Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Kaleb_King_88 Kaleb King (@Kaleb_King_88) reported

    @nintendolife Nintendo or Game Freak needs to release an update to fix the lagging and glitches.

  • RufusBeah Ru (Birthday 🔜 21st Nov)🪴 (@RufusBeah) reported

    **** truth is Nintendo won’t give refunds for their broken game. Using boost when unlocked you basically move faster than the game can load

  • Markzcuckbird Markzcuckbird (@Markzcuckbird) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the damn game

  • mmd_zhie ... (@mmd_zhie) reported

    @Adorkable0nes @NintendoAmerica The only right source I know here is @Bestrecovery11 i had the same issue I wrote to them, mine has been resolved. I really hope they come through for you too. All thanks to him

  • JoshAyres2 Josh Ayres (@JoshAyres2) reported

    @WOOLLEY_GAMER Nintendo pull down tons of stuff it’s not mind boggling they would especially if it’s showing performance issues. Nintendo hate free advertising they very much would hate anything painting them in a bad light even though blocking it also paints it that way

  • KatastrophicImp CurseCreature (@KatastrophicImp) reported

    @hedgepods Memory leak: gdi Nintendo patch your **** All the stupid visual only glitches: they better never fix these I'm still mad pokego patched the Bellsprout head warp glitch in 2016

  • dazmarklew Daz (@dazmarklew) reported

    @AidenRS139 I’ve not had any performance issues with my OLED model. However, I’m unsure on whether Nintendo made any hardware changes other than the screen, compared to the original model?

  • lepplo Lepplo (@lepplo) reported

    @MeViPortal @PlayWarside Considering how Nintendo has had no issues allowing Pokémon clones onto the Switch, I don't know why they'd suddenly draw the line here. Art style isn't exclusive to anyone, and considering how Reboot Camp uses completely different graphics, what would be the problem?

  • KaiSchwarzer Kai Schwarzer 🔥🗡Vtuber Protagonist (@KaiSchwarzer) reported

    @MunchingOrange I know right! Like, hey Nintendo and Gamefreak, make a patch that lets us change parts our uniforms! And fix your bugs too!

  • SaintsRegis saint (cryptage lover) (@SaintsRegis) reported

    @irIgengar @RukoTheWonder i think the problem is, if say a trans person starts a nintendo game, pre-coming out they can't change their name after they've come out or smthn and would have to delete their save file to not have to stare at their dead name all the time yk?

  • Marzetty23 Michael (@Marzetty23) reported

    @NintendoAmerica you guys need to fix the new Pokemon games. They are absolutely unacceptable. If you turned this in for a grade, it wouldn't get an F, you would be expelled. Absolute robbery, and needs to be fixed, or money refunded.

  • tamatchi boooo we hate your ***** @raging loop🧍‍♂️ (@tamatchi) reported

    hmmm....i do want the new pkmn game a little but in a 'i dont want to enable nintendo so they keep making broken *** games' way

  • Markzcuckbird Markzcuckbird (@Markzcuckbird) reported

    @Nintendo Fix your stupid game

  • weedsmokingbfs FREDDIE:3 (@weedsmokingbfs) reported

    @NintendoAmerica pleas evetytine I beat cohozuna I get bronze @NintendoAmerica ples fix your e broken game @NintendoAmerica #satoon3 #salmonrun

  • DARUKU8 Dark (@DARUKU8) reported

    @SknEvergarden Yeah its crazy that evert journo under the sun is ready to bash any game that has bugs or runs like ****, but anything nintendo puts out seems to be gold dust even if its absolutely broken and unplayable lol

  • stefanartistry Jamel Stefan (@stefanartistry) reported

    @iDavey I haven’t had any issues as of yet. but I have heard of the lagging. i think people where expecting PS5 from Nintendo and that’s not really fair.

  • renanbrumart Renan 🏳️‍🌈 (@renanbrumart) reported

    Also you guys @Pokemon and @Nintendo I presume that money is not a problem right?!

  • oshibok Bimbogami★ (@oshibok) reported

    the performance issues in the new pokemon are ******* inexcusable dog i bet QA was screaming like banshees while the pokemon company was like no it's fine, games done just ship it and the fact that it's a 60 dollar game and will be forever because lol nintendo game!?!?!? 💀

  • Shad4hollister Mercury 👾 (@Shad4hollister) reported

    @Despacheet0_ With all due respect, they made the same Mario game for four years n their online service is the worst out of the gens.. i think Nintendo knows no matter what they put out, people gonna buy it

  • cmasterwait PCmasterwait (@cmasterwait) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the frame rate and other performance issues

  • Topaz_Carbuncle Peter 🌐 (@Topaz_Carbuncle) reported

    @VileMK2 @RGT_85 I criticised the issues too and sent Feedback to Nintendo in the hope they address these issues. To me videos like this don't help and if anything only serve to annoy people plus it's just childish considering the fact he's a grown man.

  • HelloWorldCX3 ~🌸SOUL🌸~ (@HelloWorldCX3) reported

    @NintendoAmericr You can send it to Nintendo and theyll fix it for free. let me find a video explaining it better

  • The_Ant_Queen Ant Queen 👑 (@The_Ant_Queen) reported

    @chooboto @HoshizoraOW "When was the last time a Nintendo game launched on their platform broken af?" 2 days ago, the new pokemon?

  • clonewar2 parrotcam (@clonewar2) reported

    @DreamcastGuy From talking to pokemon/Nintendo fans, they really don't care about the graphics or performance issues. It doesn't matter to them.

  • KunYosuke yosuke kun🇵🇦 (@KunYosuke) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix your game

  • renanbrumart Renan 🏳️‍🌈 (@renanbrumart) reported

    Also you guys @Pokemon and @Nintendo I assume that money is not a problem right?!

  • Gear12_Turbo Monster Hylke Rise: Sunbreak (@Gear12_Turbo) reported

    @TvVledder Definitely not unplayable but because the issues are all visual they're extremely distracting. It's just not the standard of quality I expect from big Nintendo-published titles like these.

  • Shoeknight1 Kishi (@Shoeknight1) reported

    It's too bad to hear all the things about poke S/V Stability is usually the ONE big thing you can count on for Nintendo games Other games have had their bugs for sure, but few of them were ever game breaking, and you usually have to be pretty intentional to get games to crash...

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • rocksteady31 Joe Montore (@rocksteady31) reported

    Anyone know if @NintendoAmerica, Game Freak, or @Pokemon has come out to say anything about Scarlet / Violet perf issues? I'm by no means an industry veteran but IMO shipping a game like that is just bad business. I want to play it but I refuse to in that state. #Pokemon
