Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TheChocoFox Paleta de gorila (@TheChocoFox) reported

    @Razigator only happened twice, one time when i posted how bad was nintendo joycon drift problems and when i posted that i dont like steven universe anymore. both post ended up with horrible dms from random people.

  • HillelArt HillelArt (@HillelArt) reported

    @KirbyCheatFurby Because modern Nintendo has that funny issue with underdelivering with content in their new games

  • ExpansionLord Ryusoulger (@ExpansionLord) reported

    @dragularboi Ironically other games from other companies have pulled the same ****, and some of those were bigger titles or just had way more issues to discuss besides content. I don't think Nintendo's single player experiences will be affected though, it's mainly been multiplayer.

  • TristyChan Triston (@TristyChan) reported

    @dragularboi The issue with Splatoon 3 isn't the free updates, Nintendo has to try harder to convince me to buy the game 💀

  • DoudneyGaming DoudneyGaming (@DoudneyGaming) reported

    Hey @FortniteStatus @EpicGames @FortniteGame I'm playing on a Nintendo switch and my game has closed 4 times in the last 2 days. Please fix it

  • IlcuoreMaker ilCuore (@IlcuoreMaker) reported

    @markeyruiz97 Your level appears fine to me, just checked. Probably just a connection issue, maybe at Nintendo servers.

  • FinalGamerJames FinalMorbisJohnson, BLM, #TransRights (@FinalGamerJames) reported

    @fox_sanguine This is a US-only thing. It's not an advertising thing specifically, but rather a data-collecting service which yeah, is still not great, but it's not really a Nintendo thing but rather a "US Privacy laws are garbage" thing. So this bullshit is not in European Switches :)

  • DoopFizzle DoopFizzle (@DoopFizzle) reported

    One of the biggest changes of perspective I've ever had is when I learned that Nintendo didn't shut down their DS/Wii Wifi Service, but that the company that owned the company that hosted the servers shut down all of their servers so that they could focus on making games.

  • TheOGFaro Manifest Life of Your Dreams (@TheOGFaro) reported

    However, the staff employed to improve the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con drift problems were temporary staff employed by a staffing agency.

  • TheRealDEFOX DE' FOX (@TheRealDEFOX) reported

    @KurmaTheGod @Houkago_Jimtime With Nintendo it's either pirate, be fortunate enough to already own the games or pay for an overpriced online service

  • watIsAgoodUsern ru😼n (@watIsAgoodUsern) reported

    @feliquisds That is just an issue due to Nintendo's outdated drivers for USB audio. They probably work on all other devices you'll find with a USB port

  • ActonLeBrein Fiona Henderson (@ActonLeBrein) reported

    The matter became thus rife that over the years, many class-action lawsuits have been filed against Nintendo for Joy-Con drift problems.

  • stevnstuff stev (@stevnstuff) reported

    Won’t be home for a week starting tomorrow and my switch is broken so what games should I play on my Nintendo 3ds

  • Zathulu Zathꙮ: Manic Eldritch Dreamgod (@Zathulu) reported

    @HDminusworld Honestly Directs are nice. "Heres some stuff we are releasing in the near future" is pretty neat. Yes I am getting advertised at, but I am getting advertised at with my consent. The issue is Nintendo stumbling drunk into my bedroom at 4am going "SHOWING NEW GAMES TOMORROW!"

  • NotRoyalOne RoyalOne on TikTok (@NotRoyalOne) reported

    @JakeSucky While everyone is rightfully upset, this is how you get companies to not host tournaments anymore They would rather have no headaches or deal with any PR issues than shell out millions for something like this to happen again. Just look at Nintendo and the smash scene

  • juliancardano Edmund W Metahero/Tenset/Cardano/Everdome (@juliancardano) reported

    Just win a second hand copy of Diddy kong racing for my Nintendo DS gonna rev up my nostalgia engines. Only kart racer to rival Mario Kart sorry crash bandicoot you didn’t come close. 😎🤘🔥

  • angsaysroar angsaysroar (she/her) (@angsaysroar) reported

    @NintendoAmerica what the hell is going on with your website? I am trying to update my child's password and it will either give me an error or say the password was changed but when I try and sign on to the Shop, it tells me the password is incorrect.. what's the deal?

  • ICA_Agent_47 Agent47 (@ICA_Agent_47) reported

    @SagamiSword_ Xbox announcing subscription service: "They are trying to kill the industry" Playstation and Nintendo announcing expansions to their subscriptions. Silence. Xbox one has been the console that brought the most change to the way gamers use their consoles since the PS1

  • zodiacdragon13 sebastin guerrero (@zodiacdragon13) reported

    @PhillyBeatzU Wow you're telling me that The nintendo YouTube community 2 community has issues I wouldn't never would have thought of that it's not they have a history of acting out

  • lilacwonnie jason (@lilacwonnie) reported

    @FortniteStatus Please look into the glitch where Nintendo Switch players wouldn’t be able to turn around fully, change weapons, use sprint, interact with items and vehicles, etc.

  • MrNobod59746675 MrNobody (@MrNobod59746675) reported

    @nichegamer How many times does Nintendo need to drop the ball before giving us more of the stuff they are not sending here in USA? It's their most frustrating flaw. And with digital now a thing they cannot even claim it's a shipping issue.

  • nelson_anatoly Nelson Anatoly (@nelson_anatoly) reported

    @SakuraHime0381 @NintendoAmerica @FallGuysGame I have the same problem. Have you fixed it yet?

  • r_mcjim Robby (@r_mcjim) reported

    @blamethebacon @NoWay66121478 @messygirI I've done similar things with older Nintendo consoles. Buy them not working or damaged, replace a few parts and sell them for a FAIR price. In reality, you are doing the world a service tbh. You are taking a broken item and fixing it, rather than someone getting a "new" device!

  • randomguy314151 ramdonguy (@randomguy314151) reported

    @next_N_ F stands for frick! Why for feit -150?! If anything they get -150 cuz they cancel reschedule. NZ had lineup! Always! Rated P got scared (i wuld two) and got off on stupid rule! @nato @nintendo please fix this rule. I wont give brother robux! Justice always wins

  • UOY_404 Y0U (@UOY_404) reported

    @souIstyce VPC DQ with "error support Nintendo blablabla"

  • VgDiegazo Diegazo.. VA (@VgDiegazo) reported

    @LonelyGoomba @elijahthazkid i will always say that buying the parts and repair your joycons is the best way to go, in my country the fix/repair service is a joke, so waiting for something to never happen or getting replacements are no options. better fix it yourself, super easy and nintendo gets no profit

  • L4Cake Left4Cake (@L4Cake) reported

    @Jafartomo @CursedWordings @BrettpunkArt Yeah... this is an issue with un/hardly regulated economics getting to do whatever the hell they want. Nintendo is still just a company. Not trying to excuse this just the entire economic system as it is currently is the enemy here not specifically Nintendo.

  • CAPCOMANIAC Kempora Tashibana (@CAPCOMANIAC) reported

    @brale_fail @JamieMoranUK Not really. Choose the console you can afford/play.But don't belittle the other just because you can't afford it. you can play some ps games already,even nintendo on the xbox Not ps4/ps5 but you can. If you have financial trouble $500 is out of your budget then that makes sences.

    @MiguelArcos2003 I want to listen to Nintendo Radio on TuneIn but its experiencing an error

  • BrokenGamezHDR_ BrokenGamezHDR (@BrokenGamezHDR_) reported

    @OfficialXboxU Something can be a cash grab but can still be wanted by consumers. Nintendo fans will buy a 64 game with no improvements for $60. If its fine with them and they enjoy it then there is no issue.
