Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • n4th4n_a yo 🇨🇦 (@n4th4n_a) reported

    @Fabulous_Yoshi @Jiikae If you have THIS MUCH expectations for one Nintendo direct or from Nintendo at E3, please don’t be surprised if you are disappointed. (Plus rumour is crash bandicoot is the new character, not confirmed tho)

  • brogan_live Brogan (@brogan_live) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Gameboy advance for the NSO service?

  • jaimeap_ Doctorino (@jaimeap_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I had my arm broken, my mom showed up with the GBA and golden sun’s tittle. I spend the next 2 months playing it and then I knew this was my things

  • T800Has2Legs Kev (@T800Has2Legs) reported

    Hey @NintendoUK you gonna fix error code 2123-1502 any time soon? You see I like my consoles to actually run games

  • real_pixel_nut Pixel Nut Studio (@real_pixel_nut) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Are we about to get GBA games on switch online service?!

  • EmpyreanHeaven Eric Jones (@EmpyreanHeaven) reported

    @Ravenuwuwu @Jiikae "Makes sense" Again, the issue. A lot of things Nintendo should do at E3 make sense. But that's no reason to assume they will actually do those things.

  • LightBlueSquid 🦑★Gustavo★ツ🦑🇧🇷 (@LightBlueSquid) reported

    @RedDasherCAS Oh yeah, that issue. I still hope Nintendo can fix it tho.

  • Shiiigu Shiiigu but Gay 🏳️‍🌈 (@Shiiigu) reported

    @Nova2127u @iKONIK_ex @LazyZach23 That's not true, Nintendo will smack you down with a ban for even as something as small as booting CFW. The safest way to stay unbanned is to disconnect from the internet entirely and use something like Incognito to completely remove any telemetry. I had to learn the hard way.

  • broskiplays_ BroskiPlays 🜏 (@broskiplays_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Better make this anniversary special by making gba games available on the Nintendo Switch Online Service!!

  • DraiochtEve Draiocht 🍊🍓 (@DraiochtEve) reported

    I do still kinda miss when Nintendo did live E3s on stage even if it was riddled with technical issues. But there was something so magical about it.

  • EliseCrossley Elise 🖤💫 (@EliseCrossley) reported

    @gingerkaratejoe @NintendoUK Is yours still not working?

  • Velocitylmaoo Velocity (@Velocitylmaoo) reported

    @NintendoAmerica How about fix the damn firmware update problems

  • phoebealyssa01 pheebs (@phoebealyssa01) reported

    @DragonTimaeus @FortniteStatus issue with nintendo and not fn, clear cache if you can and check again, it’s worked for some people, i’m still having issues though

  • SquidSquadMixer MixerBlaze 🇹🇼 (@SquidSquadMixer) reported

    @DaniellePartis The article on about E3 has a couple errors, such as saying that Nintendo will reveal exclusively "hardware." Also the dates are wrong, as the show doesn't go all the way till July 22 (which is also not a Thursday). It goes until Tuesday the 15th.

  • LetsSWITCHGames Let's SWITCH Games (@LetsSWITCHGames) reported

    @Ty_Ler45 I have the same issues you have, just spoke to Nintendo UK and apparently Nintendo Japan is aware of the issues and are working on a fix.

  • RockmanNagasaki Rockman Nagasaki (@RockmanNagasaki) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I miss playing on my game boy advance. Too bad the screen is broken

  • TheGuyWhoGotAw1 T.O.G. (CEO of Hero in Smash Ultimate) (@TheGuyWhoGotAw1) reported

    @NintendoUK I've updated my switch to the latest before you eventually took it back. Now that 12.0.3 is out for everyone, I'm still experiencing issues with downloading games that I previously uninstalled. I just get an error message. What should I do?

  • Carl_Kappa Karl (@Carl_Kappa) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The one that's on Nintendo switch online's paid service ... ...Oh, right

  • DragonTimaeus DragonTimaeus (@DragonTimaeus) reported

    @FortniteStatus It's not updating for me on Nintendo Switch, I keep getting errors

  • MattMyles16 Matt Myles (@MattMyles16) reported

    @IntroSpecktive Yeah this got me in trouble a lot as a kid. Nintendo owes me compensation for all the groundings.

  • EliseCrossley Elise 🖤💫 (@EliseCrossley) reported

    @fruitandnut21 @NintendoUK Nice to know I’m not the only one having this problem but the lack of support from Nintendo is annoying

  • kirbyfan45 Kirbyfan45 #LocalizePuyoPuyoChronicle #blm (@kirbyfan45) reported

    @1128_Lizzie Man… Hopefully Nintendo issues the patch soon

  • rojodrawsmaybe ||Rojo 7500|| (@rojodrawsmaybe) reported

    why did nintendo never send out a new patch fixing there issues i think my switch is broken now great

  • kyle_hyde3 Kyle Hyde (@kyle_hyde3) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please give us GBA games for Nintendo Switch Online. The service is really bad and needs more perks. My subscription is expiring next week and I will not renew.

  • Zeek33284979 Zeek (@Zeek33284979) reported

    @NintendoAmerica part 2/2 from last tweet idk if i did something to fix mine or nintendo just got there servers back up funny how it started working, right when i was about to go bob mode (boy version of karens) and complain to nintendo abt, it but apparently im not the only one.

  • 1Jus_ 😐. (@1Jus_) reported

    @NoisyPixelNews Corpse Party might shadow drop at Nintendo's show. It came out months ago w/full English text (not sure of it's quality) but only in Japan w/o a word about a U.S. release. Unless voice acting was planned or licencing issues were involved it's strange to not be out here already.

  • Isaac95994801 Isaac (@Isaac95994801) reported

    @nintendo can you tell me what to do... I cant update my switch it days error like all the time. Is there anything I can do?

  • dannyphantomdi1 dannyphantomdinosaurvideogamefan (@dannyphantomdi1) reported

    @Inkmiguel2 @Sora_Sakurai shantae and sora will be the last 2 dlc fighters, all the other characters will either remain only as spirits, get a mii costume or not get in at all, crash will never be allowed into smash bros ever because Nintendo will not allow it

  • SageWarriorKess James Leo-Blade 👑 (@SageWarriorKess) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Putting all your old games on sale rather then locking them behind an online subscription service!

  • MushKinPuff Serena (@MushKinPuff) reported

    @NintendoAmerica My first memory was literally just that it introduced me to video games. My cousin had a Crash / Spyro double cartridge. She let me play it, and I was so mesmerized by just the existence of it. She gave me that GBA SP, and I lost the charger, so threw out the device cuz it died.
