Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • brxndybrxndy brandy (@brxndybrxndy) reported

    @NintendoCanada @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA Day 20 (21 with Splatfest) of asking for a fix for the “not enough players” error on Splatoon 3. Not holding my breath for the update tonight since I got my hopes up last time. Would be a nice surprise if you actually fixed it.

  • creeper19221 Creeper1922 (@creeper19221) reported

    @lambiepie64 @Reecee_yt "Patience", he says while nintendo continue to charge 20 dollars for a service that doesn't even work properly for over 3 years

  • MrReckless94 👻Inquisitor Reckless👻 Tales of Vesperia (@MrReckless94) reported

    @nazar1328 This is talking about subscrition service Members, so people who actively resubscribe their membership. Sure it doesn't seem great, but I guarantee all companies do this, even Xbox and Nintendo.

  • KalZakath KalZakath (@KalZakath) reported

    @EMKReports @b_hydb @KevinKoolxHalo I recall them saying it involved things outside 343. Azure would be a good bet, but LOT of things use Azure where we dont see these issues, including Sony and Nintendo.... so I don't think it is just that.

  • comicsncats Sweet 2D Volcano (@comicsncats) reported

    @jonathan_eff Segas problem was announcing neat stuff for peripherals that never sold like 5 units then canceling them. Nintendo's problem was promising peripherals that would get hyped in Nintendo Power, then just... never appear again. Between that and FF7, thats why I have Playstation now.

  • JeffGrubb Grubb (@JeffGrubb) reported

    @JayBari_ It probably isn't an issue. Now, Nintendo saving all the good phone wallpapers for MyNintendo members? Scandalous.

  • TheBY2K BY2K 🇨🇦 (@TheBY2K) reported

    @Tenkay23 Not that I'm trying to defend Nintendo here, but I would definitely get in trouble for tweeting something as vague as that and my company found out.

  • linnylinnn Lin!! (@linnylinnn) reported

    nintendo fix splatoon PLEASEEEE.

  • bri_isfunny αBri (@bri_isfunny) reported

    my only two issues are that the select button doesnt work on the gamepad (seller clarified this, i havent tried troubleshooting yet) and also the fact that my nintendo network id has my deadname in it so sadly i wont be friending anyone 😭😭 u can friend me on 3ds tho

  • DAMMITLOUIE Onion (@DAMMITLOUIE) reported

    @lolkirby1 @NintendoAmerica Yeah I hear there are disconnecting issues

  • InsertPat patto (@InsertPat) reported

    BRO I GOT DISCONNECTED 5 SECONDS BEFORE THE ROUND ENDED!!! WHAT ******** NINTENDO?! I CANT PLAY 5 GAMES WITHOUT A PROBLEM

  • Ren_Heika Ren (@Ren_Heika) reported

    You know I was considering trying #NintendoSwitchOnline + expansion but realized they don't give a one month option to try it out?! @NintendoAmerica you messed this up, your base service is a rip off, no way I'm going to lock myself in for a year without being able to try it.

  • sugarydrayden drayden 🎃 halloween brainrot (@sugarydrayden) reported

    you would think with how rich Nintendo is they would actually give a few extra dollars to make controllers that don't have severe issues/break every few months and you have to drop $70 dollars on another

  • Silasthebard Silas the Bard (@Silasthebard) reported

    @Jahzz0 No bro I have the LAN right here I bought the official adapter from Nintendo, the lag was probably on you anyways it felt just fine to me. Lemme just scoot closer to the router first.

  • lilacmagician Silas !! @ SPOON3‼️‼️‼️ (@lilacmagician) reported

    @NintendoAmerica stop being allergy to money. Put your music on streaming services or make a streaming service. Pleas e

  • WilliamCail1 William Cail (They/Their/Him) (@WilliamCail1) reported

    @IGN I got better CS with Nintendo when I had an issue with a gift card.

  • DannTheManTV dann (@DannTheManTV) reported

    I don’t understand why the Animal Crossing community seems so resistant towards modded content. Because it’s “not authentic”??? Nintendo failed y’all, let the community fix it.

  • babywondy victoria wondy lijaya (@babywondy) reported

    I cannot login to my Nintendo account.. coz I do not have the two factor authentication… It might be on my old phone? I don’t even know where the phone is anymore.. I’m stuck I cannot buy any more games.. what do i do 😭

  • KC2POK Fenmon☆ (@KC2POK) reported

    @MelodyTheFelony @VeemoDraws @NintendoAmerica Bug: basically a glitch but its random and players don't purposefully do it Exploit: Doing something on purpose that may be unfair for other players

  • Paulis30ish Paul Tidd (@Paulis30ish) reported

    @XboxWire Well, it looks like no matter what four games Sony gives us every month, they pretty much "win" by default now. Unless Nintendo starts adding more classic games to their online service.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 435 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • rand0mpeasant Lore. A. Fanté (@rand0mpeasant) reported

    @bearinbriefs Yeah, last night I had a series of communication errors, then ended with my teammate PFFTing right next to me before the match started. Switched to single player campaign the rest of the evening. So frustrating. Wish Nintendo could get their multiplayer act together

  • iWEIRDEDBEARDO 🤪🧔🏻‍♂️🍂🎃 Playing Children of Morta PS5 (@iWEIRDEDBEARDO) reported

    @WOOLLEY_GAMER The only part of it I really have an issue with is the requirement to purchase 4 digital games. They need to allow for adding physical game purchases like Nintendo does.

  • respawnLUL respawn  (@respawnLUL) reported

    @MostlyBrockish @PaulTassi @Forbes For Nintendo I agree. But Xbox would never be able to release a handheld that would compete with their streaming service. Would be too far behind to catch up, that’s what I was meaning.

  • Wild_Rose_II Twilight Dreamer (@Wild_Rose_II) reported

    And maybe I am wrong, but XB3 from what I saw looks like it fixes a lot of the superficial issues I have with XB2 such as the weird voice acting and dialogue. also Nintendo, **** Hiroyuki Sawano and just port XBX to PC and/or Switch please and thanks.

  • Zapi_NNHS ¡Zappy (@Zapi_NNHS) reported

    Two things I hate about 3 and what nintendo should fix 1.ultra stamp 2.sloshing machines f*** hitbox.

  • Sammie87353157 Sammie (@Sammie87353157) reported

    @DisneyDLV there is a glitch on the Nintendo switch on the How far you’ll go quest, it won’t let me fish, I throw my fishing rod out but it retracts straight away every time!

  • Andy300822 Andy C (@Andy300822) reported

    @dragon_fallsx @NintendoUK Good luck getting a reply. Selfish customer service, complete lack of care to their customers leading them on in the way that they are.. And when it’s all been and gone, and many people miss out, we won’t hear an apology from them for badly mishandling the situation.

  • grumpyoctopus1 grumpyoctopus (@grumpyoctopus1) reported

    @MCG_Raven @JonComms And lastly, nintendo had no problem spoiling things for this game in trailers so claiming thats why luaras model was prisrine isnt something ill ever buy into

  • Anon_Emouse48 Anon-Emouse (@Anon_Emouse48) reported

    @goodolgator Having said that I do dislike both Nintendo and Sony for not working harder to kill the scalping market
