Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Paladins: Campeones del Reino (@PaladinsCdR) reportedWe’re working closely with our partners at Nintendo to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, but unfortunately Paladins will be unavailable for play on Switch until the issue is resolved. (2/3)
-
радуга блять (@Rainbow__Dark) reported@ClaireOfTheRace @PlayApex You might notice none of these are hosted on the nintendo online service? Plus having lower performance in singleplayer is okay cause you're not competing against anyone
-
A pair of Joy-Con Drift 'threatens' for a Direct. (@TJoycons) reported@muigilariofac @nintendofac @NintendoAmerica First A in America isn't capital That's the error
-
kuru (@RythmChrisOsu) reported@32DaCrow @NintendoAmerica @PlayApex And so what? does any of those run on respawn's unoptimized overmodified Source engine? its a dev problem here, switch users wont have a pleasant experience compared to pc users.
-
Salt & Light (@chelslouisemua) reportedI’m playing my Nintendo switch and this one level on crash bandicoot is kicking my behind! 🥴
-
smashbrolink (@smashbrolink) reported@drew_graber @IGN Oh please; considering the other party was the same one who's top brass approved of releasing the ****-dream movie Cuties on their service, Nintendo actually helped us dodge a bullet here. Screw Netflix.
-
Hensemnya Thariq (@PisangKaki) reported@XboxGamePass Don't you guys want to expand your service into other countries? It is weird and it is as if you guys don't even want to compete with PS or Nintendo around here. I believe Microsoft can be a worthy opponent because PS is dominant around here and the price keeps increasing.
-
Melo | Zelink theorist (@Freshbreeze18) reported@HeathKirchart7 I have no idea! Are they even gone on patreon? Maybe they had copyright issues with Nintendo!
-
Dexter REX (@DexterREX7) reportedSHITTIEST ******* GAME TO EXIST ON NO TENDO ******* HISTORY. 20 DOLLARS FOR LAG AND PATIENCE. WHAT ******** IS WRONG WITH NINTENDO WHAT THE HELL.
-
JJ James (@JJJames_games) reported@Aiorax "Hardware limitations" are why the Wii was much cheaper, and with "the controller gimmick", they outsold other consoles for years. You're saying this like they were problems but they were ASSETS to Nintendo's industry ********** against ps3/360 when Wii was fully supported.
-
YaBoiNate (@nateisyaboi) reported@Asensii20 @NintendoAmerica sounds like a you problem
-
Chillua (@Chillua_) reported@NintendoAmerica Fix joycons
-
smashbrolink (@smashbrolink) reported@MarioNevarez200 @WayneClear @IGN Nintendo takes NDA's seriously. Netflix didn't clamp down on that hard enough, and that resulted in a broken promise. I can't reasonably blame Nintendo for not wanting to work with oath-breakers.
-
Paladins: The Game (@PaladinsGame) reportedWe’re working closely with our partners at Nintendo to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, but unfortunately Paladins will be unavailable for play on Switch until the issue is resolved. (2/3)
-
Jaziel Gonzalez (@ZyeLeg847) reported@xanderrr07 @Battlefield6XP @CODColdWarNews Whats the problem? Nintendo Switch makes the same thing with other games
-
Diamanté Loco (@Diamante_Loco) reported@RealDerZocker @kertgartner @benjedwards was it Nintendo Power or Club Nintendo? sorry, was gonna see if the issue was in the scanned archives of Retromags :)
-
Jacob Mccumber (@jacob_mccumber) reportedHELP! my switch isn't turning on and I tried pressing the power button for twelve seconds and its not working before it did this it had an error the day before and it hasn't turned on since @NintendoAmerica
-
💓Aso💓 (@AsoGirl29) reported@bandicootpage Nintendo Switch, because I always been with these consoles. I truly hope Crash 4 will get his way on the Switch. 🤞🏻
-
Kayoin (@Christi73388444) reported@TubboOffline @NintendoAmerica @PlayApex The nintendo switch ran doom eternal decently so it's probably a Deb problem
-
Steven2000 (@Megablack2000) reported@Xbox @PlayApex Tell Nintendo to make a better service Train them
-
Frozen_Magma (@Young_Gaki) reported@bigmike102477 @Dreology619 @Danpoo4sho Demo ran great has way more variety of monsters compared to world which had mostly dragons, and jrpg fix is the switch but they are full priced nintendo taxed so they'll be cheaper on ps
-
apple8404 (@applesplash8404) reportedsmash and mario maker's online issues are born out of design choices in how they handle latency, not the base infrastructure, otherwise every other online nintendo game would suffer their issues. i can guarantee you they will not get better. do not get your hopes up.
-
Variks the not-so-loyal (@Variksofficial) reported@Kelvin_Arce_ @ZhugeEX Ah yes because a “games as a service” that uses an art style that many games use (Nintendo didn’t create that style) is ripping off a single player game that has two payed dlc’s
-
J♢ (art commissions open) (@OniInTheShell) reported@vagamer01 @IklingHedgehog @NintendoAmerica Dial up? Never had a drop or issue ever since day one. Can’t say the same for PlayStation or Xbox.
-
The Dead Horse (@tequiloblanka) reported@arejayplays @NintendoAmerica Splatoon 2 is peer to peer - host was lagging.
-
𝑃•𝐻•𝐴•𝑁•𝑇•𝐴•𝑆•𝑌 (@platinumteddie) reported@Red05240922 @Foulowe59 @NintendoAmerica Obviously when they add crash to smash
-
BeadyDesert3 | Big City Era (@beadydesert3) reported@Spinellaby No I think the issue will be Nintendo and The Pokémon Company because of how dense they are
-
woomy365 (@woomy365) reported@BuddyBoyJ @NintendoAmerica lmao constant crashing and lag. I really hope it releases tho
-
(Javier) (@xja02) reported@he_burntmyshake @Parappa_GANG Ah yes, let's ignore the terrible connection issues that can literally ruin the experience because Nintendo is just not giving half of a ****. How is massive input lag in a fighting game acceptable? Even Mario Maker has tons of lag. Steam has free ******* online and works better.

A.D. \Mikkhi/ Sixx (@adfoozsixx) reported@ReloadGV @Annisir_Kaugan Part of being raised by Nintendo of America, there's this urge to lick broken computer parts & blow on them, see if that makes them work again. Just one more round, I promise...!
