Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Courtney941x Courtney (@Courtney941x) reported

    @SmythsToysUK Click and collect is not working for any local stores for the Nintendo switch despite it stating its in stock??

  • MetaphoricMamut MetaphoricalMamut (@MetaphoricMamut) reported

    @m_rizky_gumilar @nintendolife No you’re not gettin it. It not being able to run with the other systems causes it to fall behind. It’s not about looking nice it’s about not having the power. That’s the problem with nintendo blind fans. They don’t acknowledge that the system was faulted by its power

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 25 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • RyanThinker Ryan Miller (@RyanThinker) reported

    @Patrickd3 Dots is still too complex, cumbersome and 'in preview' for me to bother with TBH. Runtime performance was good for this scene (60fps on Nintendo Switch) the issue was the way we authored the content... the meshes took up too much memory, bloating load times and app size.

  • SissyPinkie 💗 🎀𝒫𝒾𝓃𝓀𝒾𝑒 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝒾𝓈𝓈𝓎🎀 💗 (@SissyPinkie) reported

    @Liedenea Nintendo are a mess right now, they’re on crash

  • TevhoBend Dylan (@TevhoBend) reported

    @Robinator777 @UsagiCola A very subpar Pokémon fan game. The issue of it being taken down wasn't because it was the next Abbey Road, but because Nintendo was removing a passionate fan project off the internet when other companies embrace them. If you want a good fan game/ROM hack, Glazed is cool.

  • put95eri エリ🎼에리잉 🎼Eri (@put95eri) reported

    Bloody nintendo I got DC-ed 3-4 times in less than an hour WTF????? The internet has no problem at all wth

  • CZunde Zunde Eugene Esteed (@CZunde) reported

    I just spent an hour getting the google stadia demo for #FenyxRising Working so i could unlock the cosmetic set on my Nintendo switch copy. A cosmetic set that i don't plan to ever use because it's kind of ugly. I have a problem.

  • The_Real_YY Christine Deltrap (@The_Real_YY) reported

    @cmarguel @ThunderLotus Third. I have same problem, since Dec 25th. Also can't upgrade s/w to 1.4. No error msg. Tweeted and emailed ThunderLotus with no reply. Nintendo doesn't know why either.

  • heyy_matt matt ☁️ (@heyy_matt) reported

    @S117Oracle @MisterKidneys @SpawnWaveMedia Fun point. However, Nintendo has always had major online issues. Browsing the eShop at 3am MST & I get lag. ACNH online continuously crashed for everyone months after launch, every other Splatoon match crashes. So while your point is valid, the sarcasm wasn’t needed.

  • TallinHarper Gil MacWhirter (@TallinHarper) reported

    @thurrott I mean, I do like having AA as an option. When I had to replace the battery on the Wii U gamepad (which is required for the system), I had trouble finding an actual Nintendo replacement. All the knock-off ones had terrible reviews and apparently died within a few months.

  • MrGuyTweets MrGuy (@MrGuyTweets) reported

    @haylsho yeah i mean i don't know how much i can really blame them for not adding it to 3 dx, because it's a port of a pretty low-profile game in a pretty low-profile series, and even nintendo apparently had trouble implementing it, let alone the people they contracted out for the port

  • Fawfulthgreat64 Jamey the Super Paper Fangirl (@Fawfulthgreat64) reported

    @JeSuis_Red @DefiantAsUsual @OrdinaryGamers If Nintendo didn't want people to be inspired by their IPs, why make them in the first place? I'm not talking about legal rights here. SEGA embraces their fanbase, as any creator should. Nintendo issues legal action to theirs. Just because it's legal, doesn't mean it's admirable.

  • Seyku せえyku (@Seyku) reported

    Thanks Nintendo for taking 6 hours to fix your eShop with 0 communication involved and also **** you Capcom for this mess of a demo release **** off Having that said Time to sink in

  • xStarOnyx StarOnyx - A shiny hunting cat! (@xStarOnyx) reported

    Changing regions for the Nintendo Account (from US to Japan & Singapore) doesn't solve it so its not a region/ping issue for sure Changing the region on the Switch was not effective either. If both doesn't work on fixing the stutter, I highly doubt its an internet issue (2/4)

  • TitoShroom Tito O'Shroom (@TitoShroom) reported

    @OrdinaryGamers i hate nintendo as a company. Y'know, they make good games, good products. (Forget the switch joycon issues for a sec) But **** isn't looking good for their future...

  • Turbokill6 Bassic Gamer (@Turbokill6) reported

    @KaijuZilla98 @Wario64 Nintendo servers had issues last night. I checked and saw confirmation on their website. Was mildly irritating as I had just bought something from the eshop.

  • LynB09 Lyn (@LynB09) reported

    @CeXSupport Hi I’m just wondering what my options are regarding a Nintendo switch with joy con drift as I took it into my local store with the same issue last summer and was told if it happened again it was to take the full thing back and they would swap it but with lockdown I’m

  • AnnieWolfenden Annie Wolfenden (@AnnieWolfenden) reported

    @AnaiTheBear It’s okay you can say Nintendo. And that’s not really… it’s just how it is I guess. If they don’t hold onto their rights to their games it could cause some problems but at the same time their fans might be disgruntled. It’s all very complicated and I don’t fully understand it

    @TwigTheBluePik @haylsho Mario Maker online can't even handle 4 things on screen at once but the consistency of lag throughout Nintendo games is pretty weird

  • kofiboii トビ (@kofiboii) reported

    @aevanko Hello! Does anybody know if MH Rise is region locked? I live in southeast asia but my nintendo acct region is US, I preordered the deluxe edition then I realized I might have ****** up. Now I’m not sure if there will be a problem downloading the delixe kit.

  • WillPostTweets will post | Zn (@WillPostTweets) reported

    Happy to announce that Theo's joycons are drifting again, which means another several-hour ordeal to get Nintendo to agree to fix them (again)
