Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AbdallahAlbait1 Abdallah Albaiti (@AbdallahAlbait1) reported

    @ChomperT Damn, Crash and Spyro are the only non-Nintendo characters shown. That’s weird.

  • ChomperT CHOMPER (@ChomperT) reported

    @Dogman1199R @superpuppigal She reported the recent Nintendo vid that had Crash in it, then everyone started harassing her calling her disgusting words, and since she's very sensitive, she left Twitter for good, all she does is interact with the Crash and icon teams and is on Discord

  • ChomperT CHOMPER (@ChomperT) reported

    @AbdallahAlbait1 I mean, Sonic technically, but the olympic games is exclusive to Nintendo, so it doesn't count But yeah, it's weird, almost like they're spreading awareness of Crash for something cool that's coming

  • JamesPa09341272 RlzJam391 (@JamesPa09341272) reported

    @NintendoUK Don’t need another Monster Hunter game and also any posting feature on switch is useless because the switch uses a legacy browser that is too old to login with on Twitter. Cmon all I wanted to do was update my Twitter password and now I can’t post at all?

  • Jrm19801 Jrm1980 (@Jrm19801) reported

    @NintendoUK Love playing Mario kart 8, but no other games as the ZR button broken on delivery! Support only offer to fix not replace! My boy is so disappointed in Father Christmas now! Come on @NintendoUK I know you can do better!

  • EsperaCortez La Esperanza de tus ojos (@EsperaCortez) reported

    I think a big problem I have with the 21st century is that there doesn't seem to be any real innovation anymore. All technology seems to be headed in the same direction. It's a big reason why I don't keep up with PlayStations anymore and only pay attention to Nintendo.

  • sentences424 sentences424 (@sentences424) reported

    I'm gonna go to **** you nintendo luigi is broken wtf bacon isn't funny you keep going to the new gim soon Anxious but I'm

  • AgmonArye Bipchoo (Commissions Open) (@AgmonArye) reported

    @DreamcastGuy Dosent nintendo offer insurance on problems like these?

  • thehillycity Stardust (@thehillycity) reported

    @NintendoUK trying to sign into my Fortnite account on the Switch and keep getting an error message

  • disgaealikerasa Bradley Herring @Quadrillion dmg (@disgaealikerasa) reported

    @Zioflavio77 Nintendo is THE richest company in japan as of 2020 with a networth of $8.3 billion USD ...Money isn't an issue at all

  • NoDramaMama_ Feckless, Deplorable, Dreg! (@NoDramaMama_) reported

    @TekshowPlays @RhinoJeers @KATUNews You and I agree on at least one thing, Nintendo! I used to work for Nintendo as a gameplay counselor, in Redmond, Wa. It was the best job I’ve ever had. The only problem was, they wanted me to play games at home, that was a deal breaker for me. Other than that, they were great.

  • CraftKid5 SuperCraftKid5 (@CraftKid5) reported

    @DreamcastGuy Man, **** @NintendoAmerica. They won't fix their ****. They won't fix drift, **** the Switch Lite. Stick with a regular Switch.

  • SlyCubHound ✨𝕊𝕝𝕪ℂ𝕦𝕓✨ (@SlyCubHound) reported

    Okay so after some research and digging around, I've found that the actual reason for the lag is because of the adapter being a shitty 2.0 one. Gonna buy the Nintendo licensed one tomorrow, so I'm gonna be holding off on STTT until I get it in.

  • AlsoAdrian Yo Adrian! (@AlsoAdrian) reported

    I changed one of my Nintendo Switch consoles to a secondary Switch and made my Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch console my primary console. One of these days, I'll restart my island (again) and fix the Nintendo Account profile problem.

  • JohnSan18410504 Jon San #BLM (@JohnSan18410504) reported

    @ChazDaviscz but why tho crash made 0 impact on any of nintendo's consoles and i doubt sakarai even cares so shut up

  • Nuova409 Nuova (@Nuova409) reported

    @Joshbones_ @Crash_1009 Nintendo really screwed us over by not allowing us to download levels in the editor. This is only one example of a creator using dev exits. How many other levels have we suffered because of this exact issue?

  • tommycuber2006 Tommyking (@tommycuber2006) reported

    @Pandarianssb Oh ok just load up steam and then go to big picture mode and turn on nintendo controller support If steam is open then input problems usually go away If that doesnt work try to open yuzu through steam by "add non steam game to library"

  • Faeririi Faeri ♡ (@Faeririi) reported

    ..... So story time. Since I got my Nintendo Online last April, I've been borrowing my neighbor's Wi-Fi to be able to play because of issues with our own being outdated and crap - that's a whole story of its own. Anyways.

  • SmolRat2 Smol Rat (@SmolRat2) reported

    @BumbleBoi_ Smash ultimate actually doesnt have any servers it's all p2p nintendo has no servers for Nintendo online hence the shitty service

  • _ZeldaIsLife Ian | Punch A Fascist & Eat The Rich (@_ZeldaIsLife) reported

    Ugh getting really annoyed with the constant joycon drift that I’ve been having more and more lately. Also frustrating that @NintendoAmerica knows about these issues still and expects people to front the bill for an issue. Gonna call tomorrow and see what I can do -_-

  • ChomperT CHOMPER (@ChomperT) reported

    @LilMissCierra Crash was in a Nintendo vid that mostly featured 1st party franchises yesterday, now everyone is getting hyped for a possible Smash reveal

  • elliotduby Elliot Duby (@elliotduby) reported

    @Delzethin Thing is though this shows that Nintendo really does consider Crash a big deal. They can’t have not considered him for Smash

  • zach_dryden Zach Dryden (@zach_dryden) reported

    You would think that when the Switch sold out early in the pandemic, @NintendoAmerica might have gotten a ****** clue to fix Mario Party online multiplayer but no... instead, we suffer.

  • HeavilySinful James (@HeavilySinful) reported

    Anyone reading this in the future won't get this but Nintendo just released a switch trailer highlighting Crash Bandicoot and Spyro The Dragon like they owned them, Nintendo WISHES they were even half as competent enough to make games as good as that

  • EmmyEspy Espyn (@EmmyEspy) reported

    I blame all my problems on Nintendo

  • LazyManGriff TopKek (@LazyManGriff) reported

    @ItsukiSword I get that. My issue with the games themselves is that they look the same and at times feels the same. Then Nintendo games aren't really the best or down right good in my eyes.

  • PlazTrademarked Zay (@PlazTrademarked) reported

    @DreamcastGuy To clarify, it's primarily an issue of a faulty battery, but it was definitely exacerbated by you treatment of it. Nintendo should repair this for free.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 36 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service
