Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • CryptoCort Cort Krause (@CryptoCort) reported

    @thebehemoth Is there a solution for local coop for Castle Crashers Remastered on the switch? Every time I try to sign in a second account, I get an “Another user cannot be selected, so this process cannot continue.” error. Both users own the game, both have Nintendo accounts.

    Brella nerfs nintendo should consider: -damage 81->50 -once shield is broken, you no longer regen it until death -shield launch after 2 seconds -decrease amount of pellets shot I think these nerfs would put brella in a more balanced state #Splatoon3 #brellalove

    @shadowmatrix7 But still do even if its a April fools day joke they meant to be funny or not harmless This makes you and every fnf person actually legally allegeable to get in trouble with Nintendo and thats more of a scare factor especially if multiple other mods show the same thing

  • anna_lakwatsera Anna (@anna_lakwatsera) reported

    Patting my self on the back for not stressing out that my replacement device for Nintendo Switch took 4 months. Good job to the kuya in iTech who did tell me it will months to get a replacement since Nintendo does not have service center here in the Philippines

  • tumult cancel/tumult (@tumult) reported

    @IndieGameLawyer @Mustin If the answer is "they're probably infringing, and liable" then it seems like Nintendo wouldn't be withholding OST releases for creative control or monetary reasons, since it's not working. These artists are displays prominently and are collecting money from streaming plays.

  • mssammiller samantha ♡ (@mssammiller) reported

    how do i thank @NintendoAmerica customer service for being patient with me after wasting their time for 20 minutes all because i was too stupid

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 620 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • __GustavoFlores Gustavo Flores (@__GustavoFlores) reported

    @JoolsWatsham Hey I contacted Nintendo support about this during and even after the store closed. They said to reach out for the Developer of the game. Do you have any left over codes for Dementium Remastered? I tried to buy it before the store closed but suffered network errors

  • splatpostsever Weird/Silly Splatoon Posts (@splatpostsever) reported

    @nintendo FIX YO SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!

  • SewerUrchin Mike (@SewerUrchin) reported

    @usbtypewriter @rob_sheridan Not sure what your 2nd ? means (Nintendo power issue), but: 1st ?- seems posts w ext links are marked as spam unless poster’s “engagement” score is high enough. 3rd ?- I’m not the fragile billionaire owning this site, but he seems to be chasing more $8 a month subscriptions

  • BulbaWhat98 BulbaFuck98 | RE4 Remake Ch 14 (@BulbaWhat98) reported

    @CWild40 @FeralKing422 @PleoTCA The issue is that a lot of Nintendo fans don’t really branch out. They’re pretty much stuck in the 90s and 2000s in terms of what series they’ll play, hence getting upset at FE and Xenoblade succeeding nowadays because they didn’t play them back then

  • bunnielesbian jasmine 🩷🐰 (@bunnielesbian) reported

    btw the real issue is ofc that those old pokémon games cost way too much ******* money bc nintendo is a cringe company

  • SloshingSquidkd ✨Edamamu✨ (@SloshingSquidkd) reported

    That being said, can we as a community create a truce signal for attacking teams? Attackers have trust issues and if Nintendo won’t let us attack with a full squad of friends, we need something.

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • 4KMadLad Insane Timmu (@4KMadLad) reported

    Dealing with piece-of-**** driver issues, OS errors and shader bullshit just seems preferable to worrying about my platform getting a game or not, will some Western hunchback **** its content before it launches, or if Nintendo will release decent hardware this decade.

  • Error55667787 ф (@Error55667787) reported

    @NattyinToronto @PoorlyAgedStuff Same thing I was thinking. Another gaming crash is coming and there's no bouncing back from this one since Nintendo fell into its own greed. Nothing will save it this time.

  • Ru_NRD UGLY. (@Ru_NRD) reported

    @ItchyBudju @Yuly_Boss @Genki_JPN Nah, Nintendo doesn't have any issue with Xbox.

  • TukFriar Friar The Tuk 🎮 (@TukFriar) reported

    @CARNAGENOVA1 @ParvumPrincipi @hawaiinguy808 So? So was Crash and Tomb Raider. As was Dead Rising for Xbox 360 which is a Capcom game. Your links to them being aquired by Sony are very tenuous. Capcom have released more games on Nintendo consoles than Playstation, that applies to Xbox too

  • usbtypewriter Jack Zylkin (@usbtypewriter) reported

    @SewerUrchin @rob_sheridan what are guys talking about exactly? Did you find a nintendo power issue about beating Twitter? Why are "verified links" -- whatever that means -- downvoted?

  • Elijah3lijahEli 乇ㄥ丨丿卂卄 (≧▽≦) ᵇᵘᵗ ᶜᵒᵒˡ (@Elijah3lijahEli) reported

    I wanna make a commission service were instead of money for a commission yall pay in different nintendo/Amazon gift cards for my art on digital or paper Very silly very cool :)

  • Realitywakeup1 Jimmy Robinson (@Realitywakeup1) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The trans community wants you to accept them, but they can't accept you. Pokemon is supposed to be fun and enjoyable it's a game pronouns have nothing to do with the game whatsoever and should not be in the game. The fact that it's in the game is the problem.

    @ThatCuntChloe @CocoaFox023 Nah each splatoon very distinct personality. While you could make it live service and have mashed them all together nintendo doesn’t do that.

  • Awakening4935 Awakening (@Awakening4935) reported

    @JSAnetwork Here's to hoping one day Nintendo will fix him

  • VannoahS VanNoah (@VannoahS) reported

    @HeyIExistAgain @CocoaFox023 People when Nintendo don’t make live service games. Would you rather 500 micro transactions stand alone games

  • dead_byt breadbyte (@dead_byt) reported

    Tried to homebrew my New Nintendo 3DS, only to find that my A button is unresponsive. It seems pretty easy to fix, but it requires me to open up the actual shell and see the motherboard, and the screws are TINY as ****

  • UmaFlame Uma Flame (@UmaFlame) reported

    I can only fix this by buying a new memory card, but if I do that then it can fail again in a few years too. I think the memory card is the main reason why the PS Vita failed. If Sony ever makes a new handheld console it should use Micro SDs like how the Nintendo Switch does.

  • BossofNubs Sam (@BossofNubs) reported

    It's been 8,531 since we had a 3d Donkey Kong game. @NintendoAmerica please fix.

  • ANTH0NY_AGUILAR Anthony Aguilar🇵🇷🇪🇸 (@ANTH0NY_AGUILAR) reported

    @ChriGartner @DarkHolocron @Darkborn162 And I will say a million times over and over again left from holders like Sony Microsoft and Nintendo shouldn't be allowed to buy big publishers. Call me paranoid, but this is going to lead to another video game industry crash just like I did in 1978 to 1990

  • ScarasCrush Fantasy ✨ Scara haver 🪱 87 days till bday? FLOP ☹ (@ScarasCrush) reported

    I go poof now (Gonna go watch YouTube on my Nintendo switch Because I'm on a phone with no audio... (Yes the phone I'm on is kinda broken)
