Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mountain_ghosts grub updates (@mountain_ghosts) reported

    @notpeter something running inside macOS isn't going to solve my problem, because the situation where I wire my headphones to the monitor, the audio source isn't my mac, it's a nintendo switch

  • killuaightning darling 🪷 (@killuaightning) reported

    why do i pay for nintendo online service if it's not even working 😭😭

  • CornTater83_Pro Cornelius Bomb Drop (@CornTater83_Pro) reported

    @PSN_ElectricDC Also, if you already have purchased the classics (not gonna assume all) they are available with or without the service. And eligible to download AND eligible for purchase. Assuming they will continue to bring more of these now to the platform. Nintendo starves it’s VC.

  • RyanMcNamara3 Ryan McNamara (@RyanMcNamara3) reported

    @kart_tour @SensorTower @Nintendo Fix your game....

  • LBomgos LongBomgos (@LBomgos) reported

    @Gingerhitman1 @NikoMueller Well one that’s not why Don got booted. Two Xbox’s drm is almost identical to Nintendo and PlayStations. The outage wasn’t even drm caused. And Dons drm was exponentially worse

  • puarz1816 puarz1816 (@puarz1816) reported

    @ChikoritaCheez Nintendo Switch Premium, and its a subscription service for 3 random titles and is 45 dollars a month.

  • AreMurderous DucksAreMurderous (@AreMurderous) reported

    @valvesoftware @Nintendo how about you think with your ******* braincells and look over to the tf2 community who haven’t gotten updates in 4 and a half years and have a rampant bot problem

  • NersRasr Ners Rasr (@NersRasr) reported

    @NintendoAmerica How about we fix the lead bowling pins in Bowling? The physics are laughable.

  • d3x7r0 Luís Nabais (@d3x7r0) reported

    @JeremyG__ Not atm. There are always rumors that Nintendo may add Game Boy games to the NSO subscription service but so far nothing official sadly

  • Joshawott Josh A. Stevens (@Joshawott) reported

    @JeremyG__ Unfortunately, there are currently no options to play Game Boy games on the Switch. However, there have been rumours for months indicating that the platform might be added to the Nintendo Switch Online service at some point in the future.

  • fallnaway falln (@fallnaway) reported

    @wickhelm Bruh I played in the seasonal and had the game crash on me LMAO **** sucks but that has nothing to do with my or OPs tweet. Its completely asinine to compare riot dev support to nintendo lol. Yall acting like I'm just here to **** on LoR when really I think yall are misdiagnosing

  • ShaunV2 Shaun (@ShaunV2) reported

    @SappSafariGames @NintendoAmerica I've never encountered any performance issues at any part of it, no FPS drops at all ever.

  • Tortuga79782279 Tortuga (@Tortuga79782279) reported

    @ChikoritaCheez Nintendo Switch Online service will now permanantley be the $50 expansion pack starting on May 25th

  • Ul_711 Zer0 (@Ul_711) reported

    @GenePark Yeah glad they did this instead of opting to do it like Nintendo did with their service

  • TRushdown The Rushdown (@TRushdown) reported

    @vitalitysensor This looks way better than what Nintendo Online service is offering actually, Nintendo just looking really bad right now

  • WhisperAshe Ashe (@WhisperAshe) reported

    I hate this stupid trend Sony is following Nintendo on with their Subscription Service of giving us as little as possible Jesus Sony

  • haysey_draws Haysey Draws 🔞 (@haysey_draws) reported

    @Unski113d That's absolutely fair, Nintendo's offering is woeful considering their back catalog is so big and most of the most beloved games are theirs so there aren't any rights issues.

  • ZioElsydeon Zio🏳️‍🌈 (@ZioElsydeon) reported

    @chasepettit That depends on what you're looking for. Mr. Driller for example is kind of a big deal and the PS2 remasters as well. Though just judging from the list, I have literally zero intention on getting into whatever this service is supposed to be. Nintendo copycat thingy?

  • MaxMikado Max Mikado (@MaxMikado) reported

    @ncbjd Exactly. Steam lets you download games w/ expired third-party licensing (Marvel) that you've previously purchased, and server space is cheap. I don't see why legacy content and game preservation has always been such a problem for the industry, but especially Sony and Nintendo.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 299 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Raiko_87 Dangerous_Dave (@Raiko_87) reported

    @vgcartography Much like with Nintendo's retro offerings, licencing is going to impact this service pretty hard. So many obvious games will be missing due to ever changing ownership.

  • oxichain Oxichain 🤖 (@oxichain) reported

    @ForbesGames What a *** list. They didn't even tease games they dont have on their library like CvS2, og RnC trilogy, Sly, og Spyro trilogy, og Crash trilogy or Crash Twinsanity, Tekken (3,4 & 5 DR), Soul Calibur 2 & 3, the Smackdown games, etc etc etc. No wonder Nintendo is whooping them.

  • applepolka life is a beach (@applepolka) reported

    @Jiikae i mean, if microsoft could pull it off... bigger problem is, both microsoft and nintendo already pulled it off.

  • HeyItsRJH Robert J. Hollis (@HeyItsRJH) reported

    @ScrambledFaz Yeah I can see that. They do it with the Shin Megami Tensei games on the Nintendo Switch Online service.

  • Kobob_KC Kobob_KC (@Kobob_KC) reported

    @GTRRX70122 There was a glitch where you could farm a lot of deaths, but you can't do it anymore since Nintendo updated it.

  • SpaceGooSky SpaceGoo (@SpaceGooSky) reported

    @JonComms To me I think it's the fact they lose on two fronts. I think Game Pass is a better service than it still. Plus if I just wanted it for the classic games service Nintendo has a better legacy service. It's a new service so obviously they can catch up later but rn I'm not sold on it

  • Sharito742 Sharon | ⚡⚡🦅🦇🦇🧜‍♂️ (@Sharito742) reported

    The whole PS+ new service makes Nintendo Switch Online look like a great service.
