Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
  • fishin4l0ve Lunchbox- KFP Armorer 🐔💋 (@fishin4l0ve) reported

    I have a similar issue with my bank when it comes to Nintendo, whenever I buy anything on the e-shop my bank locks my card and I have to call them #kfp

  • Trowelhands Bru dotBat & Freya Crescent 🦇🧡🐀 (Comms OPEN) (@Trowelhands) reported

    I could be wrong but I doubt the mainline Pokémon games will come to NSO anytime soon because Nintendo would be stupid to not jump at the chance to somehow resell them to you, outside the subscription service.

  • SegaZoom NFC | SegaZoom セーガズーモ (@SegaZoom) reported

    Why yes it is IS unhinged to respond to a preservation issue like a storefront closing by buying the entire inventory, therefore incentivising, YET AGAIN, Nintendo's policy of false scarcity and actively fighting against preservation.

  • Sunshiney0617 Sunny (@Sunshiney0617) reported

    Pokemon theory: we're getting all the DS pokemon games onto the Nintendo switch online service. Only the DS games like black and white etc, are left out of being ported over or remade. They started out with BDSP. They're coming for sure.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 607 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Kars2B K.A.R.S. (@Kars2B) reported

    Did I dream it or did Nintendo fix drifting on their newer switch models

  • Mr_UNIVAC Czar of Accounting #1220 (@Mr_UNIVAC) reported

    Wii U is updated but it killed my homebrew channel, so I went ahead and set up Tiramisu, which is way easier and less scary than CBHC. Problem is it was all pointless because I’m locked out of my Nintendo account and have no idea where I put the Google codes. Oh well.

    Splatoon 3 is garbage game I swear Nintendo needs to fix their online

  • Onyxs_Inkling Onyxs (@Onyxs_Inkling) reported

    Jfc the servers are garbo tonight, people keep DCing in almost every game I’m playing. Nintendo fix yo **** #Splatoon3

  • writersflood Harley Bashaw 💛❤️ (@writersflood) reported

    It’s nitpicking but I think one of my biggest problems with the Zelda series is that Link could go through so much more character development than he does if Nintendo actually cared to make him more of his own character instead of a blank slate for the player

  • RealPoi_15 Poi  (@RealPoi_15) reported

    I still wish Animal Crossing New Horizon was still getting new content to this day tbh. I hate that Nintendo only gave it 1 year of support and thats it. Animal Crossing is like the most perfect gaming series that makes sense to be a live service.

  • grellkgss noé (@grellkgss) reported

    i wanna fix my nintendo DS I WANNA PLAY MAGICIANS QUEST OF MYSTERIOUS TIMES BUT THE DISK IS SO DAMAGED too

  • agamersescape RJay64 (@agamersescape) reported

    I'm against the subscription model of video games. In those cases, the games aren't yours. For example, Nintendo can take away the NES and SNES apps any time they want because you only subscribe to the service. But the Virtual Console was great because we bought the games.

  • ultimablackmage Jean-Paul Bartolomei (@ultimablackmage) reported

    To think we are in the 7th year of the Nintendo Switch is mind blowing... & worrying. I'm sure I'm not the only one with a launch model Switch & is now starting to worry about the console's health. Mine personally sounds like a jet engine & last night had an error code in sleep.

    Whoever uses aimbot on public lobbies in Splatoon 3, I hope that Nintendo will drop a bigger hammer than what the game used when you disconnect matches frequently, the bigger hammer that will console ban users that they are unable to play the game online!

    This youtube video I am watching said Nintendo was WEARY of something when they meant WARY. I am sorry but I have closed that youtube... can't be ******* around with such a error.

  • cibeatty Charles Beatty (@cibeatty) reported

    Hey @NintendoCanada brand new Switch is broken out of the box (doesn't Switch to TV). Tech support said common issue, only option was to send away 4 - 6 wks for a refurbished replacement that will probably have the same problem. Is that really the level of service you offer?

    Just saw @Completionist's video he's doing with @GameHistoryOrg to preserve all the 3DS and Wii U eShop games before thr service goes defunct. Pretty entertaining stuff and a good cause Before Nintendo shuts those eShops down, I implore everybody buy the DENPAMEN games.

  • PlatypusGaming Platy (@PlatypusGaming) reported

    Nintendo will fix their online servers, bring FE4 and Mother 3 over to the west, make a new F Zero and cure cancer before they even CONSIDER fixing the maps in Splatoon 3

  • Miimaster64 Robert Shaw (@Miimaster64) reported

    I just wanna say sometimes it seems like Nintendo can’t win. -Provides classic games via NSO, people complain they can’t buy them -Provides classic games for purchase, people complain they are too expensive -Shuts down decade old service, called anti-consumer

  • SlenderSkeptic Slender Skeptic (@SlenderSkeptic) reported

    272 shinies now to cram them back into their home games so the error nintendo is giving me in gen 9 wont block them living where they live

  • SeanLikeConnery Like Sean Connery (@SeanLikeConnery) reported

    Dumb Q: Are there any class action lawsuits or consumer protection attempts against @Nintendo/@NintendoAmerica for drifting issues of Joy-Con controllers? Feel like I just replaced some within the last 2 years & now another is having issues. #Nintendo #NintendoSwich

  • Oo_Toyo_oO Toyo (@Oo_Toyo_oO) reported

    I hear a lot of people having problems with joycon drift on they're Nintendo switch, even though I've been using It for like 3-4 years i never had problems with it. Maybe there are some differences in production quality or something?

  • StevenChungT10 Steven Chung (@StevenChungT10) reported

    Since the Nintendo 3DS (along with WiiU) eShop is closing down forever next Monday, I thought I'd take a moment to give you all some recommendations on what you should probably consider purchasing before the online service inevitably bites the dust. Check 'em. A gamey thread 🧵:

    We put a Nintendo Switch on a Jack Russell Terrier and she'll fix all your problems.
