Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JTownley950710 FameOnFire (@JTownley950710) reported

    @JakeGlobox Is the dumbest and biggest rip off ever developed. The worst customer service and the app never gets proper maintenance or updates. Like playing over hyped and priced Nintendo games… Roblox can go kick rocks!

  • SlGHFl Sigh-Fi (@SlGHFl) reported

    god i really hope it's possible for nintendo to release an acnh patch that reduces the ******* LAG created by too many items in one place :/ it really sucks not being able to decorate my island how i want to because it causes my switch to chug like it's about to die

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • DouglyTruth The Dougly Truth (@DouglyTruth) reported

    @NoGravity_Games @NintendoAmerica Same problem for me. Comes in at full price.

  • TheEthanTurtle TheEthanTurtle (@TheEthanTurtle) reported

    @Foxy_Prower @NintendoAmerica Pretty much same thing happened to me the past 3 times I've tried using myNintendo points. They take the points and immediately tell me that the coupon is expired. I always require manual assistance to get my items to my cart. They need to fix their site for sure.

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix the N64 games.

  • GamesNMoorer Joseph M. Moorer (@GamesNMoorer) reported

    @Metalik_ @sylveon_irl I don't remember Nintendo acting like Joycon Drift wasn't a problem. They released it in 2017. It became a program to fix said joycons by them in 2019. 2 years. Still a long time...but not 4. And I believe Microsoft just made a new version of their system.

  • ZadeHart Zade🎃Hart (@ZadeHart) reported

    @ZeldaUniverse And just like usual the website won't let me purchase it. @NintendoAmerica you need to fix this.

  • lordcutty13 launchpad mcquack (@lordcutty13) reported

    @gustarenck @RexProfessor @TheAbsol i just looked up switch year in review and on their site you can login to your nintendo account to pull it up!

  • maxterdragon Mike (@maxterdragon) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix the N64 games.

  • ItsNeon2401 Vanilla Bean Neon - Whole (@ItsNeon2401) reported

    @Zalli_Walli The issue is the value at hand LA doesn't add enough to be priced a full $60 and the expansion pack adds quite minimal content to be paying 250% especially considering the emulation quality, which Nintendo did better on the Wii The issue isn't the idea it's the execution

  • Yanksfan_03 Chris (@Yanksfan_03) reported

    @Wyrdness1 I knew there were some issues with Nintendo but didn't know the full story. Interesting. Still think MS would've been wise to take the risk and put the game on Xbox but of course, hindsight is 20/20.

  • KayFi0S KayFiOS (@KayFi0S) reported

    @SixersOctavian @Atlus_West The problem is Atlus is a Japanese game company, and in Japan, the Xbox has always underperformed compared to Nintendo and PlayStation systems, so it makes sense why they would view the Xbox as an unviable platform for their games.

  • Bagtrash0 Mastersword_05 (@Bagtrash0) reported

    @Globku Mr. @Globku there is currently an issue in #MHOJ2 in the nintendo switch version, the safe files well.. don’t save, i see no one reporting this or talking about it... idk if you can help sending a message to the comunity to help report it!. Thx and sorry for the weird comment.

  • sylveon_irl Melody the Sylveon (@sylveon_irl) reported

    @El_Omar2203 @SmashinStar64 true, but on the flipside microsoft at least was a little less ****** about acknowledging and fixing the problem than nintendo has. its all "big corporations being ******" to me

  • dankopus Dr. T.I.M. (@dankopus) reported

    @sylveon_irl I'll actually defend the red ring of death because where as nintendo sweeps joycon drift under the rug as a non issue microsoft replaced any and all red ringed xboxes no questions asked for free with free shipping that cost them millions of dollars, Which...That's respect.

  • immagonnaget2 Riko saikawa immagonna2 rp pikapool lover 💖💖💖💖 (@immagonnaget2) reported

    @Elgritto1 That’s it! You said what I think! The problem isn’t for me that those games exist though I don’t think they’re games it’s that people act like Nintendo games can’t exist and have to be like that

  • nescartridges ⛄ pipca ⛄ (@nescartridges) reported

    Nintendo Twitter accounts talk like customer service workers

  • NickCaride Nick Caride (@NickCaride) reported

    @leoscordilis Superstars was a direct remake of classic Mario Party games. Dread was a sequel to a 35 year old franchise, done in the exact style as the original. And they're selling their premium online service off the power of N64 ports. Nintendo is the nostalgia king.

  • dankopus Dr. T.I.M. (@dankopus) reported

    @PlantRulz @sylveon_irl But when the problem was first occuring nintendo was more than happy with pretending like it was never a problem and if anything this serious manufacturing flaw was just making them more money from people buying replacements.

  • xuuepa uuepa (@xuuepa) reported

    @FERMOR_23 @SpawnWaveMedia Problem was that Sony wanted rights over all games since they used their tech, that was an impossible deal for nintendo.

  • CrocoDylian Croco Dylian🐊 | En/Es Vtuber 🇨🇱 | HORNY 🔞 (@CrocoDylian) reported

    @verge Imagine Nintendo sold posters of the joy-con drift, or of a broken TV cause bad Wiimote cord

  • PlatinumPequod Efren Castaneda (@PlatinumPequod) reported

    @zincink @oculus I’ve never had a problem with my eyes using VR, but I do recommend taking breaks every now and then, unlike Nintendo’s weird break policy, this one does give you like a funny feeling if prolonged use

  • sylveon_irl Melody the Sylveon (@sylveon_irl) reported

    @El_Omar2203 @SmashinStar64 true, but on the flipside microsoft at least was a little less ****** about acknowledging and fixing the problem than nintendo has been. but shrug, its all "big corporations being ******" to me

  • bgcss12 BGCSS12 (@bgcss12) reported

    @NintendoUnity Hey, I have some friends who are having this same issue. Did you get it resolved by joining an MCN or did YouTube reinstate ads? Thanks for your time, Nintendo Unity.

  • maxterdragon Mike (@maxterdragon) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix the N64 games.

  • thebrreadfulpie pie 🌙 (@thebrreadfulpie) reported

    @witchoflunacy i don’t think gamefreak is as small as everyone thinks but yes i agree that the devtime is a problem. don’t know who enforces the release date? nintendo? gamefreak themself? whoever does is the one at fault for why it’s not as polished as it could be

  • mazamuno 𓆩🎔𓆪 (@mazamuno) reported

    @tsurudraws man if i could access my SWSH umbreon i'd have no problem... that ****** is a beast 😭 i can't wait to put my hands on that team again, nintendo give me pokemon home support

  • XCrixus13 Crixus13 (@XCrixus13) reported

    @NintendoAmerica why do people look to pokemon for peak graphics? if i recall they all looked average and no one cared whats the problem now they look fine for nintendo lol im confused

  • SomieStuff Chistmas and Something 🎄 (@SomieStuff) reported

    @dysphoria_chan @NintendoAmerica There’s another problem in the penguin town that does the same thing
