Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Murderstorm117 Edward Torres (@Murderstorm117) reported

    Dante, Doom Slayer, and Crash Bandicoot will never be included in Smash because Nintendo wants to cater to Zoomers now. There's a higher chance of a Minecraft youtuber being added than those characters.

  • BackseatGameDev Backseat (@BackseatGameDev) reported

    @corobonii I just can’t believe an official Nintendo trailer like that would make a spelling error.

  • MadYGlory1 MadYGlory (@MadYGlory1) reported

    The only thing I care about is, when will Nintendo fix the Joy-Con Drift............

  • XMaxThreeSixty XMax (@XMaxThreeSixty) reported

    I don't really have any predictions on who the next fighter might be since Sephiroth. Crash, Kat, KOS-MOS, Chief, Dante, I'll take whoever as long as it isn't a Sega rep. Okay, maybe a 2nd Sonic rep just to force Sega to let Nintendo make new Smash mixes. Eggman or Metal's fine.

  • dualipasfart Gusteau (@dualipasfart) reported

    Does anyone know how to fix e Nintendo switch blue screen of death oomfs switch has that but they can’t fix it like it says on yt

  • pokemaster_mike Lord Zypher (@pokemaster_mike) reported

    My predictions for the Direct tomorrow: Crash for Smash confirmed New BOTW2 trailer Super Mario Odyssey 2 confirmed New Metroid 4 info NEW STAR FOX GAME DEAR GOD PLEASE Super excited for this. Please just give me a new Star Fox game Nintendo. I beg of you. #NintendoDirect

  • PlantRulx Plant (@PlantRulx) reported

    @DiscordReturns I think we are about due for a dumb Nintendo character after the last two hype ones. Overall, I think the most likely would be said dumb Nintendo character (maybe Pokemon?) or Crash with a Crash 4 trailer.

  • doodliver ✨ɹǝʌᴉๅpooꓷ ~Commissions and Kofimissions closed~ (@doodliver) reported

    @NintendoAmerica *Prays for Spyro, Crash or Rayman*

  • TheEggman64 Laurie (@TheEggman64) reported

    @kieran_fifield Nah, if Nintendo won’t sell them to me on the vastly more popular Switch that’s their problem not mine!

  • sorrenmos Sorrenmos (@sorrenmos) reported

    Have any of you streaming types had trouble capturing video form Nintendo Switch? My Razer Ripsaw seems to be having an allergic reaction

  • SkyeLentNight Blackwatch Booty ❤️🖤☠️ (@SkyeLentNight) reported

    On the note of Nintendo Direct and possible smash reveal I will still laugh if Tracer made it in. But I also vouch for Amaterasu and Crash to make it in.

  • Bad_Dps Little Dante - 🍕👀 (@Bad_Dps) reported

    @SertifiedSlav Ppl are saying crash but tbh, remembering that they are now under Activision blizzards wing and that nintendo were not pleased with their ow release on switch They may have been hung out to dry 🤔

  • miguel08667351 Miguel Lol (@miguel08667351) reported

    @PcElitist___ @KagatoFordragon @NintendoAmerica There are pro controllers without any issue, You just want attention. that's it lol

  • RainPumpkin7266 RainPumpkin7266 (@RainPumpkin7266) reported

    @HMKilla @NintyPrime is there any problem in terms of DMCA for streaming the Nintendo Direct? Does the VoD need to be deleted after?

  • OldCyber_613 Cyber (@OldCyber_613) reported

    @3dsiso @NintendoAmerica Another Broken Switch meme? Hahaha how original

  • BackseatGameDev Backseat (@BackseatGameDev) reported

    @Sbfantom Can't believe Nintendo would make a spelling error like that

  • _rxpture Memento Mori (@_rxpture) reported

    @Dr_Scaphandre @NintendoAmerica What’s a power outage got to do with Nintendo?

  • ResponsibleHum1 Responsible Human Person (@ResponsibleHum1) reported

    @InfernoOmni Crash makes the most sense, seeing that crash 4 will be released on the nintendo switch soon. But in my hearth I'm still wishing for 2B or any indie rep (hollow knight, ori, shantae, shovel knight, zagreus)

  • Esteban_Kyle399 Steve🍥 (@Esteban_Kyle399) reported

    Okey I’m really hyped to see the Nintendo direct and I’m really hoping it’s crash or a Pokémon character xd it could be nice to see Impa too if I’m honest xd

  • NiBorja The King Vipper ➡ Borja (@NiBorja) reported

    @NintendoES @MsDarkz123 @TJ_Gilson . Praying for Crash 🤟

  • SparkleSparks7 Sparkle (AgentJoker) 🧇🧇🧇 (@SparkleSparks7) reported

    Holy heck a Nintendo direct is tomorrow! It has Smash bros in it nice! I'm thinking in the direct that Smash bros might fix smash bros online. I'm also guessing that Crash is going to be the next DlC Character *I said this 3 months ago and it turn out to be Sephiroth lol* What is

  • ValksyLG Drowned (@ValksyLG) reported

    finished tasks for the day - want to nintendo, wont i think i know what might be going on but cant fix this either. =( am cornered and have no move to make

  • Aerospherology_ Aerospherology (@Aerospherology_) reported

    @NintendoCanada Crash Bandicoot, eh?

  • exitbagger Timotei (@exitbagger) reported

    I'm so psyched for Nintendo Direct. 15 minutes on the Mario theme park. Crash and Spyro as new DLC fighters. More Wii U ports for Switch. Braid 2 as a timed exclusive. The smell of burning hair and plastic.

  • Gene092506 Skid and Pump! (@Gene092506) reported

    If imma be honest. The Mario fandom really isn’t that bad or cringe. Honestly it’s problems are just from Nintendo itself

  • Torracattos Torracattos (@Torracattos) reported

    For the Nintendo Direct, I think I just really wanna see some new games for their big first party franchises. Zelda and Mario have a huge anniversary so maybe news on BoTW2? And still hoping for Cinderace im Smash or Crash Bandicoot.

  • Starlitlion Crystal (@Starlitlion) reported

    Has anyone else had trouble streaming Nintendo Switch with the Razer Ripsaw or am I just doing something wrong?

  • BackseatGameDev Backseat (@BackseatGameDev) reported

    I can’t believe an official and real Nintendo trailer would make a spelling error like “Breath” instead of “Breathe”. 🤯

  • miguel08667351 Miguel Lol (@miguel08667351) reported

    @3dsiso @NintendoAmerica Wait that's not broken, Its a screenshot from youtube maybe-

  • Icy_Glaciers 💚Noah!🤍 (@Icy_Glaciers) reported

    the only thing I want from nintendo direct is an online service that works
