Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • FluffyBitchFace jiji (@FluffyBitchFace) reported

    NINTENDO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FIX YOUR SERVERS SPLATOON 3 WOULD BE SO GOOD IF IT ACTUALLY ******* WORKED

  • TamaTheYoshi Tama (@TamaTheYoshi) reported

    Kinda strange nintendo hasn't done any particularly "evil" move before announcing a direct... that doesn't look like them! maybe they'll fix that with the video itself 😌

  • PokeMadness1996 TheCharizardKing (@PokeMadness1996) reported

    @maxler5795 @TheNCSmaster @EA Their tweet is unacceptable but the same people defending single player games Will also criticize Nintendo for not utilizing online enough So y’all need to make up your minds cuz that’s a problem too

  • TheOgre_Hanma Yujiro_BlackFrost_Hanma_BU (@TheOgre_Hanma) reported

    @CharmCityGames It doesn't matter what you personally equate each service too the services are GamePass PS Plus Nintendo Online Subcomponents are not broken down at all and neither are trials for those services when it comes to subscribers

  • That80zKid That 80z Kid 🏳️‍🌈 (@That80zKid) reported

    I honestly don't see the issue with Nintendo UK wanting to respect the national period of mourning in their region by not streaming the Nintendo Direct live. They're still going to post a video an hour after it airs elsewhere. People are over blowing this majorly.

  • PG13ScottWatson The Loony Liberal Looks Like Osmosis Jones (@PG13ScottWatson) reported

    I hypothesize that Nintendo could crash the entire internet by annoucning that Uwe Boll will direct the upcoming Super Mario movie.

  • pearlkinnie pearlie 🪷 (@pearlkinnie) reported

    @marginaliia hmm from what i recall nintendo games don’t typically have this many problems so i think it’s very understandable to be frustrated for a game people spent $60 for and can’t play half the time… too bad you lack critical thinking 🐥

  • KlHYOO kalli (@KlHYOO) reported

    nintendo if you don’t fix these god awful ******* servers i’ll lose my mind i’m disconnecting with perfect internet

  • nymphinia Princess Ari🦢 Persona 2 Duology Propaganda🔪 (@nymphinia) reported

    Kinda miss playing new horizons a lot but ffs Nintendo has left us dry. I can always go back to gamecube since ive been trying to restore that file again... but pocket camp is the current superior for my fix im sorry lol

  • ClassifiedWste amanda (@ClassifiedWste) reported

    Update again! FINALLY got the email from @BestBuy but it was all broken code. Somebody pointed out that their code WAS in there though. It’s the all caps block of letters and numbers before the massive gap - there should be a link that directs you to Nintendo too to redeem

  • WaifuPalace WaifuPalace (back in January 2023) (@WaifuPalace) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Even if we don't get what we want Tomorrow will always have Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Super Mario Sunshine, Crash 2, and Spyro 2. ~

  • StayIzzy22462 StayIzzy (@StayIzzy22462) reported

    Unless nintendo wanted to do a FF14 Reborn type beat and literally delete 2 and start over. But with how different 3 is I dont see how that update wouldnt be charged at a premium and taking Splat 2 away from people who liked it forever would have brought it's own issues.

    @TheNCSmaster @EA their tweet is unacceptable but the same people defending single player games Will also criticize Nintendo for not utilizing online enough So y’all need to make up your minds cuz that’s a problem too

  • DraakVuur Draak (@DraakVuur) reported

    I'm really gonna need Nintendo to figure out the server stuff My longest record is 3 games before a communications error Shortest? 20 seconds Paying monthly subscription + $60 for a game I can barely play is some bullshit

  • danielBlake1993 Daniel Blake (@danielBlake1993) reported

    @PlayStation @NintendoAmerica Can’t wait to watch both! Need my Spiderman/Wolverine fix and my Zelda fix

    @thelonewolf28 @PlayStation @NintendoAmerica Up to no good. Starting making trouble in their neighborhood.

  • moarloot MoarLoot (@moarloot) reported

    Nintendo direct AND a state of play?! In the same day?! Oh my poor poor wallet. If there's dragon quest or final fantasy news I'm in trouble. Not to mention if Silent Hill comes back 👀

  • barneyc4lh0un pix (@barneyc4lh0un) reported

    IT HAPPENED AGAINNNN.... @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA FIX THISSSS 😭😭😭😭😭

  • SebbyWest Sebby (@SebbyWest) reported

    The connection errors in Splatoon 3 are abundant, fix your damn online Nintendo

  • Zgants_ 🎂 = 9/17 (@Zgants_) reported

    @PlayStation @NintendoAmerica Fixing your broken (down right deceptive, in Sony's case) refund policies finally, I hope? Stepping up your classic game offerings, especially PS2 on PS5? Or, best of all... addressing your lawsuits by treating your employees better? 👀

  • VMeekshake VanillaMeekshake - Dualies Enthusiast (@VMeekshake) reported

    Bro what's the point of having the game stop when a disconnect happens when it doesn't even work what ******** Nintendo

  • CharmCityGames CharmCityGames (@CharmCityGames) reported

    @TheOgre_Hanma you know damn well Nintendo Switch Online and the base PS Plus services arent comparable to GP they are comparable to XBL the only thing that is a similar service is PSPlus Extra & Premium and they arent even close to GP subs & you know that.

  • DUltra69 DragonUltra69 (@DUltra69) reported

    @neomew @HardDriveMag Steam deck I can talk all day about it, so imma just say I can play switch games on it and I don't need to pay for nintendo's ****** online service

  • SAOLover2022 Alpha XionGX (@SAOLover2022) reported

  • inkuji jasper 🐙 playing splatoon 3 (@inkuji) reported

  • QU_O_TE Q.U.O.A.T.E.D. (@QU_O_TE) reported

    @TheDryLightning i've played (according to the ingame stats) 46 matches and i've been removed from a game 1 (one) time for someone else's disconnection not to say my experience is all there is, but so far, i've had 1 online issue and ye lack of content is now a classic nintendo move

  • ShyestErin Erin! (@ShyestErin) reported

    orz nintendo please fix splat3 I'm begging you

  • marginaliia PL Laru (@marginaliia) reported

    @pearlkinnie yeah its like the game just released 4 days ago who would have guessed that, the bigger the game, the more glitches and bug and annoying things there are at lunch. luckily nintendo will fix all of this in the next patch so u can take a breath lol

  • Jermit_The_Frog Jermit The Frog (@Jermit_The_Frog) reported

    @tvandlust I wanna get this to play online with my wife. I really wish Nintendo had a game sharing service so we don’t have to buy two copies
