Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

    @NintendoAmerica Fix your website

  • ShurtugalTCG Skul (@ShurtugalTCG) reported

    Anyone have a good lead on where to get retro gaming magazines? Specifically PSM (U.S. PlayStation Magazine) issues? eBay seems to be a lot more barren for PSM than it is for Nintendo Power.

  • nonsmarts nom (@nonsmarts) reported

    @PopoBoyyo I'd love to but nintendo refuses to fix their website or at least say anything about it

  • CanadianAniGuy Canadia 🍁 (@CanadianAniGuy) reported

    @BuskHusker Nintendo's online pre-orders are broken to all hell

  • SheepEtiquette Ashton Will (@SheepEtiquette) reported

    @My_Echo4 @NintendoAmerica The special edition preorders were also today, but Nintendo posted absolutely nothing about it today and only posted a vague reminder yesterday that it would happen today with no specific time. In addition, they've done nothing to fix the problems that happened the first time.

  • TheSweatSlyr Panda | The Sweat Slayer (@TheSweatSlyr) reported

    @brodyoby Mayflash is your best bet for 3rd party, I think it has an extra frame of lag compared to the stock Nintendo ones but it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things

  • armormodechang K'eeg (@armormodechang) reported

    it's funny how the Genesis additions to that Switch Online service are just consistently better than the actual Nintendo consoles

  • BennyLava20 Benny Lava (@BennyLava20) reported

    @ch1ckenbuttt @bllyray @NintendoAmerica Most likely bots. Looking at Twitter all day for most people the website was completely ****** and many did not get it. The out of stock for a while was a glitch as some people were able to bypass it and get it after that message showed up.

  • TylerFindlay234 Tyler Findlay🔩⚾️ (@TylerFindlay234) reported

    @mattbattmatt @migizuri @NintendoAmerica Button Lag.

  • ScotSpaceKing SpaceKingScot (@ScotSpaceKing) reported

    @crawling_nyarly The team said thwt xenoblade x would be very expensive to port. And according to rumors and stuff they apparently wanted too but nintendo had them focus on new xenoblade games. It might be for the best for now. XCX has a lot of issue that a port wouldn't address.

  • BryceMcintee Bryce McIntee (@BryceMcintee) reported

    @Spxdog Sending you pats on the back buddy, hopefully there will be a next time considering how many called Nintendo Customer Service about this game

  • BennyLava20 Benny Lava (@BennyLava20) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Ignoring the problem didn't work last time, nor will it this time. Now what ******** are you going to do about it?

  • KeyToAeris KeyToAeris (@KeyToAeris) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the servers

  • JetgoshiEX Jet @ Road to Xenoblade 3 - Pneuma simp (@JetgoshiEX) reported

    You want the truth, here a funny story. I borrow my dad computer just to log in my Nintendo account because my phone got issue. After a long waiting room, I was about to purchase it, but my bank account somehow got problem with Nintendo for unknown reason. 1/3

  • TheDeadxJester Ron: Person who loves Helltaker 🔞 (@TheDeadxJester) reported

    @Tekno560 @Blun_Z Nintendo servers being awful ?? ...tbh I hate ordering anything physical from them just due to their loads of issues that and I work at a game store so usually I can buy whatever there

  • momiji_manjyuu もみじ(Momiji) (@momiji_manjyuu) reported

    @pasta_wheat There have been a few Nintendo consoles that have struggled, but those have maintained their market solely on the appeal of their own titles. That is how strong Nintendo's titles are, and I doubt they would go to the trouble of paying Valve a 30% fee to give up that advantage.

  • DoggoLogical Logical Doggo (@DoggoLogical) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Welp, I didn't get one because I decided I'd rather not sit on their forever loading website just to get bamboozled again like last time and I'm glad I didn't because they didn't fix anything. The positive at least is I could actually play the game now day one instead of waiting

  • superyggdrasilV 𝖆𝖓𝖙𝖍𝖔 ☠️⛓️ #BreakFreeXenosaga (@superyggdrasilV) reported

    @SquillCoolGuy It's weird but Nintendo has messed up the pre order website for the special edition for literal hours and ig ppl were trying to remind them to fix it but I don't think that message got that well across

  • Crytone Crytone (@Crytone) reported

    @Lbabinz Yup. Been trying to check out with it in my cart for hours. Always errors no matter what I tried. Thanks Nintendo!

  • ndominick13 Nicholas Dominick (@ndominick13) reported

    @migizuri @Bloodsugarzx @NintendoAmerica A bunch of Whiny *** ******* every time they release more games on this service. It's it that hard not to subscribe??

  • NoisyPixelNews Noisy Pixel 🔜 Anime Expo 2022 (@NoisyPixelNews) reported

    If you managed to pre-order one, make sure you got an email from Nintendo confirming the purchase. Might take a few hours. The storefront errors have kicked some people out while they're in their cart, or purchasing, without them realizing it.

  • KaoriMakimura85 Kaori Makimura (@KaoriMakimura85) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix your servers. I was in line and waiting to get a special edition of xenoblade 3 for SEVEN hours before I was let in and it had sold out.:(

  • PneumaPneumaAyy Henry Stickmin (@PneumaPneumaAyy) reported

    I was worried I wasn’t going to be able to snag a #XenobladeChronicles3 special edition but I gave my payment and sign in info to a friend and she got not one but two copies. @NintendoAmerica please fix your **** because that was so god damn embarrassing for you

  • Samantha_Clause Where No Bacca Has Gone Before🖖🙊 (@Samantha_Clause) reported

    Seven and a half hours trying to buy a game on a broken website they knew wouldn't handle the traffic. #Nintendo #XenobladeChronicles3

  • CrimsonOmen95 CrimsonOmen95 (@CrimsonOmen95) reported

  • Aqua_Xenossia Aquasol (@Aqua_Xenossia) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I get that it’s being done to try and combat scalpers/resellers, but it’s beyond disheartening that I’ve been able to get every single Xenoblade special edition so far through either Amazon or GameStop with no trouble until now.

  • bigpoppapat NassauNinja (Prez) (@bigpoppapat) reported

    props to @NintendoAmerica for replacing my 5 year old broken switch free of charge.

  • nonsmarts nom (@nonsmarts) reported

    @NintendoAmerica nobody cares now fix your website

  • RisqRaptor RisqRaptor (@RisqRaptor) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Twice. That's twice I've been kicked off the line. Worst yet I was blocked from making my payment like three times. Now it's all sold out. You guys have a broken online store service.

  • LotsofLams Jose Burgos (@LotsofLams) reported

    @koyoriin Nintendo’s website couldn’t handle it the last batch and they did nothing to fix it this time either. Leading to another mess. I had it in my cart and even checked out once but it ended up not going through. It’s pretty unacceptable tbh.
