If anyone knows what's going on, please help me out! 【them's fightin' herds】 I'm Japanese and I play games on my Nintendo Switch.The other day, after updating the game to V4.0.0, I can no longer use the online lobby. Is the server under maintenance? Or is it some sort of error?

@IGN Omfg old news. Even Nintendo is doing this now and it’s a bandaid fix. Will work only for awhile before it starts going bad again

@90sNostalgiaGuy They go so quickly! I wish Nintendo had better ways to handle this so scalpers weren't such a problem 😩

Neither the Pixel lobby nor the browser server can be used. I'm getting a network error and failing to get the lobby. I've tried re-downloading the game and checking my home network connection, but I'm still getting the error. I also pay for Nintendo Switch online usage！

@Zennistrad @cymaiden Sony's service is virtually the same one it has consistently had since its beginnings on the PS2 modem, in contrast with Nintendo which reinvents the wheel every single time it comes out with a new console and notoriously has VERY short windows of support compared to like the PS3

My consoles' lifespan: Nintendo Switch: 12/25/17 - 12/21/22 Nintendo Switch OLED: 12/21/22 - now New Nintendo 3DS XL: 12/25/16 - now (no issues) Nintendo Wii: 12/25/06- now (no issues) The fact that my nearly 16 year old Wii outlasted my nearly 5 year old Switch baffles me.

@finalfantasyvii Out of nowhere, on Nintendo Switch, Crisis Core closes on startup with an error simply saying "Software was closed because an error has occurred". Any ideas?

@LionintheTrees Yep!! Nintendo especially seem to keep old ones locked away, (and they could make a mint just selling them digital??) but they are starting to add more to their online service. It’s sad because we lose a library of unknown gems over time.

@Bosscow2171 @ryanoleary93 @GundamIsHere However I would counter point not to long ago capcom was also in that same category of **** show as well. So was Nintendo as well and Xbox was almost dead. I do think a lot of people don’t understand how quickly things can chance and what trends are really the issues tbh.

@PufuuLive ...I don't see a problem, dude. It's literally just an FPS glitch. You don't need to apologise for a dumb glitch that wasn't your fault. And if it ruins other people's fun, then it's on Nintendo. Not you...

@MemoriesOfN_M_R And the fact that we’ve been saying this for so long, yet Nintendo does absolutely NOTHING good to fix it further proves that Nintendo doesn’t care about their customers whatsoever. Stop supporting them, for the love of god.

@tinkyisawinky @MagitekDad @ethangach Same chip, they just had no devices. Samsung and Apple use their own stuff for tablets. It's literally just the Nintendo at this point. Problem with the RTX M is the power draw for a portable. Like 25 W more for the same or less power. (And being discrete.)
