Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Hopp3rSir Sir_Hopp3r (@Hopp3rSir) reported

    EMBARRASSING: So the ping glitch was not my Switch or Epic or Nintendo. For some reason I was being put on Middle East servers. @SIR_N3D1 and I were laughing so hard!

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • audoodl M Rondello. (@audoodl) reported

    @carb_gaming @IGN I mean. Nintendo “tried” but I have similar issues to you. I wanted to love my PSVR but the set up and specs just gave me consistent headaches. Maybe someday the tech will be more where it needs to be for someone with my level of motion sickness.

  • Trbbrs Trbbrs (@Trbbrs) reported

    @mattyglesias This is like saying Nintendo has an antitrust issue with app access to the Switch.

  • AmyTheBun Amy (@AmyTheBun) reported

    @ImpossibleScott @Meddle98 @DaveOshry yeah the number of games aren't the issue. it's the quality. i had this exact problem with the Nintendo's witch when it came out. thousands of games. but all of them were worse then the games you saw on youtube ads ;-;

  • GigaBiteEXE GigaBite (@GigaBiteEXE) reported

    @tombstonelover Undersharing and oversharing are really common in today's world but really I think Nintendo's lack of communication with game releases is not among their biggest problems, their communication PAST that though is horrid and unforgivable though

  • MobCat99 MobCat (@MobCat99) reported

    @semiautomvtic I already sold off a few years ago and bought a Nintendo switch and a few electronics testing gear sooo i'm out 🤷 but good luck to the rest of you 👍 The big problem you are gonna have if you don't live in the US is finding somewhere to sell your coins >__<

  • Audientis2 Audientis (@Audientis2) reported

    before you say “your internet is just **** water” no, it’s not, my Xbox, laptop, Nintendo switch, and phone all can stream and play games and join parties with NO issues at all, then, yesterday night, I decided to give the PS4 some time, maybe it’ll fix itself, nope, it got worse

  • FDragon1321 FireDragon1321 (@FDragon1321) reported

    I know Nintendo's going to stick with the "Gladion forgives Lusamine too" idea, but it doesn't gel with his character as well as Lillie's, and the Aether Foundation itself is a problem that is never fully addressed. (14/15)

  • goat101010 ste hux (@goat101010) reported

    @dankthemanc @GrumpyMark01 @dannyyoung35 biggest problem was their own fault, having their own memory cards instead of sd like nintendo

  • AngeIicZaIithan AngeIic_ZaIithan (@AngeIicZaIithan) reported

    thing for nintendo to do- quite frankly, scummy, but it makes it so that we can have much more old games- and did i forget to mention, a ******* virtual console? yeah. BUT. We have another issue. With people buying so many virtual console games, I don't think they will have room

  • dottonator Daniel Otto (@dottonator) reported

    @ValveNewsNetwor ITT people upset that Nintendo protects their IP from illegal usage and stops people from profiting off their IP. Not mentioned enough is the incredible problems with their internet infrastructure, nor their lack of engagement with streaming/esports/speedrunning.

    Hi @NintendoUK I'm having trouble placing an order for 5 rewards from My Nintendo Store. Is there a contact number I can call to speak to someone please?

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 28 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Kikibound Kiki 》Somewhere in the middle of time (@Kikibound) reported

    @SlideBrain Oh god yeah... How hellish do you think it would be if Nintendo did MiiVerse for switch? I didn't dabble in service myself, just posting old screenshots

  • ridley_legassy Joystick Kujo (@ridley_legassy) reported

    @ColToons @OutOfContextEv That’s not the problem, look at Disney and Nintendo. Their stuff is cartoony with realism and it works. The problem is the character designs. They feel off along with the animation. I can appreciate the squash and stretch they’re trying to do but it comes off weird cuz it’s not-

  • VoiceofMidnight MidnightMan (@VoiceofMidnight) reported

    @datshadycorner Panel de Pon on Nintendo Switch Online service. Been looking for somebody to play with to sharpen my block-swapping skills.

  • RachyFox Fox 🦊 (@RachyFox) reported

    Can’t thank @NintendoUK enough for their fab customer service this morning. Someone hacking my account in a pandemic was NOT fun

  • DryBonesGuy Jacob (@DryBonesGuy) reported

    @PcElitist__ Nintendo is quiet and stick to their side, I have not had problems with xbox, Sony is annoying but doesn’t attack and Pc does so they win My personal take

  • DaedricWaifu (@DaedricWaifu) reported

    @NintendoUK @granzella_inc @NISAmerica I’m playing #DisasterReport4 on my #NintendoSwitch and out of nowhere in a certain location it is lagging badly, and crashing. I can barely play it without it freezing. It’s been fine so far. HELP PLEASE 😭

  • chevalenz Chevalenz (@chevalenz) reported

    @Viaganini_ @NintendoAmerica That's unfortunate. I hope this problem will be fixed for you and all the other people having trouble with game's performance.

  • TheKavernacle The Kavernacle (@TheKavernacle) reported

    @jose7uju If you mean in terms of PS5 not having a similar service yeah - but Xbox is being embarrassed by both Sony and Nintendo when it comes to hardware - Switch outsold the Xbone despite coming out 3.5 years later...

  • Connokuma Connokuma (@Connokuma) reported

    @Myst1c31 @nintenmau5 Sadly I think most of the wiiu library is in Switch now so that wouldn’t work. However would love a GameCube service! Honestly if Nintendo have use gamecube I think we would see even more sales or subscriptions of switch online

  • Waluigi4smas4 Waluigi For Smash (@Waluigi4smas4) reported

    @Red4Smash Among us has had a massive presents this year but that kind of underlines the issue, Nintendo probably decided pass 2 last year and they likely also didn't know among us existed last year, live alone considered adding the imposter. I could see a mii costume maybe but playable..0%

  • smeves78 Greebosmeebo (@smeves78) reported

    @Crazyreyn any sign of @Nintendo fixing the glitch in Mario Kart 8 where once you've completed every cup you can't skip the credits after finishing a cup? It's super annoying!!!

  • Shelton20_Jack Zygarde Rumble Va (@Shelton20_Jack) reported

    Dose Everyone here have the same nintendo WiFi issue like playing smash bros and then disconnected like a minute later that I'm having?

  • SlightlyBearded Daniel Powley (@SlightlyBearded) reported

    I ordered a Christmas present on the 23rd November from @NintendoUK store, still hasn't arrived or even left the warehouse for that matter. Excellent service there lads 👍

  • Ferny4EVER ‌f£l2N (@Ferny4EVER) reported

    @ACH00E True, if only nintendo would do something about this 😔 Its like i have 6 joycons and most of them used to have joycon drift problem somehow and it could happen anytime
