Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LeDCYT TDK-Emperor DC (@LeDCYT) reported

    @RiiConnect24 How would someone become so pathetic they send death threats to a fan made service for a 2006 Nintendo console

  • mikebardan Mike Hernandez (@mikebardan) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I've had the service for a year now... And I'm just hearing this game is there... O.o guess I need to pay more attention to the Snes app o.O

  • vixxithesilly critteria!! :) | LISTEN TO POC!! (@vixxithesilly) reported

    @NintendoAmerica also please fix the connection on that game its awful 😭

  • UKImmigrantBrit British Alien Immigrant (@UKImmigrantBrit) reported

    @rubenomarchave3 @NintendoAmerica Because I didn't scream 'give me this'. You came in full attack being rude because I expect a company I pay money to to provide the service they promised. If I wasn't paying till a game came out fine, but I'm already paying the subscription so they already have my money!

  • KageSora aster/kage ❤x💚 | CEO of Safe Vore Work Fluff! (@KageSora) reported

    @WappieNL @NianticLabs It'll end eventually of course, all live service games eventually go offline. But I'm more curious to see how Nintendo would handle it if Niantic just crashes and burns the games because Nintendo wouldn't likely take kindly to things that might reflect badly on their brands.

    will nintendo ever fix the ultrastamp hitbox on splatoon 3

  • GothsCantSquirt Dro Rogan (@GothsCantSquirt) reported

    Panda Cup did not mean nintendo is okay with it now. they still refuse to rerelease melee at all or fix it, or even let people fix it themselves, that with all the DMCA takedowns and **** nintendo is never gonna support their ACTUAL grassroots community.

  • ShiannaMaria Azaryth (@ShiannaMaria) reported

    @NintendoAmerica maybe dont punish splatoon players that get dc’d because of your bogus server problems.

  • Eragon_RH Eragon_RH #SplatoonicationError3 (@Eragon_RH) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Let's see if it actually fixes the connection errors

  • Locke_PSB Bruce Jones (@Locke_PSB) reported

    @ldagstine @NintendoAmerica I went to a 24 hour Walmart at 8pm and waited in front of the service desk in electronics till midnight

  • EmceeProphIt EmceeProphIt (BLM) (@EmceeProphIt) reported

    @feefway That's the nature of a crash babyyy. It ******* sucks. The actions of an individual company just stop mattering for a while. I don't think nintendo did literally a single thing to make investors nervous lately.

  • doefoxmae 0x4d6165 🏴⚧️⚙️ (@doefoxmae) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Let’s see if this fixes the awful connection issues

  • HydraSplatoon Hydra Inkarnate (@HydraSplatoon) reported

    @TheSmartFarter @mickey_smash The issue is it's not that big a risk if you know what you're doing, the issue is that Nintendo doesn't know what they're doing instead of narrowing the ports each game is using.

  • Rinayru 💀🔥 𝒦𝒾𝓂𝓂𝓎 🔥💀 𝐈𝐗 (@Rinayru) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Finally. Sick and tired of all of these disconnections and communication errors and I know for a huge fact it's not my internet. Yesterday I almost got a "time out" because of Nintendo's servers kicking me out mid match, something that I can't control. My connection was perfect.

  • akihikikomori 卂Ҝi the CHAD 卄iҜiҜ💀爪ㄖRi (@akihikikomori) reported

    @JakovianA @XboxP3 all these service for games will be dead ,As they should . I'm glad nintendo save gaming

  • PajamaPajamaPa2 Nate'sPajamas (@PajamaPajamaPa2) reported

    @NSuperGamerGuy @ExpandDong15 @NintendoAmerica Same thing here, just wanted to toss my hat into the ring. Had a communication error on a Tower Control I was about to win followed by two back to back communication errors after loading into a match. It's crazy how often it happens!

  • Naiobia Phobi 🌈 | she/they | splat 3 debt | toxic bi ඞ (@Naiobia) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Hopefully the sloshing machine being hella broken will stop too soon?? But I'm not sure (the shots can go thru the floor--)

  • CJAdams110703 CJ Adams 🇿🇦 (@CJAdams110703) reported

    @jsketch12 I feel like it's less Nintendo and more Tanabe being the problem

  • ErrantNerd The Nerd Errant (@ErrantNerd) reported

    @shawceresita @PlayerEssence Okay, it's not working on nintendo's site right now, but on the eshop directly on the Switch, you can search "Skyrim" and the anniversary edition will be a $20 DLC.

  • Star_Bird06 Star Bird (@Star_Bird06) reported

    @LiversFor3 @NintendoAmerica No problem!

  • davidgburns DGBurns (@davidgburns) reported

    @KriddleKraddle @PlayStation @NintendoAmerica We did. I tried PSNow before it went away, and it was comparable to Stadia from a lag and "feel" perspective. For a LOT of games, it's really not a big deal, but to take off with the masses and become viable as a standalone paid service, yeah we've got a while.

  • OnlyTrueKevin Kevin (@OnlyTrueKevin) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I can't tell if im lagging or not but im killing people but then die shortly after because they somehow killed new while dead

  • SevenSpelledOut SevenbutSpelledOut (@SevenSpelledOut) reported

    @Ryan20615 @NintendoAmerica I know my mileage may vary, but I haven't had any issues with communication errors. I must be lucky.

  • hawkdeltaX30 Giovanni Hernandez 🏳️‍🌈 (@hawkdeltaX30) reported

    @Bullseye_wb @IGN People having been calling out Nintendo on it and on Xbox when they were doing bull moves around when the Xbox One was coming out. The difference is actually doing a better job providing better service to their consumers while Sony is doing the opposite.

  • acnewmurder Animal Crossing: New Murder (@acnewmurder) reported

    Is there merchandise planned? Nope! That sounds like a lot of work. lol Also there’s legal issues with that. These characters belong to Nintendo and we don’t want to give big boy Nintendo any reason to shut our game down.

  • HadesAuracite 🥀⛎️ | PoppyPomu | ⛎️🥀 (@HadesAuracite) reported

    @NintendoAmerica So... we're not gonna fix the sloshing machine splatting players through walls???

  • Stealth40k Stealth (@Stealth40k) reported

    @Genki_JPN Switch Lite seems to be having major supply issues. Nintendo is basically selling every system they make.

  • justcrazyenough Some Guy (@justcrazyenough) reported

    @Saltiest_Gaming One poorly-conceived attempt is all it takes for you to claim the entire concept a failure? Good thing you werent running Nintendo in the 80s, you’d have decided home consoles were a fool’s errand after the Atari crash.

  • HedonistPrince Princess Mischief Lost at Sea (@HedonistPrince) reported

    @light8227 @jadeechonn @NintendoAmerica Not til the point distribution issue is fixed!! I enjoyed tricolor the one time I had a good enough matchmaking team (continues with teams drops pro players into open as it defeats the purpose of pro) but 1/3rd the point gain for a win on defense vs either offense winning is bull
