Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MelonTeee Melony🍈 (@MelonTeee) reported

    I just can't imagine Nintendo ever wanting to do anything with Disney ever since the whole mix up with Wreck It Ralph happened and that not working out so, oof

  • PatientGamer2 Patient Gamer (@PatientGamer2) reported

    @HigH_velocity01 @jacobed25 @WCGamingTweets I got a refund on xbox no issue and the game is fine on p.c - sony and Nintendo need to change their refund policy

  • Larizla666 Larissa Sheppard (@Larizla666) reported

    @NintendoUK on hold for 15mins and then call hung up. On hold again. The only gift my 6yr old is getting is your switch which has gotten lost somewhere. Customer service thus far awful. I just want the console . Get in touch pls

  • V2Jake Jake White | CW: GREAT TEACHER ONIZUKA (@V2Jake) reported

    @SmokeComrade @CuterChihuahua2 @NintendoAmerica Same, I'd probably prefer Leon, Doom Slayer or Crash, but there is absolutely no denying that Sephiroth deserves his spot infinitely more than all of those characters combined

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 4 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Chives_AD Chives_AD , #stopDMCA (@Chives_AD) reported

    @finalmasterm0dx The Big House has hosted one tournament a year, every year, since 2011 and Nintendo never had a problem with them. Also it's Legal to make a rom of a game you own, just not share it or download someone else's, making Nintendo's assertions of Slippi requiring piracy false.

  • Kevins_Kotatsu Kevin under the Kotatsu (@Kevins_Kotatsu) reported

    nintendo will never pay attention to this tweet but FIX YOUR ******* JOY CON DRIFTS GOD I WISH IT WASENT AS BAD AS IT IS.

  • nickayhf Saint Nick (@nickayhf) reported

    @lobjob @aarjanistan Nintendo will fix the joycons for free, maybe something to look at after the Xmas break.

  • jojumpsin2020 Jojumpsin RIPGENO (@jojumpsin2020) reported

    @road_guardian @SquareEnix @Nintendo I’m disappointed because they just used the shitty Wii U and 3ds costume but honestly I’m glad it’s over I guess what’s next it so Stan Crash lol

  • CapainN Captain N (@CapainN) reported

    @NintendoEurope F**k the Geno costume. He should of been a legit playable characters. It's been THEE most sought after fighter since Melee. Fix this Nintendo!!!

  • WRCTheGame WRC The Official Games (@WRCTheGame) reported

    @woutervddn @Nacon We have an update today coming on Nintendo Switch (v.1.2) that will help us gather data in order to fix this crash through another update.

  • hedweg_twitch hedweg @ run status ACCEPTED (@hedweg_twitch) reported

    @itsTeganM Honestly i feel like in the last years I've seen people be really harsh with Indies at times about quite small problems at times. While big productions, especially Nintendo gets away such crazy terrible performing games.

  • HSheazo HyperSheazo (@HSheazo) reported

    @Rossonero21 @motaFTW @YongYea The most anti consumer company? EA, Activision, Blizzard I can go on Nintendo just shut down a smash tourney, broken controllers and making some anniversary games limited release Blizzard was defying Human Rights EA is getting ****** across the world by courts over gambling

  • jygglypuffdaddy Troublesome Teapot (he/him) (@jygglypuffdaddy) reported

    I don't buy this whole "it's OK for games to be buggy messes at launch, that's how all big games are" line because I've NEVER experienced a Nintendo game shipping in a buggy or broken state. The worst you get is some performance hitches.

  • derguti_endrit Heavens door (@derguti_endrit) reported

    @AndresLicon @NintendoAmerica ok but what about the japanese laws. i understand what you‘re talking about but maybe the problem isn‘t the american but the japanese. i remember someone saying that this is illegal in japan

  • swtbod eon ☏ (@swtbod) reported

    Please please please yeah it might be funny "haha i hate nintendo i broke switch thousands of hours of games lost" but fuckung TAG IT I DONT WNAT TO SEE BROKEN ELECTRONICS ON MY ******* TIMELINE !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Spidey_YT21 Spidey_YT #BLM #Pray4Dak (@Spidey_YT21) reported

    @sonicsta_ Idc that he’s a Mii costume. It would be cool to have everyone’s side kick in the game. Crash needs to get in smash because he’s a big gaming icon. Tbh,Nintendo is worse than Disney sometimes

  • MrBLTs Brett (@MrBLTs) reported

    @TehParalyzer @TrueAchievement 100% disagree my brother is playing on an og Xbox one. It’s basically unplayable and looks like something from the Nintendo 64 era. The game is broken. It needs to be removed from stores to protect consumers.

  • baroquedecay Yuppie Psycho - DLC OUT NOW! (@baroquedecay) reported

    @TeanWitch @catz0nmarz We are waiting for Nintendo to aprove the patch solving this issue. Sorry 🙏

  • mario123007 Monado Mario (@mario123007) reported

    @PcElitest @NintendoUK And I'd say it is subjective, don't see problem with that lol.

  • unclemoton Uncle MiZ (@unclemoton) reported

    thinking about how i wanted to "mod" starfox assault to make it online multiplayer like 9 years ago and at the time my older brother was like "idk maybe you should call it 'space badger' just to evade [legal issues?] from nintendo" so rn im like dam it been like that 😔

  • RmY2410 RMY (@RmY2410) reported

    @Morphiyi @CyberpunkGame @PlayStation Ok then Microsoft Should release Halo infinte on a Nintendo switch and an Xbox 360 for 60$ and if it doesn't run that's your problem not theirs , right ? Now think about what you said then think how stupid it was

  • BobSinkerII good wholesome meme (@BobSinkerII) reported

    @YouJstGotJacked @SavedYouAClickV Are you serious? All nintendo knows is how to scam their users lol. Server upkeep is worth less than pennies per player. The price is “justified” by additional features such as friends/parties/free games/etc, its always been that way, and its always been a scam service

  • oldswarrior Rob Toohey (@oldswarrior) reported

    @SHADOWFRENZY92 The Neo-geo was an arcade system at home, so there aren't any cutbacks to the game like you'd get on the super nintendo or sega mega drive. Game had tons of other issues too. stiff controls, collision detection, etc. It was just a poor effort, and not really up to par.

  • marcelitopeki03 Marcelitopeki03CR (@marcelitopeki03) reported

    @FortniteStatus hello fortnite this twitt is to clarify an error in the game first clarify that I do not speak English this I am translating, already clarified me and my friends are suffering an error in the nintendo switch console when starting the game or in any moment in game from a moment

  • CJ___1988 Charles J (@CJ___1988) reported

    @NintendoUK Amazing customer service!! Fixing my sons switch, free of charge in time for Christmas! 🎄 🎁 #NintendoSwitch

  • thedirecty ⛄️Directy🎄 (@thedirecty) reported

    @RealMarioManiac @FortniteStatus FINALLY SOMEONE IS SAYING THIS I THOUGHT THIS WAS NINTENDO’S PROBLEM

  • DoodlesHearts Katie (@DoodlesHearts) reported

    Can you get a refund on Nintendo eShop if the game is glitch af?

  • lucioneedsabuff Yikes (@lucioneedsabuff) reported

    @vg_zeitgeist @NintendoAmerica @USJ_Official 2 issues. 1. Covid 2. Not everyone can just get up and go to Japan on a whim
