  • pasta_wheat Quarantined Box of Wheat Pasta (@pasta_wheat) reported

    @NintendoFanGirl I know companies are in business to make money, but there is a difference in making money and constantly squeezing a customer for as much as they can as often as they can. Keep online free, bring back the Virtual Console, and create a Game Pass like service for Nintendo [4]

  • Mechavarice Wes 🔞 (@Mechavarice) reported

    @Spiteri316 3DS and WiiU eshops are not an option. Nintendo took them down And regardless of whether or not we buy it Nintendo has been piss poor at handling this emulation service. Also those of us saying we’re not gonna but it are being treated like we’re the ******** for expecting better

  • Laprisu Christian @ MEX Berlin (October 2021) (@Laprisu) reported

    @NintendoDE @Nintendo @NintendoAmerica FIX YOUR SERVERS FOR ANDROID DEVICES ALREADY. Fire Emblem Heroes and other things have been down for MULTIPLE HOURS already. 7 HOURS to be exact. WE. WANT. TO. PLAY.

  • JulsJuliankim Julian Kim (@JulsJuliankim) reported

    @PaBiibo @loveforwaluigi @pokemas_game Well I noticed that. I hope Nintendo will fix that issues soon.

  • birdyousocrazy Alb (@birdyousocrazy) reported

    @stephentotilo Coincidentally, I did the same today. I've been itching to play Metroid Prime trilogy again after Dread, so I decided to check that out. The problem is that I feel like holding out for when Nintendo FINALLY decides to release the rumored port of it on Switch

  • Gadzookie4500 Gadzookie (@Gadzookie4500) reported

    @anish_fish @BoctorOctopus @NintendoAmerica Dude, there's people like me who don't even own animal crossing so yeah, I'm paying for a service I won't get to use. I'm getting scammed here

  • Toriyori1 Tori_yori (@Toriyori1) reported

    @CGuedet @Pocket_Camp Welcome in this mess. Nintendo mobile games servers are having terrible and no one can login on Android device

  • ExoRainn Rainn (@ExoRainn) reported

    @KiffyMcSchiffy dont worry, literally all other nintendo mobile games are facing this issue so there has to be some sort of compensation

  • nerdgasrnz Sarcelle | CHAMPION LAEGJARN IN NOVEMBER?! 🔥❤ (@nerdgasrnz) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @FE_Heroes_EN thank you very much for having absolutely zero advice for your players on how to deal with the outage of your game. Had to reinstall it on my phone to get it to work >_>

  • scorchrend the source of evil (@scorchrend) reported

    nintendo if u dont fix this on time for reset i am about to fix your servers myself

  • Toriyori1 Tori_yori (@Toriyori1) reported

    @MaxNevralgiques @Pocket_Camp @NintendoAmerica Nintendo mobile games' servers are down for some reasons but only on Android devices. No one can login and we just receive this error message whenever we try. It's been going on for hours now

  • ExpansionLord Ryusoulger (@ExpansionLord) reported

    @DrPPJMD_NE It's funny how the community what's support and some semblance of sympathy but they'll pull this **** no problem. Quite frankly this treatment toward Kels and Vikki is worse then anything I've seen Nintendo do, hell I hear Nintendo treated them pretty well at events.

  • rexmagic6 Rexmagic (@rexmagic6) reported

    @DragaliaLostApp is there any word from nintendo about these server issues yet? its been quite a bit of time.

  • ShanaAkemi DOHC 16V (@ShanaAkemi) reported

    It's really embaressing how much Nintendo wants to charge for online service (especially with the new expansion +) with all the issues that come with these outdated and under-equipped servers... The PS3 offered a better online service AND STILL DOES than Switch online...

  • maysp Sherill Prentice (@maysp) reported

    My game is not working. Does anyone knows Y? NINTENDO WHAT IS GOING on to the Pocket Camp game. We all was working on the FISHING TOURNAMENT. PLEASE LET USE ALL KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IS IT A Maintenance Or is it a program Direct problem. ??????

  • SPR1NGEP roxi (@SPR1NGEP) reported

    what's wrong with the games fix them @NintendoAmerica

  • Jasper2944 jasper🎃 (@Jasper2944) reported

    nintendo honestly has to give massive compensation for this android bug thing 💀 this is one of the biggest issues they’ve had in a while

  • wartjr_acpc bring wart jr to pocket camp (@wartjr_acpc) reported

    @sleepylozzz as i understand it, it could be an issue with google rather than nintendo. either way its weird they havent mentioned it anywhere. i'd just like to know its being worked on and maybe get a timeframe or something so i can stop checking constantly 😭

  • zwafflezV3 Trans Lefts (@zwafflezV3) reported

    @Werehogunleash @goldsonikku Emulation isn't a crime period, Nintendo treats it as such and that makes others believe it is when piracy is the issue

  • FalcoLambda Dekaius 💀 (they/them) (@FalcoLambda) reported

    Google's anti-root software is (most likely) triggering a false positive in all of Nintendo's mobile games. This issue only affects Android OS, iOS users are fine. Dragalia's team is investigating the issue. No ETA for fix.

  • GhostlyLuigi Ghostly Gaming (@GhostlyLuigi) reported

    I feel that it's clear Nintendo could care less about our feedback. They will NOT budge because they are too greedy and stubborn. They have an ego and they're taking advantage. "Well were Nintendo so that means our service worth $20 maximum is now worth $50!"

  • TheNimanator TheScarinator - BlackLivesMatter | StopAsianHate (@TheNimanator) reported

    @DragonNexus Rumor has it the licensing of 3rd party games sparked this price hike. Who knows what Nintendo did to get Banjo-Kazooie onto this service…

  • 4EvrLuvsGaming 💫✨Mystic✨💫 (@4EvrLuvsGaming) reported

    @james_ferrari @GretaTheLittles 20 years IS definitely enough time! And absolutely no excuse for advancing with online services, when everyone else has been able to! Every console has issues. If people would be honest with themselves. THIS is Nintendo's issue.

  • skullgeist 🔞skullgeist🔞 Commissions: full (@skullgeist) reported

    nintendo's mobile games have been broken on android for i think 12 hours. you simply can't access them

  • renanbrumart Renan 🏳️‍🌈 & 🏛️ PaintTheTown (@renanbrumart) reported

    @MaccaMcLeod88 @nintendolife Piracy cannot be fought by being an executioner. Piracy is fought by offering quality and affordable service, that's not the case of Nintendo online service so....

  • glitterwaifulol Camilla (@glitterwaifulol) reported

    @crossingmomo I think Nintendo should focus on making their online service better

  • NokiBayBombing masomnbsnm (@NokiBayBombing) reported

    Me with my iPhone waiting for nintendo to roll out compensation for a problem which didn’t affect me
