Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LilyBilly998 LilyBilly!!!!!! (@LilyBilly998) reported

    Also can't wait for Nintendo to reveal that one annoying/inconvenient feature that's like all their games but isn't a big enough problem to where you wouldn't purchase the game just an annoyance :)

  • Phillip91gamer Phillip Martin (@Phillip91gamer) reported

    @TheHorizonsCall its because that all they see as soon as they go on the new releases section. psn store has become early steam days of shovelware. but sadly even xbox and nintendo have the same problem

  • PurpleTurtle246 purple turtle (@PurpleTurtle246) reported

    @Anime_Dingo @NintendoAmerica How is this not a problem with Xbox and PlayStation? What are they doing that Nintendo isnt?

  • Carnivol Stian Schultz (@Carnivol) reported

    Peculari Nintendo Switch issue. Neither WiFi nor Bluetooth works. On 13.0.0 it'd just fail to connect to established networks. Updated to 14.X.X, it now just instantly spits out error code 2110-1118. If I format, or cold boot, WiFi/BT sometimes works briefly. Heat issue?🤔

  • WhiteLOmega Plain Simple Jim (@WhiteLOmega) reported

    @LoveRetroBTW It has its issues but it always has. I mean from the start let's not forget the video game crash or Nintendo holding such tight control over the market, Trying to end renting, broken games with no hope of being fixed, it was hard to know what you were going to get.

  • TheNintendNub64 TheNub64 (@TheNintendNub64) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Wait what? I'm sorry I just woke up (I think) and am still having trouble discerning dreams from reality. Is this real?

  • WavePrism_ diddy (COMMS: 3/6 LEFT) (@WavePrism_) reported

    @KelziniFinalMix i blame NSO becoming a paid service because the first year of the game's life was completely fine imo for nintendo online standards anyway

  • SmoggyLamb49 SmoggyLamb is running up that hill (@SmoggyLamb49) reported

    Also @NintendoAmerica, quit saying I'm not connected to a network when MY INTERNET WORKS. Then, why am I up here yelling at you about this and that issue?

  • haide023 Syed Haider (@haide023) reported

    @xxAriAA_ @Giuuliaannoo @NintendoAmerica At some point you have to acknowledge that is a problem with you, not them. Consider playing games that are not Mario or Zelda, please.

  • inFinit36525299 Spartan P.B.G (@inFinit36525299) reported

    @Ayemucker Depends on how long you game. 4 hours isn't sufficient when you play mostly on weekends and at night and lord forbid you don't keep it docked. Bigger problem is my Nintendo pro and xbox Elite Controllers get 40-50 hours of use between charges. sony needs to up the battery

  • ryan_lucas55 Ryan ''Big Sexy'' Cleasby (@ryan_lucas55) reported

    @NintendoUK Please fix the camera on Sky-High Sundae it's borderline unplayable

  • APZonerunner Alex Donaldson (@APZonerunner) reported

    @Valcristerra Yeah; people like you obviously are not the problem (though ofc Nintendo would frown on you having it early, but that's not an issue in the grand scheme if you're not spreading spoilers etc). But not everybody is like you!

  • Verscuse 🏳️‍🌈 James 🏳️‍🌈 (@Verscuse) reported

    @gobshitechris @jsmithjnr Nintendo should repair joycon drift. It is a very well known issue

  • CAROLlNACROWN sybil 🦋 (@CAROLlNACROWN) reported

    @baconplasm it’s why i specifically bought a third party pro controller. at least with joycons you can physically fix them yourself or send them to nintendo but with a pro controller you’re kinda ****** :/

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 383 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Carl39412760 Carl (@Carl39412760) reported

    @mariokarttourEN I pay for the monthly gold pass but I lost my iCloud login details. I logged into my Nintendo account on my new phone/iCloud but it won’t give the the gold benefits. There’s no contact details and it’s been impossible to get hold of you. I need it either transferred or cancelled

  • brianAkademik Motaka (@brianAkademik) reported

    @GreyBeardRL I bought two Nintendo Pro Controllers LAST MONTH and for me it’s the same issue, the analog sticks give gave out! I got the DualSense, kinda testing it out and I don’t know how long it’s gonna last me. I prefer the Pro Controller over it. It’s Rocket League!

  • MegaTenhoe_ Rindo™️ (@MegaTenhoe_) reported

    @Shulkisgood @NintendoAmerica idk if its just me being tired but how would rollback netcode work in a shooter game...? dedicated servers would just fix the connection issues during Splatfests

  • FrostyB08259620 FrostyBoi (@FrostyB08259620) reported

    @rjbeasterw98 @monsterhunter "Capcom fix my nintendo console that you didn't manufacture"

  • BugMadness BugBear Madness (@BugMadness) reported

    @VorpalDerringer @NintendoAmerica Good question. To be fair, this is a "free" offering through their online service. I certainly wouldn't have bought it through the eShop.

  • BlossomPieArts BlossomPie (@BlossomPieArts) reported

    Need to get a new micro SD card for my Nintendo switch because mine is corrupted for some reason??? Any advice on how to fix it so I don’t have to buy a new one?

  • Carnivol Stian Schultz (@Carnivol) reported

    Peculiar Nintendo Switch issue. Neither WiFi nor Bluetooth works. On 13.0.0 it'd just fail to connect to established networks. Updated to 14.X.X, it now just instantly spits out error code 2110-1118. If I format, or cold boot, WiFi/BT sometimes works briefly. Heat issue?🤔

    @Gamechamp3k @kiwidotmtf Two main things One, I believe that would cause issues with Nintendo. Two, it sounds more like a platformer game with the Warner siblings rather than a platform fighter.

  • euqet01di Père Noël 🇺🇲 (@euqet01di) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Will they fix the terrible matchmaking? Probably not.

  • ddraighouse Ella @ Ddraig House (@ddraighouse) reported

    Our latest update for Dragon Caffi is going up to Nintendo today for LotCheck! Sorry this fix has taken so long; we’ve been finding a way to make sure the inventory system doesn’t get scrambled with this update, which is a whole other story. Hopefully the new fix will be up soon.

  • Qqq96916640 Justin Castro (@Qqq96916640) reported

    @ThomasDrance @MarcMethot3 @NintendoAmerica That's why you lurk in 2/3rd, hit every power up, collect red shells, do work. That game has zero issue with giving 3 red shells to the person in second, twice in a row

  • Junior8708 VizardSpideyNoir (@Junior8708) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia did you know Nintendo allows you to reach customer service via text and they solve your issues that way, it was great.

  • Team17Help Team17 Help (@Team17Help) reported

    @inartaly Hello! We are sorry to hear that you're having issues with Overcooked! All You Can Eat. Is this problem occurring with level 1-4? Can you please try to clear your Nintendo Switch cache? - System Settings > System > Formatting Options > Clear Cache

  • bigbeandotgov SOUND SHOCK (@bigbeandotgov) reported

    @GregorArnott Its mostly pretty neat and I love the visuals but I dont think I've seen a first party internal nintendo thing have that amount of technical problems before

  • MegaTenhoe_ Rindo™️ (@MegaTenhoe_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica AND DEDICATED SERVERS I WANT TO ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME AT SPLATFEST TIME NOT DISCONNECT EVERY 5 MINUTES
