Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • YawariBleuBear Axa 🧸 (@YawariBleuBear) reported

    You would think that with a new Switch being released, Nintendo would fix some of the major issues with the original console Instead it's just more expensive for nothing. Great job, can't wait for frame drops on the crispy color OLED screen

  • bigbrobrah brobrah (@bigbrobrah) reported

    @NintendoAmerica RELEASE MORE GAMES FOR THAT SERVICE. STOP WITH THE SLOW DRIP FEED .

  • BluSatire PettySatire 🏁🐍 (@BluSatire) reported

    Does Sony or Nintendo need a subscription service offering new games day one to be successful this gen?

  • EnergizedFae TheFaeEnergizedOne (@EnergizedFae) reported

    @discord I mean, I'd love a broken gamecube, maybe Nintendo will remake it and I can trade that one in 😌😌😌 they are good at going backwards instead of forwards as a company

  • RealAtomicJay Atomic-Jay🚀 (@RealAtomicJay) reported

    @PrototypeA9 @BrainDumpTweets @NintendoAmerica Wow you really had to dig for this nonrampant issue.

  • _monalisser ℓıʂʂℯř (@_monalisser) reported

    My copy of #AnimalCrossing stopped working last week out of nowhere. Says the game card can't be read. After troubleshooting with @NintendoAmerica support, we came to the conclusion that it's an issue with the cartridge, since other games and other copies of this game still work.

  • under_galaxy Under Galaxy (@under_galaxy) reported

    @outonparole @GamesChemistry the problem isn't the price, which is up to the publsiher. The problem is that Nintendo, the dudes who literally invented a seal of quality for their library, allowed it there

  • knux333jw Knux (@knux333jw) reported

    Like I've said, I get it. It feels like we can't go freaking two seconds now without Nintendo doing something sketchy. The Wii U/3DS Era still had ridiculous lows, mainly because of Nintendo being Nintendo at this worst. But these recent issues don't even feel Nintendo to me.

  • spemarx Spencer Marsden (@spemarx) reported

    @shootamcg @_baljot I’m not getting into any console wars on Twitter. Last time I checked Xbox, Nintendo and Sony are all doing extremely well, and they all have their own unique super annoying issues.

  • stagvania Stag (@stagvania) reported

    @Xephyr117 @MoistCr1TiKaL The second problem is you thinking that advancement in technology only means more power, in fact I would argue Nintendo is more technologically advanced because there games are so efficient they don't need too much power to run them.

  • under_galaxy Under Galaxy (@under_galaxy) reported

    the problem isn't the price. The problem is that it was allowed on the shop by Nintendo, the dudes who came up with their own *** seal of quality

  • JBlaze404 BLAZE (Get the vaccine) (@JBlaze404) reported

    @TheSwitchForce its not an issue to nintendo they think it doesn't exist which is a load of poop

  • mattsunday Matt Sunday 😷 (@mattsunday) reported from Canonsburg, Pennsylvania

    @NintendoAmerica I’d just like to be able to purchase a Magnamalo amiibo without creating a additional supply issue by limiting it to a single retailer. Hasn’t been available at all outside of limited preorders, luck or eBay.

  • farklemaster82 9/11 IS CANON IN DISNEY'S CARS (@farklemaster82) reported

    @NintendoAmerica the switch OLED is such a joke. Same joycons? No Bluetooth headset compatibility? You're def earning less and less trust from me. Issues that could have been addressed without upgrading the processors are not being addressed.

  • rickysuezo Ricky Suezo (@rickysuezo) reported

    @Djjoe1165Aaron @CaptainGlack @NintendoAmerica It has really bad frame rate issues in dense areas.

  • SockTalking A Talking Sock (@SockTalking) reported

    WAY overdue for a price drop. Nintendo has been on a very concerning decline since the switch generation started, but they'll never have to address their issues or get better if their own customers buy or defend everything they do because "how dare people have expectations "

  • MrBLTs Brett (@MrBLTs) reported

    @elbethium @MldGhost @_JaY_R0ck_ Again at the end of the 12 months, that 4 you just spoke of will still be 4 lol. Xbox and Nintendo in that same time frame will have more. Sorry you can’t accept that. Not my problem. Again bye bye little kid.

  • vagrantaidan Aidan (@vagrantaidan) reported

    @DJK1NG_Gaming Well I mean if you're buying a console for a better screen it sort of implies that you want better visuals. I do agree with you though so idk why nintendo made this revision instead of working on something more substantial like joycons or just improving their online service

  • sHaBaNgUh sHaBaNgUh (@sHaBaNgUh) reported

    I'm up for an all cloud service. If companies concentrate on improving their cloud/online services, it'll help fight the resellers of next gen consoles. But honestly would just love for Nintendo to improve their switch/SNES/nes online

  • Zaktryx Zaktryx (@Zaktryx) reported

    @discord Why a broken gamecube? Where's the NINTENDO SIXTY FOUUUUURR

  • Palamation1 Palamation (@Palamation1) reported

    @SockTalking I largely play docked and my connection to the internet isn’t a problem, Nintendo’s crappy servers are. So this new Switch is meaningless to me.

  • BluSatire PettySatire 🏁🐍 (@BluSatire) reported

    @chancletamangu They don’t need it tho , the exclusives help the value of playstion same for Nintendo and playstion now is a subscription service that is actually good that ppl don’t give enough credit for. Xbox had to do gamepass. That’s the difference

  • chancletamangu chancleta (@chancletamangu) reported

    @BluSatire I feel you on those points, but I’m someone who thinks even Nintendo will do it one day. People made these same arguments for the iTunes Store and even Disney thought so highly of themselves that they didn’t need a service. Now look at that landscape. Xbox is changing it here.

  • castlexchan Greem Ambassador💚 (@castlexchan) reported

    Is there a way to mute people complaining about Nintendo's EVERY move? Cause I'm tired of broken records Like I have some criticisms too but y'all are hating on Nintendo like a clout chaser

  • ShwammItUp 👍🏾ShwammItUp✊🏾 (@ShwammItUp) reported

    @BluSatire Not at all homie I feel like Nintendo and Sony games sell regardless. They don't have to sell a service because people buy the games.

  • I_Warden Warden (@I_Warden) reported

    @oliverbcampbell Problem is, Nintendo is the only console company willing to change up their controller design.

  • ItzVCiPz V-CiPz™‏ (@ItzVCiPz) reported

    @TonyWheatley4 @DreamcastGuy Yeah, AND Nintendo makes large profits off hardware while Sony and Microsoft sell consoles at a loss. Nintendo knows smart business, Sony & Microsoft have other means of revenue so taking the hit isn't an issue for them.

  • tyrielane T* (@tyrielane) reported

    @gum_mp3 now imagine lagging with nintendo servers on smash 😭

  • Dashishen Shen (@Dashishen) reported

    @discord i could do with that broken gamecube it'll fit nicely with the nintendo switch my brother broke a year prior

  • Neoxon619 Nabil #BLM #StopAsianHate (@Neoxon619) reported

    @CartridgeGames Oh yeah, I think the PC version had the same issue, but it was patched before launch. I guess the time needed for Nintendo to certify the patch is a bit longer, so it’ll be out later.
