Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Dal_ayy Dal_ayy (@Dal_ayy) reported

    @Cloudy1C @Final8oss @ModernVintageG You're part of the problem corporate boot licker He made no money off it and Nintendo unlike other publishers don't put the music on other streaming platforms, if you want to listen to the music then you have to play the games He was offering a service Nintendo didn't for free

  • MaseAgentX MaseAgentX (@MaseAgentX) reported

    @RPGoblin @HMKilla Mostly ppl play lan and if it lagging on lan then its Nintendo

  • LillyLiliaceae ||🌸🍭||~Lilly Liliaceae™~||🍰🛍|| (@LillyLiliaceae) reported

    @stormatom33 Well we both know Nintendo has a port problem, I don’t think they care if the port actually makes sense. Which explain why a lot of Wii U ports feel out of place Although I admit it’s kinda weird, the port did a lot for Miis and there customization, why drop that so soon?

  • rredmerA rd (@rredmerA) reported

    @imtrynapipefr if the nintendo drum gets the job done as a different experience with not much issue, ill just get that. im not in love with the gamemode its just for trying something different and changing the pace

  • aphickey263 Andrew (@aphickey263) reported

    @slubber_nl @PlatinumPequod @FalKoopa_ Nah it happened to people who bought it and was an issue during the 3ds days theres a reason people hate him but are more blinded by pure Nintendo hate

  • ESimplyJ Simply JeeJ ylpimS (@ESimplyJ) reported

    @HubbExpress @Lemmy_Ok The main issue is that Nintendo publically thanked whatever part of the Gov it was for doing that. So fans are either licking Nintendo boot or defending the other guy despite what he did (personally I'm nuetral cus I think they both suck)

  • TheGreenViper8 Viper (@TheGreenViper8) reported

    @CircuitBird To my knowledge, Nintendo do indeed have a bug bounty program that pays you for reporting security flaws. The problem is that this guy actively stole the work of people who did that, commercialised it and advertised it as a device for piracy. That's pretty far over the line lol

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 206 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Pinacoin Pinakin (@Pinacoin) reported

    @koehrm @The_H_Nickel @nintendolife That’s another thing, I wish emulation was more morally accepted within the Nintendo fandom. It’s usually 13-17 year olds that are afraid of “getting in trouble” or whatever or think it’s immoral to do it. That mindset needs to be flipped around

  • YukiMX4 Yuki 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⛄ (@YukiMX4) reported

    @WaffulSyrup So if he's a despicable person, then **** him, yes. But there's a reason why they say justice is blind. Three problem is not whether Bowser was a good guy, NOBODY should be persecuted for cracking a console. Don't forget Nintendo keep sending yt takedowns to music videos 🤬

  • PaulLOnYouTube Paul (@PaulLOnYouTube) reported

    I bought the Switch at launch. Will Nintendo fix Joycons for free or should I just throw them in the bin & buy new?

  • DireDire_Docks Joel - D3 (@DireDire_Docks) reported

    @justme0406 @Nintendo I agree theres tons of issues regarding the technical performance and lack of polish. I still think it's a good direction for the Pokemon company to go in. They really need assistance from Nintendo to get that polish done especially if they can get assistance from Monolith Soft.

  • Daxank_live Daxank ➐ (@Daxank_live) reported

    So the MK8D DLC is included in the Online Expansion pack right? Man, if I don't have the AC DLC and this, that's a great deal! Yeah, it is a great deal... but it's Nintendo we're talking about, the expansion pack is a DLC renting service. So if you don't renew, you lose your DLC

  • ziggy_watson Simon Priest (@ziggy_watson) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp My Nintendo Wii won't find the signal from my Hub 3 box. Therefore I cannot wirelessly connect. After googling it this issue seems connect between Wii and Virgin Media. Any idea on how to fix this?

  • dark_kirb Charlotte 🦝 (rac/racs/racself/🦝/it) (@dark_kirb) reported

    @FalKoopa_ @kalosianlitten The problem nintendo had with team xecuter is the piracy, not the actually unethical bs

  • ArstotArt 📼The Curator💾 (@ArstotArt) reported

    @BusterRepukken @Kotaku “It’s fine to pirate Nintendo’s software, but if you pirate MY firmware, then we have a problem” -Xecuter, probably

  • nfrt_official Masataka Goto (@nfrt_official) reported

    I cleaned a junk Nintendo Switch Lite with alcohol. When the display and joystick arrive, I'll try putting it together, and if that doesn't fix it, I'll replace the BQ24193 chip.

  • Eh_h_hh Ehh... (@Eh_h_hh) reported

    @lIllIIlllIlIlII Its simply just that certain areas just arent ready for that service. Nintendo Cloud streaming initially started in japan where streaming games isnt an issue and its worked over there seemingly without issue.

  • JMonthemic GRANDMASTER J. MOORE (@JMonthemic) reported

    @Jason_Shetler Sega is going to be in real trouble when the Nintendo Playstation hits stores. #SWOP

  • phantomlantern Phantom Lantern (@phantomlantern) reported

    @NintendoUK why is it your policy to refuse a refund when the item hasn’t been downloaded or played if done in error? I’m disgusted at this.

  • 3FishAtFNC Fish N' Company (@3FishAtFNC) reported

    The issue isn't even over Martha is Dead, its why ******** Sony even censors games in the first place, what are they afraid of? Nintendo of all companies has Gal*Gun 2 on their store front. Stop being afraid Sony if Nintendo isn't.

  • fearthefairy99 Ruth Coppens 🎮 (@fearthefairy99) reported

    Like we play Valorant, Overwatch, Destiny, Genshin online and at the same time: no issues. The Switch needs to check if I have Nintendo Online so I can look at the games: boom, impossible

  • DoNotAskMe6 Chocolate Milky (@DoNotAskMe6) reported

    @Roblox Fix the servers, Theyre literally worse than a Nintendo switch

  • Arctic_Terra Brady Fleming (@Arctic_Terra) reported

    @TheKFCManagerr @harrylinlisacco @Kotaku The problem isn’t the fact that someone’s getting ounished for piracy, it’s the fact that someone lost three years of their life for losing a multi-billion dollar company money when a hefty fine would have worked. It’s a harsh sentance and Nintendo’s past of similar aggression.

  • echoesn64 Echoes (@echoesn64) reported

    @XxArtist I guess people really think Nintendo is trying to avoid fire on this one. Which maybe I can understand thinking that way; but it’s definitely not being held back solely because of that, even if it is an issue.

  • SA1tyspartan SA1TYSPARTAN (@SA1tyspartan) reported

    @NintendoUK I have been trying to book a repair online for the better part of a week and keep getting a message saying the site is experiencing technical problems. How am I supposed to book a repair???

  • BigLincolnLog Lil'LincolnLog (@BigLincolnLog) reported

    @star_neighbor @keithjohnstack @MrGuyTweets The issue here is how ******* grotesque their punishment is for a nonviolent crime, it comes off as petty coming from Nintendo considering how insanely profitable they are.

  • CiaraDukex Kiki (@CiaraDukex) reported

    @CeXSupport do you guys fix Nintendo switches? Better is gone! Or do you buy broken ones?

  • pacotuesday ⚡️パコエスコバル⚡️ (@pacotuesday) reported

    @gyiriiiii @PkmnSamuh @AetherIusDoktor Damn another banger guys Nintendo needs to fix this translation ASAP

  • JoshwaM Josh Snow ❄️ (@JoshwaM) reported

    Do I know anyone who might want a huge bunch of old Official Nintendo Magazine issues in very good condition? I know some of you collect them
