Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • WagonW0rks WagonWorks || #ReimuForSmash (@WagonW0rks) reported

    @morganoire At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if going one unit of Planck time without complaining about Byleth is tantamount to the electric chair to them. Like, come on, there’s more important problems to talk about regarding Nintendo than Dante not being in Smash.

  • SaturnineGames Saturnine Games (@SaturnineGames) reported

    @ZennecFox @comeoutpunching Our business relationship with Nintendo went bad years ago. We don't know anything about these recent removals, but whatever it is, it's unrelated to our issues.

  • jultar1000 JULTAR100 (@jultar1000) reported

    @NintendoAmerica the smash community is nothing more than a toxic dumpsterfire of aggression and insults, ontop of the summer issues and constant aggression thowards each other (poor crab) as well as refusing to take any responsability for there actions 4/6

  • Zedtomb 🅱️homas (@Zedtomb) reported

    @TheNintendoFeed You guys really feel like nintendo is going to go back and "fix" a mii costume on a character they haven't gotten enough harrasment over already? They clearly dont care that much about him and are most likley tired of the whining from the geno fans who are geelijg entitled

  • MeganWellsbury Meg. (@MeganWellsbury) reported

    Imagine getting screamed at and kicked out the house all because you can’t fix a Nintendo controller, I’m ******* done

  • shimtailee gallis (@shimtailee) reported

    im here paying for nintendo online service and havent touched the switch in months

  • jultar1000 JULTAR100 (@jultar1000) reported

    @TwiddyBolt @NintendoAmerica Is there a problem?

  • TheMonghy Monghy @ TOO MANY DAMN GAMES, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST (@TheMonghy) reported

    @SpecterYagami But that’s the big issue here, Nintendo knows it will sell no matter the quality itself because of the deadline (and even then, I’ve heard emulation on Mario 64 isn’t as accurate and High Quality as it should be)

  • RTHMedia007 Ryan (@RTHMedia007) reported

    @IntroSpecktive I think the inherit problem of a switch pro is that nintendo doesn’t take raw technological power that seriously. They add it in the new systems so there new toy features work with the console but thats the thing. Nintendo isn’t a tech a tech company

  • AboutNintendo Nintendo Fans Complaining About Nintendo (@AboutNintendo) reported

    Also yes you can say there are other problems with the game like framerates and stuff, but the graphics argument is an extremely poor argument (Saying before someone thinks we posted this to lick Nintendo's boots)

  • Themartymoo Marty T aka The Zebraguy (@Themartymoo) reported

    @JuicyGameReview @NintendoUK The crap I've heard for 4 weeks now is dispatch stopped my package from being sent but can't give me a reason why they have done this..I've told them they have until Friday to resolve this problem, I will ask for a refund and put in a complaint. The hoodie was for the wife 😤

  • dragonsangel01 Angel (@dragonsangel01) reported

    @NintendoUK Only problem is when you buy the Nintendo family is that I have to pay 49.99 each child to play 1 game 150 pounds really! Why bother to pay for an account and have to pay normal price for the games

  • 1xkkx1 xkkx (@1xkkx1) reported

    @nyuhcky @NintendoEurope Ok mate I promised so here is the fix. You can buy pre paid cards online or in stores. They work srsly I bought one online added it to my account and It worked. Credit card (and debt) doesn't work cuz of some new eu regulations (it's on nintendo website) if yoy need help msg me!

  • Dillymint Dillymint💉😷🧍🏻‍♀️2m🧍🏻🧼🎶❄️🕷🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧🔶 (@Dillymint) reported

    @NintendoUK I'm trying to contact you re a payment that you've taken from my Paypal account that you need to refund. Your chat is offline, your phone lines give a message saying you're only open 8-5, and then disconnect. It's 3pm. Where are you??????????

  • Gaeslug Pweam (MERRY CRIMBO) (@Gaeslug) reported

    @ashiinu like are they aware of the...ahem...issues, or like was it just an accident? BEFORE YOU SAY THEY'VE CLEARLY SEEN IT NINTENDO EMPLOYEES DONT KNOW HOW TO USE ******* COMPUTERS

  • KilkennyChris Chris Kilkenny (@KilkennyChris) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

  • CreeperC101 Creeper (@CreeperC101) reported

    @ASTRAxx_x Thank you, but I have the account back and everything. I just have a problem that I need Nintendo to fix. But if anything ever happens to any of my accounts, I'll be sure to contact you.

  • OneEyedShinobi ⚔️🐾🐲Riki (忍び) - Awaiting Katana Zero DLC (@OneEyedShinobi) reported

    @OOCCURSEDJOJO @NODYLANCROSSING With Dylan, he continued the harassment and kept making 100 posts a day about the issue. He even started attacking JP players about the hair. Plus he kept posting and wanting people to mass report FiFi amd Nintendo to ban her.

  • MeganWellsbury Meg. (@MeganWellsbury) reported

    I ain’t going back home just to get moaned at again. I’ve had a ******* enough being treated like whit when I’ve done nothing wrong.imagine getting kicked out because you couldn’t fix a Nintendo controller. I’m cold wet and idk where to to I’m just walking anywhere

  • AFrogEmoji Frog Emoji🐸 (@AFrogEmoji) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix smash online.

  • CCTakato CCTakato 🏳️‍🌈 (@CCTakato) reported

    @sam_animeherald I’m sure for Nintendo it all comes down to making money and they probably could care less about these nerd culture war issues.

  • datagurl77 ᴀ ʟ ᴇ xɪꜱ sʍ o ᴚ 🐈🏳️‍⚧️ (@datagurl77) reported

    my poor nintendo handheld stickdrift device has been so neglected! i need to fix that at some point. what should i pick back up?

  • brenz_mystic10 what BrenZMystic10 said (@brenz_mystic10) reported

    @FallGuysGame How to fix Fall Guys: - remove the game from Nintendo Switch (don't need it) - make it cost $200 not $20 that's way too cheap - add Elon Musk and Big Chungus to the game or I cry - EA should own the game - remove game from steam console gang rise Plz don't hate it's my opinion

  • maggiebiondi Maggie (@maggiebiondi) reported

    hey @NintendoAmerica i can get by with just the ZL broken on my joy con but when the only button that words on the left joy con is the joystick, it makes it pretty hard to do anything :,)

  • _justadoggo justadoggo (@_justadoggo) reported

    @RileySm76812509 @Muhamma99739271 @ChawnSarter nintendo’s also done a bit of an over correction after the wii u, as they’ve worked pretty hard to ditch as much of the wii branding as they can since they knew that was one of the issues with the wii u, so i really don’t see much happening with that

  • DomonicPoores Domonic Poores (@DomonicPoores) reported

    @PayPal I am having some technical issues purchasing linking my PayPal to the Nintendo Switch now after unlinking it to try and fix my purchasing issue. I haven't seen any issues with the Switch or my bank. PayPal just refuses to work with my Switch. Please fix this now.

  • Mr_Crashtastic Shaw (@Mr_Crashtastic) reported

    @Homobound @snakevenom42 I mean the switch went through this same issue when it first came out. Hell Nintendo had this same issue about 9 months ago and the original system has been out for years and also came out with a lite version. The bias you have is very strong. Manufacturering on demand is hard.

  • RhysPhelanHere Rhys (@RhysPhelanHere) reported

    @BillGates, please fix the minecraft realms on Nintendo switch. They suck

  • C14yB0t C14Y_B0T (@C14yB0t) reported

    Is Nintendo going to issue Project Gestalt.

  • NikoAnesti Niko 🍄 #SuperMario35 (@NikoAnesti) reported

    Trying to follow Nintendo “news” sites on Twitter has become more trouble than it’s worth, and they all swoop in like vultures on any scrap of info they can turn into an article which just links back to someone’s tweet.
