Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • VideoGamerMarx JigsawMarx (#NiGHTSMAFIA) (@VideoGamerMarx) reported

    @NintendoAmerica No offense but Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time being featured on March’s The Download would suck.

  • EnigmaticWolff 𝑨𝑳𝑳𝑨𝑵𝑻𝑬 (@EnigmaticWolff) reported

    I hate having rage like this because it ends up costing me money but god ******* dammit, I shouldn't have to deal with controllers failing out of the box and drifting like I bought some off-brand Walmart ****. I'm done troubleshooting until my brain bleeds, Nintendo needsa fix...

  • DumbDusky DumbDusky (@DumbDusky) reported

    @StafkiGTN @LVLUPSgaming @NintendoAmerica Well the problem with BOTW was the map and making the Engine and those are being reused

  • YorunoYamiyo Nagato (@YorunoYamiyo) reported

    @Event_Horizon15 @Pickle_Dylan69 @NintendoAmerica SWSH is a different disaster all together... That game didn't not have nearly enough time and was fully of problems BEYOND just ****** textures and the **** render distance

  • TF2SmashBros Team Fortress 2 for Smash, Maggots! (@TF2SmashBros) reported

    The problem with the modern Nintendo community is everything is so black and white, you either have to completely hate something or completely love something, there's no room for a more nuanced take. I see this happen with Smash, Pokemon, Zelda etc.

  • ShannonZKiller Shannon (@ShannonZKiller) reported

    @TheTony_C @Slietaert2 Tone deaf corps like Nintendo who have a long history of shitting on creators choosing not to allow costreaming (and who actively send out DMCAs against ppl all the time), and Blizzard choosing to feature Metallica (hello? Napster?) are issues totally out of Twitch’s control.

  • Emelinapearl Emelina: The people's mom💚 (@Emelinapearl) reported

    @violetchunks_ tbh coming up with some live service model is probably the most healthy future for Pokémon, instead of needing to come up with a new game every year. But yeah I don't see that future as likely under Nintendo's supervision

  • Moddingpoet1 Joey, Ash, and Wormwood (@Moddingpoet1) reported

    @saltydkdan Maybe they'll fix it, but it honestly just looks like they upscaled platinum slightly, rather than actually remaking it on a new engine, hopefully they fix the lighting issues and make the buildings look slightly better, but Nintendo doesn't change much from trailers

  • ShantaeZagami Shallow persona (@ShantaeZagami) reported

    @horny4honey_ hey u know nintendo's hidden slogan "if it ain't broken, why fix it"

  • rlevitt101 Raphael Levitt (@rlevitt101) reported

    @Pokemon @NintendoAmerica Please fix the frame rate 😖

  • LinkOfTheWoods LinkOfTheWild (@LinkOfTheWoods) reported

    @KSI_Blame @Anything4Orbs @NintendoAmerica I have no issue with the game I’m saying the people complaining about the remake they asked for is annoying lol

  • newplanetseeker Eye Sack FKA Thorrison (@newplanetseeker) reported

    and look I'll go in on Nintendo all day for their outdated online service and bass-ackwards copyright policies but man some people's reactions are sooooo dumb

  • bennythejet55 🅱🅴🅽🅽🆈 ▪️ ⚠️FUZZFORGE⚠️ (@bennythejet55) reported

    @Johnston_Photog I've seen things about it. Problem is: nintendo. I'm shocked it hasn't gotten CnD'ed already

  • mogo_maj moje (@mogo_maj) reported

    Nintendo remakes when instead of fixing the problems in the game they just update the graphics and also adding one tiny bit of extra gameplay

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

    Fifth, it may or may not fix Joy-Con drift, but Nintendo probably is going to prioritize the ability to use existing Joy-Cons with the hypothetical system. You might get a new wave of fixed Joy-Cons, but it won't be because of the Switch Pro.

  • Shiibe_ Shiibe (@Shiibe_) reported

    The new Pokémon game looks like it was shown off too early. The world doesn’t look and feel alive at all. There is no npc’s to be seen to encounter with or talk too. There is graphical issues as well. Not looking to good Nintendo.

  • tgm_Zeej #BLM l Zeej (@tgm_Zeej) reported

    Can y’all stop complaining about frame-rate issues? Please realize you bought an iPhone 6 with wiimotes attached to the sides. Nintendo duped you. It’s kind of their whole thing. Your fablet that was outdated a decade ago can’t run 1080p 60fps without chugging.

  • KSI_Blame Soto (@KSI_Blame) reported

    @LinkOfTheWoods @Anything4Orbs @NintendoAmerica I don't have a issue either, I don't see why complaining when we gonna get two pokemon games one from developer of pokemon home doing the remake and the other from gamefreak.

  • cynical_seth CynicalSeth (@cynical_seth) reported

    @garsedj @FalKoopa_ @SuperFoxcade Yeah probably but they can spend their money how they like and it isnt really a problem for nintendo fans since their buying it so who cares

  • pikatwo26 Pikatwo26 (@pikatwo26) reported

    @YesIEatAssBitch @NintendoAmerica Why do you insist on causing pointless trouble. These are very good games.

  • AdelAbed_ Adel 🇺🇬 (@AdelAbed_) reported

    @dantheaverage_ Legends had frame rate issues even with barely anything there. If they made a mainline game like Legends it would probably be 10 fps. It's like how Pokemon snap looks amazing because it is just a photography game. I think maybe when Nintendo improves their hardware we can get

  • Chris97174471 Chris (@Chris97174471) reported

    @Diego_Mann_ @RadCharzrd @NintendoAmerica This is the exact argument people made when Sword & Shield were revealed, and the graphics weren’t improved before release. Also, the bigger issue is the art style, that’s what makes it feel like a Chinese bootleg.

  • Jomama120 Joseph Nettles (@Jomama120) reported

    the people are garbage. Dead eyed zombies. It could be that they have issues with stability with too much rendered, but again other modern switch games do just fine. Plus the Pokemon Company has literally all the money in the world to hire the right team, or use Nintendo as a...

  • EnigmaticWolff 𝑨𝑳𝑳𝑨𝑵𝑻𝑬 (@EnigmaticWolff) reported

    @NintendoAmerica FIX YOUR ******* PRO CONTROLLERS!!! I am sick of $70 controllers having unfixable drifting issues. I now need a THIRD controller because of this garbage. UNREAL.

  • immagigi gianna "gigi" ruggiero (@immagigi) reported

    @Jeff_Delgado @NintendoAmerica just picture it. mario not able to say many words like he is giant adult baby. Him carried around by the rock. somehow there is a universe glitch and parts of the toadstool kingdom is glitching into our reality. mean while mario the talking baby man, is still trying to save peach

  • StockingSniffer wowzers (@StockingSniffer) reported

    @Blackbirrdd_ @Triforce32591 @NintendoAmerica This is definately a 40 dollar looking game but we still don’t know what’s in the game. double standards at work when swsh get a pass despite being intentionally left incomplete and broken, and this gets bashed on for art style alone? Let’s see how inclusive the game is first

  • jonathanpopalis Jonathan Popalis (@jonathanpopalis) reported

    @JamesGunn I didn’t even consider that a movie could NOT be liked. I could be scared of it? Or not understand it? But any issue was always with me, not with the movie. See also: every single Nintendo game.

  • BriannaGoldman6 Brianna Goldman (@BriannaGoldman6) reported

    @TeamYouTube, I have a problem with the YouTube app on the Nintendo Switch. Everytime, I go to a playlist, it only shows 20 videos instead of how many videos they have. Its OUTRAGIOUS! I even tried reinstalling the app, but it JUST COULDN'T WORK! Can you do something about this?

  • _souldestroyer bUrn man (@_souldestroyer) reported

    Is Mortal Kombat 11 on Nintendo Switch worth it? Tbh I stopped playing ACNH & Crash Bandicoot forever ago. Don’t wanna feel like my switch is going to waste. What are some other games (plz no Mario) y’all like to play? P.S. MK is 70% off for another 3 days get it while u can.

    @yungdiscodrip No new nintendo games. Just re-print old consoles and games as an archival service.
