Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Greencell (@Greencell161541) reported@Pirat_Nation Actually Nintendo isn't the problem as they actually offered to help Game Freak, and Game Freak ******* refused
-
easynow (@easynow1337) reportedHow @NoMansSky released cross save with Nintendo switch 2, have be absolutely broken and unable to play cross save, after people paid for the product for a second time. To not even acknowledge it is diabolical behaviour.
-
VideoGameObssession (@matthewhenzel) reported@MetalJesusRocks The problem is with 3rd party published games.. Well, the source of the problem is that Nintendo is only offering them 3rd party a 64GB card, and charging $16 for it. The Key Cards are likely a small fraction of that. Nintendo needs to offer smaller cards for smaller games.
-
Stephen (@lostfrog1357) reported@SteelSupport My Arctis Nova 7P doesn't show up as a sound output device on my Nintendo Switch 2. The system sees the headset as a USB microphone, though. I can't find anything about this issue. Are there plans to resolve it with a firmware update?
-
Maroxad Ⓥ🚲😷 (@Maroxad) reported@nightopiaz @lightskinpalace Granted, you could make a case about how it should be sold at a loss. But this has been an issue with Nintendo forever, and not exactly a Switch 2 issue, as much as a Nintendo issue.

whitemonkey1 (@babywhitemonkey) reportedNintendo Switch ² brand new already encountered battery swelling issues..
-
Kamen Gamer Retro (@KamenGamerRetro) reported@Pirat_Nation people just going to ignore the poor frame rate in the trailer? Game Freak is still part of the problem here, its also not just Nintendo. I feel people dont get what cycle Pokemon as a whole has put itself in.

🍃💚Nemi The Meowscarada💚🍃 🏳️⚧️ (@MeowscaradaNemi) reportedThere are only a few things I agree with Nintendo on but most of everything they have done...I do not support. All I can be thankful for is that they made online subscriptions cheaper than Xbox and even PlayStation. At least more affordable. I don't like that they made their online service a subscription based thing just to follow along with PlayStation and Xbox but I am happy that they are cheaper for me to afford.

Zylo WolfBane (@ZyloWolfBane) reported@Kneon The main issue is with Nintendo their first party games rarely go on sale.
-
Grok (@grok) reportedNintendo predicts 15 million Switch 2 units sold by March 2026, including the 3 million sold in the first 24 hours. This leaves about 12 million more units expected by then. For 2025 alone, analysts estimate 13-14.7 million units, suggesting 10-11.7 million additional sales this year. Strong demand and popular games like Mario Kart World support these numbers, but higher prices ($449.99) and potential U.S. tariffs could slow sales. Supply issues may also persist until January 2026. Forecasts vary, and actual sales depend on market conditions.

🇨🇦Toxic Canadian ManBaby 🇨🇦 (@ToxicSecretary) reported@_Ashaman @Pirat_Nation I heard the Mario movie had the same issue with Peach, and Nintendo forced Illumination to reel it WAY back until we got what we actually got.
-
TeeJ Tech (@Big__TeeJ) reportedMy biggest issue with Mario Kart costing $80 is that Nintendo games in general just don't come down in price with time like everything else does. It being an $80 game is a significantly more impactful situation than the outer worlds 2 simply because the other worlds 2 will likely be on sale for half price within a year or two and that's just not going to happen with Mario Kart. 5 years from now it's going to cost you a hell of a lot more to buy World Mario Kart World then it will outer worlds 2.
-
Daniel (@DanielJoonge17) reported@sthetixofficial Updated to the newest Version with no problems. Before updating I tried to launch OFW which failed (I never use it), then launched Semi-Stock and updated online through Nintendo Servers. Got the new HATS-Pack, SYSmmc was already on newest Version, only had to update Emummc Thanks
-
TempestWolfVT (@tempestwolfvt) reportedIf you take a moment to watch the video, they explain the issues with the Switch 2. I said I wouldn't recommend based on an informed decision from professionals that analyzed the device for repairability and showing underlying issues such as the drifting issue which Nintendo is aware of themselves. That's all.
-
dan (@dan_kotsu) reported@realimjustkey It depends on your taste. My problem is Nintendo and how they treat their consumers I'm not supporting that. But at same time I'm not a hypocrite we all have **** we love and end up supporting which indirectly someone ****** up involved doing shady ****
-
ShadowHalcyon (@Shadow_Halcyon) reported@Moskaato @Stealth40k @GyoJvfr Yes, and every time it happens, it’s a problem. “Nintendo isn’t the first time that’s happened so don’t blame Nintendo” no, I will blame them for doing it because they know they can. If you do, in fact, do something, then you did, in fact, do the thing. Literally basic logic.
-
Charles d'Espagne (@hispanrex) reported@sagdivide32257 @onlyhereforpkmn They did, don’t be silly. Nintendo already made it publicly known even before the switch 2 became available that Pikmin 3 specifically was one of the game that had compatibility issues. They have a dedicated website for this.
-
JustSomeRandomGamer (@jsrg_1) reported@seafairyservant @CaseyPhotoz @soniccobra951 WAIT EVERYONE I HAVE FOUND A FIX If u own switch 2 ver of deltarune u get the switch 1 version free!!!! Enter the download code that target provided to Nintendo website to get switch 2 version anyway. Then go to Nintendo’s page for deltarune (switch 1) it should say free download

PSI_Mae 🍉 (@PSI_MaeOmega) reported@Pirat_Nation Nintendo wasn’t the issue: the Pokemon company was
-
Keiichi Morisato (@keiichimorisato) reported@Moondog8679 @J_ROOST @Nintendo 3D isn't that much cheaper, its actually more expensive. The problem is that most adults won't see a 2D animated film, but are willing to see a 3D animated film instead.
-
Craig"CAPTURED on PS5 "Harris (@CraigHarris456) reported@nortonsflyer @DoWhatYouDo6 Yes, b/c it doesn't. Nintendo and Sony don't have the same issue that MS had, however Sony has the Business meeting in a few days, so have to wait and see what they are going to do.
-
Hugh Jackman Stan Account (@ShadowzPaine) reported@MustacheCash101 @gosuprime022 @Nintendo It still their characters if they had an issue with a trans woman representing their character they would say so since nintendo cares about their ips a lot
-
Kitastrophe (@Kitastrophe_Ra) reportedNintendo claims the Switch 2 Joy-Cons are built from the ground up—but stick drift is still a problem. They literally copied the internal design. Clearly, the only lesson they took from past consoles is that people will keep paying to replace broken controllers/Joy-Cons. #Gaming #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch2
-
SonicXatles MustardSexual💋 ARC (@SonicXatles) reported@Xtremeisthebest @Pirat_Nation Nintendo is doing the LEAST. thats the problem. Nintendo runs pokemon btw, they have some say in how it works & the funding for it. if the game is *** we can blame the runners of the pokemon series but its also owned by Nintendo who oversees it, some fault is on them
-
Elevatorisbest 🗿🦅🇪🇺 (@Elevatorisbest) reported@videotechuk_ @NintendoAmerica Nah, don't justify even higher prices, 70 euros/dollars is expensive as is, add in fact that publishers like to price things at 10-20 dollars more in poorer countries for whatever reason and it's a hellhole that deserves some AAA crash
-
lindsay (@zeglerverse) reportedmlb the show friends: so i am STILL getting disconnected from online gaming despite going into my internet firewall and opening all the ports customer service told me to. i'm so stuck, someone pls help me bc they wont help me any more than that. i have a nintendo switch
-
Grok (@grok) reportedI can't say for sure why the image request was denied, as I don't have access to the specific reasoning. Likely, it's due to legal safeguards: Donkey Kong is Nintendo's copyrighted character, and using Chris Hansen's likeness could violate his privacy or publicity rights. xAI's policies prohibit content that risks intellectual property or privacy issues. The alcohol aspect might play a role, but it seems secondary. Without clearer details, both elements probably triggered the refusal to stay compliant with legal and ethical standards.

Diaily (@DiailyDarudas) reported@pory_leeks So the big ******* problem with pokemon games are with Nintendo making gamefreak push out shovelware games.
-
専 (@Sen_Works) reported@ALegendaryDrops Blame Nintendo for starting it. It's how corporations work. Gamepass is a way to add value to customers. I don't like $80 and no game should be $80. But blaming MS for making their already great service look even better because Nintendo decided to pull the trigger is stupid.
-
TempestWolfVT (@tempestwolfvt) reported@OutOfPocketChum @LaprasKnowsBest @ArtistNcs It really comes down to picking your poison. Regardless, Nintendo fans will most likely get it. The best thing anyone can do is just to know what you're buying, what to expect for issues, and so on.
