Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
『Nyarla Haiyore』 Foxxo 🦊🧪 Alchedumbass (@FoxxoAlchemist) reported@Cars2BluRay Thankfully it seems Nintendo’s moving away from peer to peer connections these days. The games with those kinds of connections are the ones that have issues on tmobile internet. Mario kart world works just fine i hear. As will most. The fromsoft games im nervous about tho.
-
Head-ZonkStudios (@HeadZonkStudios) reported@Grummz I'm more concerned with Nintendo's decaying business practices. The empty cartridges, the increasing service fees, and mistreatment of talent is what's turning me off.
-
blanko (@Blanks_o2) reported@SW1TCHBLXDE ok so you would need an update and internet to update so you would not be able to with a fresh system or a system you had to restore and a fresh cart. this would be an issue if/when nintendo offlines the servers/shop. both are pretty common scenarios
-
jorts!✨ (@BBC0RPSE) reported@ThnhNamPhan3 i see it because i go looking for sanrio products and quickly notice a few weeks later, theyre gone. because they got copyrighted, meaning they had to change products to avoid it becoming a financial issue. it happened a few years ago with nintendo copyrighting ppl lmfao.
-
Squidsy (@squidsyvt) reportedIf I said that I think $80 games aren’t the problem and that the problem is that the general public doesn’t get paid enough to live comfortably while still being able to buy things they enjoy I’ll get called a Nintendo glazer and to shut up
-
Wing (@LoperWing) reportedwait I just realized this means Nintendo *lied* in their compatibility data. Pikmin 3 was not in any of the lists of problematic games, meaning Nintendo was insinuating the game worked perfectly. Yet here the game is completely not working.
-
Galactidot (@galactidot) reported@Don_keyedjote @OswinOswald223 @Nintendo - error in the discussion. And what are you feeling sorry for me for? I just saw your initial reply to Nintendo and found it humorous for it's error --- and here we are!
-
Vanity (@Vanityshii) reported@jonathancigaret @iiWhiskey @Nick_Marseil well playstation isn’t trying to be a streaming service. They still want to sell consoles and console exclusives is how they do that, same as nintendo
-
Jaynez 🎮 (@JaynezPlays) reportedNintendo I’m gonna need y’all to say something about the wifi issues cause I really can’t play games like this 😭
-
Burke (@burke7187) reportedI have much less of an issue with a game like this being $80 than a Nintendo game that could have been made two gens ago and that has a much smaller team and dev cycle. It's just where the industry is going.
-
Static (@StaticManiaArt) reported@dgxchvz @yggdrasilsaltar ...how can Mario steal from Crash if Crash isn't the first series to do a thing? Good job trying to skirt you original point --- Mini-turbos come from the original Mario Kart. Diddy Kong Racing is from a sub-series Mario. F-Zero (a Nintendo game) did anti-grav before Crash.
-
Spouik (@Spouik_) reported@ABitofEpicness @NintendoAmerica It's probably an issue with the compatibility layer like the squid roll glitch in Splatoon 3, there are always issues like this with this kind of backward compat systems I'm pretty sure they'll patch it soon
-
Kyle James Olson (@KyleJamesOlson) reported@badlydrawnwott @FerrisWheelPro Fix me, because I was the biggest Nintendo fan until around 2019. I bought switch 1 day one. I came home disappointed playing 3 player Mario kart. On my 4k tv it looked so bad. Then the N64 online came out and was worse than emulators on my PC. I was done with the crap.
-
BloodyRipley 🎧⭕️ (@red047x) reported@L337L4K3 I just think Xbox clearly doesn’t care about exclusivity and is going to put their games everywhere. Gears going to ps made that even more clear to me. Problem is I don’t see Nintendo or ps doing that to Xbox lol
-
Archiethedog (@archiethedog_) reported@NierHellFire It is also important to point out. I'm talking about genuine good remakes. P3R, Resident Evil series, Crash Bandicoot etc Not ****** remasters Nintendo likes to produce. Unfortunately some companies really use the idea of remakes as a tool to get into players pockets
-
Cass 💜 (@perfectcrimes_) reportedi think nintendo heard everyone wanting mkwii's glitch techs again and responded with legal glitch techs in mkworld bc no way is THIS possible for any other reason
-
😶🌫️ (@DeadMisfit69) reported@Pirat_Nation Nintendo has actual QC and their consoles doesn’t come broken out of the box.
-
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
-
Melee K (@meleekarisma) reported@PunchoLuncho And even then it fails. There’s a large part of the library that didn’t get QOL updates. We tested a few and they all perform worse. Nintendo had to intentionally fix for them to run better than the previous system. It’s really bad.
-
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
-
SuhjAmesNSane 💀 (@SuhJamesNsane) reported@Zodyrus @pory_leeks The problem is Nintendo. One showcases what Game Freak is capable of. The other shows that happens when they're forced to churn one out every 1-2 years. Simple.
-
Bickle bork (@BickleKun) reported@Xbox_Series_XS Nintendo is terrified of all these handheld PC that can easily emulate their hardware. Maybe they wouldn't have that problem if they made real hardware
-
ITZ J1MB0 (@ITZJ1MB0) reported@hangryhiggs I have a problem with $80 games because it is pricing out people that want to own games and experience then. Sure there are sales and price drops but its just greed for the sake of it. Like 4 Nintendo games puts you down £240 pound like WHAT.
-
How-to Gaming (@how_togaming) reported@Allkiller87 @CJsDiarry @Dexerto So am I. Mario Kart World is so fun. This guy will just stay bored, it’s a personal problem at this point. He and all of the other haters protests on Switch 2 and Nintendo have failed, as reports are saying that 3 million Switch 2s were moved to consumers hands on launch day
-
Diaily (@DiailyDarudas) reported@pory_leeks So the big ******* problem with pokemon games are with Nintendo making gamefreak push out shovelware games.
-
Sorth Gaming (@SorthG) reported@Silberkatze87X @GenePark It bares the branding. This is the problem. Xbox button alone is cause for problems. I want to see this happen, I really do. But as long as they keep the branding. It's an issue. Sony is fickle. Like Nintendo.
-
How-to Gaming (@how_togaming) reported@AnAverageGamerX I don’t think he’s a Nintendo glazer like so many people act like he is but I kinda wish he would leave the haters alone, I think that’s his issue. He’s brining a lot of attention to a controversial topic. But I do hope those numbers check out so he isn’t hammered anymore.
-
Jordan Green (@Smurfgotbeat) reportedI had an idea it was a possibility but let's be honest.. the newest Nintendo system is gonna be in-demand. Wish I pre-ordered but nevermind, on the plus side an OLED has had a decent price drop so if I wanted to invest in one in the future for my little one it's not going to be a stock issue.
-
The Abysmal Critic: HorrorAmorata (@HAmorata) reportedThe one thing no one wants to practice that kills the full price issue is patience. Wait and you can get any game at a discount. Nintendo being the only exception, but they also don't have a game pass option for new releases. Since I play mainly PC games, the physical argument is already been toasted. But I'm not willing to budge over owning my games. FOMO is the one thing that really gives Games as a Service air.
-
tronman64 (@tronman64) reportedIf anything any hopes of me competing with online randoms are thrown out the window if this is the case. And yes...this is a skill issue 100%. Just wish Nintendo didn't decide to make their cpu's level up just in time for me to get back into the game.
