Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Lumpimp lumpus (@Lumpimp) reported

    i thought about this last night in the shower: since nintendo is seemingly heading towards this more "choose your style" approach in games (which i love btw), i dont see why the magypsies in mother 3 would be too much of an issue

  • 16BitsOfLucky Lucky Stone (@16BitsOfLucky) reported

    @mysterydip @sincespacies Likely due to Nintendo playing it safe until they were sure the videogame crash fully passed

  • DianeThePunk DIANE the PUNK (@DianeThePunk) reported

    I can also fix joycon drift but that's something you're better off going through Nintendo for since they don't charge for it but I do.

  • Yoship424 Malik Perry (@Yoship424) reported

    @a_wild_zubat_ow And there goes that pathetic excuse. "Oh, they're still making games, so that means the pandemic is no problem for them". I didn't know you work for TPC, GF or Nintendo. Please tell us more about the process of the upcoming games.

  • littlemacguy littleman (@littlemacguy) reported

    @Destructo_Dan Im 100% expect itll be someone else other than crash Not cus i dont want him cus its nintendo

  • PorterJonD2 Jonathan Davila (@PorterJonD2) reported

    @Jongo_bosh @perinileonardoo @IGN Thats the issue, a rebrand isn't a failed product, that's like Nintendo never changing the name of it's consoles and always calling them NES, so the NES failed because today it's called the switch? Inbox for Gmail was considered a failed product lol because it's gmail now

  • nipodil nipodil (@nipodil) reported

    @OnThisDayGaming nintendo better put it on the switch online service.

  • smbflurry just a flurry | BLM (@smbflurry) reported

    @VincenzoPlays @sincespacies I've seen people cite the NES cart thing as Nintendo trying to mimic a VCR saying that it was an "entertainment system" because retailers were too afraid to stock "video games" after the crash they just went through.

  • SolidNopeRope Everett (@SolidNopeRope) reported

    @Evolust @sincespacies Nintendo suits can't even figure out their online service so don't confuse them too much there with the idea of release cycles :p

  • BeardAdept BeardAdept (@BeardAdept) reported

    @TheNCSmaster I just don't get how Nintendo hasn't done this already. Make NSO $60 per year and add all of this. People would pay the money just for these games to be accessible again. Who gives a **** about the actual online service? Lol

  • owlixgames Owlixgames (@owlixgames) reported

    @KyeofPie @avjattard @PressStartAU The problem is the ps4 controllers in general. They are known for their poor quality. My xbox and Nintendo controllers last forever

  • brian_mostrom Brian Mostrom ↙️↙️↙️ (@brian_mostrom) reported

    @USEmCee @YourFave3E Cool, worst comes to worst you can crash on my couch. Children may poke you awake at 8 or so to play Nintendo, but I figure that's not a problem for you.

  • EugeneKaninchen Uncle Rabbit 🔞🐰🐇 (@EugeneKaninchen) reported

    @MrRandem Dunkey's biggest issue is that he doesn't understand that the grind is just a part of DQ, the games would be like an hour long if you didn't have to stop and grind between levels And I say this as someone who has LOVED every DQ since he got his free DW with Nintendo Power

  • nicomon7 Grovy Sparky (@nicomon7) reported

    @Stealth40k Now, if a miracle happens, and this E3 Nintendo remembers than Variety Exist, Crash & Spyro in Smash and/or a Star Fox 1st party game, Well, maybe i can recover my faith... But the truth is, than THAT, with the current Nintendo is Impossible plus 7/8

  • JackoftheGees Jack E. Gee (@JackoftheGees) reported

    @Skititlez @Stealth40k On one hand, I really want to have all those games playable on Switch. On the other, WHY WON’T NINTENDO LET ME BUY THEIR LEGACY CONTENT INSTEAD OF SUBSCRIBING TO A SERVICE?!

  • ibismojo72 ibismojo72 (@ibismojo72) reported

    @Nintendo Remaster all the old pokemon games on the switch or we're gonna have problems

  • NameConsole Random Console Name Generator (@NameConsole) reported

    PlayStation Nintendo error

  • GuyYouTalkTo Dominic Last Name (@GuyYouTalkTo) reported

    @NovaEnforcer15 @OfficialRWBY @NintendoAmerica I would hope so. Or else there goes another thing Rooster Teeth has made crash and burn

  • gwheel5 COGwheel5 (@gwheel5) reported

    @mattswider I want the Nintendo Blue / Neon Yellow Joy-Con (L-R) - Switch #59 Mine are broken!

  • Lanron99 Lan Ron 7k || DM me to Promote you || (@Lanron99) reported

    I’m having trouble hacking my Nintendo switch and loading CFW

  • iD0MINI0N JD - D0MINI0N / Juhn (@iD0MINI0N) reported

    @NintendoUK since the new Switch update, I am struggling to get on any digital format games, the loading screen just sticks and doesn't continue, I've tried maybe 4-5 digital games and none are loading. I haven't downloaded a game for a while so I know it isn't my problem

  • Khir41206063 Khir (@Khir41206063) reported

    @FUNimation why your service at nintendo switch not available at malaysia

  • wes_cars Wes_Loves_Cars (@wes_cars) reported

    @GloriousKev @ShadowFAsura1 @rmvnda the only big problem I had with xbox was the fact that you had to pay for xbox live to play a free game that kind of defeats the purpose of a free game heck even nintendo understood that that's why they made it so when they made their service they let you

  • KacamnonYT Kacamn Games(main account) (@KacamnonYT) reported

    Sorry that I wasn't very active lately, because I'm in trouble with my mom right now but when I get my phone and Nintendo switch back, I be active again.

  • AltGerald925 Gene Gerald (@AltGerald925) reported

    @loogi_07 The game alone is fine. It’s a cool idea and it’s honestly a lot of fun. My problem is that once the game stops being updated from Nintendo. It’s not very fun to play without any new gear or slaptfest or just...anything. And dear god...the music...it’s...horrendous.

  • NickF19479498 Tweedledeedeez (@NickF19479498) reported

    @NintyPrime Ya I think because the leaks are true? The next smash dlc is crash followed by Ryu hyubussa? And the leaks you said... I think nintendo is making last minute changes? Tony hawk dragonball kakarot I called nintendo and asked where it was and he said nintendo has not announced it

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 86 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • AGuy25316793 A Guy (@AGuy25316793) reported

    @LeMercyMain @twilz353 @TaborTimeYT It is a glitch on nintendo switch,its part of the physics engine...gravity

  • 16BitsOfLucky Lucky Stone (@16BitsOfLucky) reported

    @mysterydip @sincespacies Likely due to Nintendo playing it safe until they were aure the videogame crash fully passed

    @_Alex_Roland_ @NintendoUK Girl, please don't try to take money from people who have such big problems that they'll waste money on unreachable girls. Have some decency.
