SUPA SKILTZ (@SSkiltz) reported@NintendoAmerica Nintendo’s online service may just go from internet explorer to fire fox
-
A Blob (@AnotherBlob) reported@RobbieHaruna @NintendoUK I still think it's definitely possible to at least save a temporary online savefile for everyone once a minigame of each round is over. Then, you'd only restart from the round where the communication error occured. ...I'd also quicksave after each dice roll but that's just me.

-
Polarthief (@Polarthief) reportedNintendo: We're making Super Mario Party online. Me: Way too little way too late, should have been in base, but I'm glad this means the future of Mario Party will have online from the get-go... ...right Nintendo? PS: Super Mario Party is bad anyway. Online doesn't fix it.

Mak Tora - Fortnite News 📰 (@mak_tora) reported@epicshark246 Yeah I wish I could do them now but there is login issues on Nintendo and I can't play the game 😕

TRiPPY (@imagni) reportedanyone experiencing weird Nintendo Switch problems rn where it's flagging your console as the wrong region and giving you log in attempts that look like a hacker but are just yourself?? Our Switch is coming up as USA log ins but our password hasn't actually been compromised >_>;

Therandomshadow (@Therandomshado1) reported@FortniteGame FORTNITE 16.30 VER FOR NINTENDO SWITCH IS BROKEN!!!!!!!!
-
Ookaze BioACobol (@Ookaze0) reported@macedo_tyler @jacob_ultimate @Nibellion Who's complaining about the game's success? Not Nintendo and not the millions of people that bought it and still buy it. Nintendo's annual financial report is next week. Also, the new online infrastructure wasn't ready (was ready for MHR launch). Cheaters are the biggest problem.
-
squishy forté (@ThatForte) reported@Nibellion Oooo. I wonder if this adds more credibility to the rumors about Nintendo fixing their server issues/putting more focus into their online content (NSO, the server updates, etc)
-
CopyGamer🔞 (@CopyGamer2) reported@lyko00137 If Nintendo online isn't lagging for 5 minutes
-
ThatNormie (@normie_dude) reported@FortniteGame I’m not sure if I’m the only one getting this problem, but i can’t log in my game (on Nintendo Switch) cause it keeps checking for updates? And this has been going on since after the new update.
-
Bartosz (@Bartosz31921785) reported@FortniteGame please fix uptade on nintendo switch
-
Rayyan (@Rayyan42129704) reported@iFireMonkey Is the bug fix on nintendo switch that does not let you go play the new update?!??
-
BSVBLVito (@bsvbl) reported@FortniteStatus Well I don’t really care cause I can’t play I think you should fix Nintendo first
-
☀️Elio☀️ (@AlolanExplorer) reported@NintendoUK If only you’d fix the actual online service. $20 a year and it shows
-
WallStaple🧢 (@WallStaple) reportedYou know, cause they would've made so much dosh if they advertised it in a mini Direct or something. Also you already know it's gonna have a bunch of stuttering and input lag even if you're all wired, cause that's the Nintendo Switch Online Experience™
-
??? days until botw 2 (@Zacadak) reported@jstep32x @NintendoAmerica I live near all my friends so I’ve never had an issue. Poor you
-
👑Carl⚡ (@Taser9001) reported@wiredfire @NintendoUK Massive difference between extra content being added, or something being added later to iron out issues first. Why only add online now, 2 and half years after release? Just seems like a way to get attention and boost sales.
