Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Randomcoloring1 Xardin's Randomcolorings (@Randomcoloring1) reported

    @ParagonsGuild I like them aswell if used in moderation, to emphisize certain actions or intense moments I just hate when i fail them due to button layout/brain confusion mostly an Xbox vs. Nintendo layout thing PlayStation buttons are distinct enough to only cause me mild issues

  • tommysuks ItIsTomE (@tommysuks) reported

    Gonna go play some punch out right now i forgot i have the Nintendo subscription service it better be on the switch

  • ultimablackmage Jean-Paul Bartolomei (@ultimablackmage) reported

    Ok I just played a #splatfest #Splatoon3 match where one of the opposing player's weapons shots where tracking me & my team like heat seeking missiles. @Nintendo still haven't solved the hacking problem?!

  • LynkCable 🔴 Lynk Cable 🟣 (@LynkCable) reported

    So is it impossible to transfer the MicroSD Card from my old day one Nintendo Switch (WHICH I DONT HAVE ANYMORE) to my new @NintendoUK Switch OLED? I’m having trouble getting it to work as it keeps asking me to delete the data on it… I’ve backed it up on my PC but I need help 🙏🏻

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 480 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • placeholder_31 Placeholder |🦀Klawf my beloved🦀 (@placeholder_31) reported

    Nintendo really needs to fix tri color it’s so unfair for the defenders

  • Dawgnuts1 JJ 🇵🇷 (@Dawgnuts1) reported from Islington, England

    @GenterMarko @Timeerased @VGC_News Nintendo are horrible at repairs and I own a switch lite and an oled and I think these will be the last Nintendo products I'll ever buy because of these issues

  • Zeven57 Oreeo- (@Zeven57) reported

    Isnt it cool how nintendo makes the shittiest servers ever then make you unable to play for 10 minutes bc of their **** servers not working?

  • LenZenala Zenala ✦ Team Grass 🌿 (@LenZenala) reported

    I wish people don't start treating Tricolors like they treat Clam Blitz: badmouthing and hating it until Nintendo does it *****. The issue isn't on the mode, it's in the complexity + lack of decent in-game communication. They're great modes actually

  • Jpgamer86611450 Jpgamer (@Jpgamer86611450) reported

    @luci_4k Turf War, broken mode. No balance. Absolute joke what Nintendo's doing.

  • skibbity_bop YūreiOni (@skibbity_bop) reported

    @NintendoAmerica the problem with solar fest and turf war in general is that is just really difficult for the team beating overwhelmed to come back on some of these maps. Like sturgeon shipyard for example. The only way to push mid is to go uphill. How does that work?

  • rieper47 ⱮìçհąҽӀ φҽʂąҟ (@rieper47) reported from Laidley, State of Queensland

    Dear @NintendoAUNZ it's really rude that you won't let me use the Switch Voucher that I paid for because I'm not a Paid Nintendo Online Service gamer. That is rude.

  • monke_honke Honke Monke (@monke_honke) reported

    I love paying money for an online service so I can play a game with the absolute most bullshit matchmaking possible #splatoon #splatoon3 #nintendo

  • Marionete2004 Marionete (@Marionete2004) reported

    @penguinViiR I'm not really all that into the graphics, I just enjoy it for the gameplay and story My main issue is that the switch is 5 years old and when there is another nintendo console coming (granted in 2 years or more) the switch will immediately drop support and i will miss out

  • SlomoRevFN 🎄Sl❄️m❄️Rev🎄 (@SlomoRevFN) reported

    nintendo fix your servers PLEASE

  • abandonedldgirl abandoned living dead girl (@abandonedldgirl) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon This game is a total scam. Why let me queue for tri color, if I won't even end up there. This game doesn't make fun. Should just stop buying your trash games. Matchmaking broken. Communication errors. Nothing works. You should offer everybody a refund at this point.

  • IvanO260O Ivan Ortiz Jr (@IvanO260O) reported

    @vicious696 I disagree about both being able to play on NES. The sheer amount of sprints in screen would crash the Nintendo console.

  • Stickynotes5555 DSR Sticky (@Stickynotes5555) reported

    U know. @Nintendo fix the ******* Splatoon servers!!!! God ******* dammit have I ever been so ******* salty at a game in my entire life!!! Just because you don't like western players doesn't mean ****!

  • KirbyCheatFurby Anthony (@KirbyCheatFurby) reported

    i had a dream a few days ago where i went to a bookstore and found the first issue of nintendo power on a shelf placed with strategy guides then this beautiful woman with long, flowing blonde hair came in and said "that's fake, y'all." and grabbed the magazine and threw it

  • OctoInklin OctoInklin (🔥Team Fire🔥) (@OctoInklin) reported

    I've been thinking about making this rant because of my experience with the current splatfest. If anyone insults me, it's really immature considering that people will only ignore what needs to be fixed. [1a-4a = Playerbase problem] [4b = Nintendo Server/Playerbase problem]

  • SunnySkunk Sunny Skunk 🦨 🇦🇺 (Spliced arc) (@SunnySkunk) reported

    Nintendo’s never gonna fix tricolor, are they?

  • U_N_I_F_I_E_D UNIFIED (@U_N_I_F_I_E_D) reported

    @2bitthief @RCardosoEU Micro isn't going to leave money on the table with that franchise. Guarantee you it will even release in Nintendo Platforms soon enough. Like within the next 2 to 3 years possibly. Will be on Game Pass of course which is purely consumer choice, if they want a sub service or not.

  • Zenith_BunSquad The Ghost Of Bunny Past (@Zenith_BunSquad) reported

    All I ask is you respect that and try not to send me links and lectures about why I can play Mario + Rabbits. Maybe I just wanna play a game with bunnies. Maybe Nintendo working with Ubisoft shows they both have problems. Maybe I just like tactical rpgs like command and conquer

  • LilyFeeshGaming Feesh Gaming (@LilyFeeshGaming) reported

    Nintendo please for the love of God fix your ****** servers, I'm so tired of getting a disconnect 2 minutes into a match every other game

  • allterquestion TheAllterQuestion (Allter) (@allterquestion) reported

    @yU2cdqpBLxFdf2s @Nausicaa4_ Correction, they have no problem with nintendo in the first place despite being totally Japanese and with very Japanese tendencies.

  • jum4ycraft margshs 🥚🥚 (@jum4ycraft) reported

    @banoopyblizz @Wario64 not necessarily applaudinng sony for making games 70 dollars just i think nintendo games never getting price drops is a worse issue

  • CrowleyBrendan7 Brendan Crowley (@CrowleyBrendan7) reported

    @O_T_Reynolds It's amazing how after the Hellena Taylor issue, we're still getting instances of Nintendo-sided people misrepresenting their issues. Most of the feedback on the review points out the inconsistency in this review vs many others on the site, but that's not even acknowledged here.

  • allterquestion TheAllterQuestion (Allter) (@allterquestion) reported

    @yU2cdqpBLxFdf2s @Nausicaa4_ Are Koreans really so brazen in being so anti-Japanese? Ah, but conveniently they have no problem with collaborating like the LINE company and buying nintendo products (which the switch and their jueros sell quite a lot), well, hypocrisy at the highest level.

  • big_lilieV2 Big Lilie (@big_lilieV2) reported

    @LiliesHome_ @thenreport Life without you would be like a broken pencil... pointless. Do you like Nintendo? Because Wii would look good together. You're one of a kind. #NETIZENSREPORT #LISA for Asian Celebrity of the Year #ACOTY2022 @thenreport
