLNC | Imprez ❄️ (@Imprez_) reported

    Also I played ICs again today on WiFi Still not horrible but not ideal, nintendo needs to fix their patch thing

  • CaptainJett12 Captain Jett (@CaptainJett12) reported

    How are Nintendo gamecube controllers, joycons, and pro controllers so insanely expensive yet very prone to not working as intended 😡

  • ICanWalkISwear Sir. Joe Swanson (@ICanWalkISwear) reported

    @nintendo_epic @nintendofac No problem Really epic Nintendo facts

  • Sorroxas89 Dani (@Sorroxas89) reported

    i will be giving away a 45 dollar eshop card for nintendo switch for a digital download of crash bandicoot 4 tomorrow if u choose not to buy the game with the money its also fine its subscribers only and you have to be present in order for a chance to win

  • jazzministrator Jazzministrator (@jazzministrator) reported

    @didyouknowgamin Pro controller drift exists too. Yet nintendo wants $40 for a fix for it. **** that.

  • dragonedge10 Ed (@dragonedge10) reported

    @SkyeTheWeeb @salvador7a @IruzzArcana They're also over double the size. I definitely agree that Nintendo should invest into a fix on this ASAP, but we should really stop acting like a fully functional control stick that's a third of the size of any other stick is comparable to these other ones.

  • HoodedFigure08 Soren (@HoodedFigure08) reported

    Playstations games are legendary and deserve to be preserved just like Xbox and Nintendo games. The fact that Jim Ryan sees old games as "ancient" and not worth playing anymore, just shows how much trouble we are goin to be in once we fall into the all digital future.

  • Pilot_Ikari Shinji Ikari (@Pilot_Ikari) reported

    Nintendo games are unfinished. They release the game with lack of content but at a playable state then slowly release content patches and DLCs to fill up the game after they receive positive reviews and gets their sales revenue. I see that as a problem.

  • 11esaev Esa💜💤 (@11esaev) reported

    in lego friends for the nintendo ds, there is a glitch in the marina where if you walk into a pile of oranges at the right angle, you’ll fall through the map and die

  • SoddersLiger Sodders - Sentai/Power Ranger Cosplayer (@SoddersLiger) reported

    I am having a severe issue learning Monster Hunter Rise, all the controller buttons are reversed compared to other console controllers and its hard to break the mentality that Xbox's A is Nintendo's B.

  • KirklundTheKid koma 🤧 (@KirklundTheKid) reported

    @JevyHabibi I don't trust nintendo wifi. I was lagging vs CDK today bruh

  • 87Redd NF_ReddPlayz (@87Redd) reported

    Pleas fix chat audio on the Nintendo Switch! @PlayApex @PanicButtonGame @EA it's stuttering!!! 😫🤔

  • krafttcheese kraftcheese (@krafttcheese) reported

    now I won't sit here and say all our problems would be solved if Nintendo proclaimed the long awaited Third Year of Luigi, but.......

  • jackscosplay1 Jacks.cosplay (@jackscosplay1) reported

    @NintyPrime Nintendo and MS both do subscription services for their legacy games (nintendos is hit or miss) but it seems like its putting pressure on sony to do something with their titles, remakes and remasters are cool but those take time. Ps plus might be revamped into a legacy service

  • CallumDobson9 Globulous (@CallumDobson9) reported

    @Hero_Shark @didyouknowgamin What are you talking about? Joy-Con Drift is a serious issue and people have the right to be annoyed with Nintendo for selling broken controllers.

  • Jrocketz2 Jonny (@Jrocketz2) reported

    Nintendo's online service is so garbage, I swear to God. I had no problem joining friends playing Monster Hunter online on the PS4, but I get disconnected like 10 times while playing with them.

  • DPro9009 MCSmashFan (@DPro9009) reported

    @Hellooo39648924 They barely even fix crashes on nintendo switch and bugs in general

  • earnono earnono*BeatLinks!! 💙💙💙 (@earnono) reported

    @kurisucchi The thing is... I actually order the byleth amiibo straight from nintendo jp with the help of proxy service like a month ago and now dtbltz is actually accepting orders for him ahhhhh I dunno what to feel about this😭

  • Str8Buck614 Mr. 614 PS5🎮 Northside Knights 2K21 (@Str8Buck614) reported

    @justdancegame @UbisoftSupport @NintendoAmerica I’m trying to subscribe to just dance unlimited on the switch for just dance 2020 but I keep getting a 2811-6003 error code.

  • barndingus The no one? (@barndingus) reported

    nintendo you muthafuckas fix my ******* joycons!

  • MBgov1133 ⛩MB⛩ (@MBgov1133) reported

    Can't wait for only English Marth to die tomorrow since Japan has indefinite access to FE1 via Nintendo Switch Online until Nintendo decides to discontinue the service in 10 years

  • karissima10 (@karissima10) reported

    I got 99 problems but buying a Nintendo switch would fix 97 of them

  • GhostDreaded Dreaded Ghost (@GhostDreaded) reported

    @ovayya Someone at Nintendo forgot to pay the service providers

  • Tyler97413027 Tyler (@Tyler97413027) reported

    @Nintendo Please fix your online whenever someone is hit in mario kart, and 7 it doesn't register as a hit please fix this.

  • Hans_Schnauzer Sean Fletcher (@Hans_Schnauzer) reported

    @seamus I've still got my wii plugged in so I can get my galaxy and sunshine fix anytime - though I never do. So maybe not? I'm in the same boat I'm trying to convince myself not to buy them again. Also why does Nintendo ignore the existence of SMG 2.

  • alejour1 alejour (@alejour1) reported

    @SenRenais @glanimthegreat @NintendoAmerica Im saying specific things that you don’t care to address and then you just obfuscate to well that’s a you problem. Don’t do that. I’m not criticizing the series based on nothing. It’s my second most played game on my 3DS. I had to grind a lot since I didn’t buy the microtrans
