Nintendo "Aware" Of Current Network Errors, Says It's Working To Resolve The Issue

Nintendo's online servers have always been bad, it isn't just now

Good to see people are actually using switch online. I mainly use it for Tetris and the occasional nes or Snes game

The Shared Content section of Smash was working fine for me last night. Must've happened after I wrapped up.

Eh it was fine before I sent it to the neighbors for the weekend. I don't mind if there are problems with online this week- honestly I have better things to do than get angry at a company doing their best to fix server error. Then again I rarely use online features since I'm the only one irl with a switch.

Tonight was the night for me to sell my turnips. Things did not go well.

“Thank you for understanding”?

What happened to “Please Understand”.

Fix your pathetic servers, Nintendo. People are paying for it.

Heck, this is even affecting sending mail to friends in Animal Crossing, though the Switch menu was showing that some of my friends were "online", so it's hard to say the extent of the outage

Wow I was playing 80s Overdrive and every time I was about to take 1st place I got that error message! I was afraid my Switch had an issue cause it happened 4 or 5 times!

@Snow-Dust They already know people have no other option and that many of their fans jutsify everything they do.

I had issues traveling online in Animal Crossing last week. Twice in two different days. The second time I closed and reopened the game and it was working fine. I work in IT and this kind of stuff still gets me scratching my head sometimes. Glad they got it fixed though

@TheLightSpirit Nope, don’t even know what game that is.

What do all these complainers want? There was a problem, Nintendo acknowledged it and fixed it.

Curious if Sony and MS players complain as much. I know they've both had similar issues. Hell my PS4 fails to update 1 out of every 3 times. Whenever I see that stupid message I brace myself for it crashing mid update, again.

A rare case when I got hit by these myself - browsing eShop last night proved futile and the website wasn't much more cooperative. That said, I'm not frustrated by network issues nearly as much as I'm peeved by the consequent impressions that Nintendo Network is going PSN in terms of error codes - what are these numbers, and what's their point for a user if even the official website search only yields something approximate at best?🙄😅 Excuse me while I'm getting Remote Play flashbacks here.

While we're on the topic of Switch Online, WHERE are the new SNES and NES games for the service?

It's been 3 months since the last update.

Nintendo missed a big opportunity to drop a bunch of classic games to help people during lockdown.

@MsJubilee Lol... you're basically telling them the same thing they're telling us.

Nintendo: We know the problem with our server and is now fixing it.
You: Fix your pathetic server.

Reminds me of that stupid cutscene from Soul Calibur 2 between Taki and Mitsurugi.

He: You again? I've had enough of you.
Her: Haven't you had enough?

@Benhop07 ok boomer

@Impaler-D actually it won't be "3 months" for another week or so meaning there's still a window for new SNES drops

@glorymade The last games were announced on February 11th.
You're really going to ACKCHYUALLY me over one day? Lmao

Regardless, the last few updates were TWO months apart, not three.
They're either a month late or being trickled out even slower now.

And, again, it would have been good of Nintendo to drop batches of classic games earlier for people during the peak of lockdown; not a good time to further slow their release.

If only they should fix some issues...

Are they also aware of the issue that we are severally lacking still in SNES games?

@retro_player_77 I think you're misunderstanding the situation. MsJubilee here is talking about Nintendos online in general, not this one instance of it being down for everyone. It's no secret that their online is pretty bad, especially since it mostly relies on peer-to-peer connections instead of proper servers. Hence the comment for Nintendo to fix their online, because people are paying for it.

@retro_player_77 I'm speaking in general dimwit. Nintendo PtP servers are awful. They have been sufficient for me, but when I get lag, it's Nintendo's fault, not mine(never had any lag on PSN or XBL). And it's just not me saying this; it's the majority of online users. And the people who say they haven't had any problems are the ones with crappy connections( connections they got used to) or they been fortunate.

@joey302

Yes mate keep getting the same issue I tried deleting and downloading again but same problem:(

@Axelay71 didn’t get a chance to play yesterday being Mother’s Day. Still an issue? Like i said at least we know it’s not our hardware! 👍

@joey302

Yes mate I was starting to worry👍🏻

@Impaler-D you just got your wish and it happened when i said it would 🥵🥵

4 new NES/SNES games dropped

@glorymade Lol No it didn't.
It's been over 3 months since the last drop, even longer than I said, when they were previously dropping every 2 months.

Yeah, I saw the news, and coming back to a 6-day old news thread to passive-aggressively comment is pretty sad, dude.

@Impaler-D you are so hurt inside i feel very bad for you

NES drops were MONTHLY until Nintendo officially said they wouldn't be anymore which was around August 2019, do your research

and then SNES drops have been dropping 2-3 months apart: September 5th, December 12, February 19th and May 20th

not only did NES games drop frequently, there were/are also WAY more NES games added in total because of obvious dev and franchise reasons

@glorymade Lmao Good luck with that Autism dude.
You'll need it.

@glorymade Aww sore enough to comment on 6 day old posts to try and get over with strangers on the internet? Lmao

You can tell the court where your stepdaddy touches you, leave me out of it.
