Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • bhootna_rooney Rooney (@bhootna_rooney) reported

    @Creeeper_ @Woahsket @FitzyLeakz Doubt Nintendo would be able to support that with only 30fps the game would crash or overheat the switch

  • MonikaCinnyRoll Monika - Twitch Partner (@MonikaCinnyRoll) reported

    @Raptorkitty Still unknown, but Nintendo apparently had to manually resolve the issue along with an unknown amount of other players.

  • ZacharyUngles Zachary Ungles (@ZacharyUngles) reported

    If Snowboard kids 2 doesn't come to the Nintendo switch's N64 online service, I will riot. You hear me Nintendo?! There are dozens of us!

  • silxw Silow (@silxw) reported

    @DisneyDLV What about Nintendo Switch crashes?! My game crash like 4-5 times in 1 hour!! Fix the crashes, before fixing anything else. The game is gameless/playless.

  • Anthony_is_AFK Anthony_is_AFK (@Anthony_is_AFK) reported

    @The_KingOfTrash Yeah honestly that seems like something nintendo would rather do, and also a lot of the fan concepts have way to many glitch effects, and I feel like nintendo doesn't want to give people seizures, I mean just look at the 3ds it had a billion different warnings for seizures

  • OSAnimated Dat Dude (@OSAnimated) reported

    @SinfulTre Call Nintendo and set up a repair ticket. Idk how much it would cost but my personal experience with their customer service was top tier.

  • McFinnaPants Dave but like, spooky and stuff (@McFinnaPants) reported

    Nintendo still thinks like a toy company, which is why you need to constantly replace broken peripherals and accessories.

  • toonsplats your local ultimate shiver simp!! 💙 (@toonsplats) reported

    @toonyliv nintendo keeps giving me communication errors 😭😭

  • TheCraftOfGames Fernando Cid Tio (@TheCraftOfGames) reported

    @sami_odyssey Whats the problem with exclusives? There wouldn't be a console market without exclusives, there have been a thing since the start of this business. Without them, Nintendo wouldn't be a thing, neither PlayStation.

  • squarooticus Kyle Rose (@squarooticus) reported

    @annabunches Ergo: they don't demand it, so Nintendo doesn't offer it. This is very different from the metric system, which had organized industrial opposition to adoption of national legislation. That analogy is what I am taking issue with.

  • mrowomi nae the *** bae 🎗 official grizzco employee (@mrowomi) reported

    Please tell me the insane lag I just got was Nintendo's servers and not seitch?

  • Nintendogtor Nintendogtor (@Nintendogtor) reported

    @gameloft Disney Dreamlight Valley freezes every time I try and collect my garden veg- please fix!!! This is new since the last patch @NintendoAmerica @BeatemupsWood

  • CrossingMinute Crossing Minute (@CrossingMinute) reported

    Recently I realized that I haven't turned on either of my Switch consoles in awhile. If I don't stream Animal Crossing, I don't use them. Now I think I'm having trust issues with Nintendo. Specifically, the longevity of my ever growing digital game library...

  • Tailslover20021 🦊𝓣𝓪𝓲𝓵𝓼𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓐𝓻𝓽𝓼🦊 (@Tailslover20021) reported

    @fallguyssupport Sorry for tweeting this, because I don't know where I gotta go on your website to report a thing on switch. Problem: The Nintendo Switch version keeps randomly crashing whenever a round is loading or if a round is busy. Can you please fix this?

  • realAwwa RealAwwa (@realAwwa) reported

  • Co27_Official Alex Cobalt (@Co27_Official) reported from West Covina, California

    @Glennkinz @N_Officialstore Try using a shipping service, I could DM you the one I use. I don't know if they have Nintendo listed as an available store yet.

  • LuLuCatcher Lu (@LuLuCatcher) reported

    @Nintenlo @NintendoAmerica Same! Packages have been having issues here recently and I’m scared it got sent out and I never got it. People keep saying “it just showed up one day” and that makes me nervous. Of course super fans like us have to deal with this lmao

  • ChicagoLyfe84 SAUCE BAE (@ChicagoLyfe84) reported

    @Main_Valkyrie_ We playing it on Gamepass this shows only people who purchased not people who played. If Sony or Nintendo where able to have a comparable service. The numbers would be similar.

  • philtheclaret Phil Graham (@philtheclaret) reported

    @ForeverEntert when are you going to fix Train Station Renovation on the Nintendo Switch? For some reason I can't place a toilet in room in Cleanville.

    @SplatArashi I love them a lot. I played them a decent bit in 2 and actually got some sick plays but in 3 they just feel off. We need to start a petition for Nintendo to buff brella and fix its glitches and inconsistencies.

  • SenpaiJayy Jay 🌸 (@SenpaiJayy) reported
