Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AlphaRed359 AlphaRed (@AlphaRed359) reported

    @RoxieLolbit @NintendoAmerica And hey, a problem I've heard some people had with Skyward Sword with motion controls was that they were left handed, and couldn't use the Wiimote properly as a result, so this fixes that

  • SenpaiJokeri Oskari 🇫🇮 (@SenpaiJokeri) reported

    @BasedStudMuffin Hello alpha male studmuffin!!! I have a huge problem, my wifes boyfriend thinks its weird if i ********** in closet wearing spiderman costume. How can i twist his mind to accept it, He has few days let me out playing with my Nintendo switch and drinking Soylent. Can you help me?

  • huntgbunt Huntgbunt (@huntgbunt) reported

    @elliotduby But does Nintendo actually want Crash in? That is the question.

  • RRose2312 RedRose2312 | Looking for Higurashi mutuals! (@RRose2312) reported

    I'm fairly chill and not bothered by most things but Nintendo's controller drift is something that genuinely irritates me. It's a really annoying problem that almost every single person who owns a switch console has. Joycons around here genuinely cost more than the actual games.

  • Korbonite John Garou 🇺🇲 (@Korbonite) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Can't wait for the servers to lag more with Nintendo paste eaters.

  • JonDoyleDesign Jon Doyle (@JonDoyleDesign) reported

    @Qufasa Not a fan of $70 either but I’m also not a fan of content being made for and saturated values inherited with subscriptions. Different models suit different content, Nintendo and Sony are built around front loaded single player ms is aiming for engagement and service

  • Little_S_I_X Little Six (@Little_S_I_X) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Can’t use a joy con cause they drift, Nintendo 0_0. I suppose it isn’t a problem tho, right?

  • rawker28 Richard Clark (@rawker28) reported

    @Brandon79151370 The way things are going it could be a couple of weeks before a patch fixes that issue. I have no idea how the game got certified on the Nintendo Switch as it's got a game breaking bug! Hopefully the patch does fix all these issues though.

  • odditystew Orlando C (@odditystew) reported

    “At least Nintendo tells us when a game is going to be delisted!” Bruh, they OWN THE SERVICE. This is entirely artificial scarcity. Nintendo nerds are just brain poisoned at this point. No corporation is your friend. Stop defending them!

  • Cionyl Cionyl (@Cionyl) reported

    @stopskeletons There has been a lot of talk regarding a new service Nintendo will be offering in the near future, and the word is these three games were used as tests for it before it actually gets announced and goes live. Time shall tell if its true though...

  • GiovannyLite Giovanny (@GiovannyLite) reported

    @evoslayer @NintendoAmerica I havnt got to him yet but I’m doing every side mission as I go so I shouldn’t have a problem

  • mallydobb Kahlil - بلا روحي و قلبي (@mallydobb) reported

    @NintendoAmerica switch news and game videos are not working, Nintendo internet problems or issues with eshop?

  • lookinpeashy Unban Lunalight Tiger (@lookinpeashy) reported

    @Jon_Noaych @NintendoAmerica Sloan just kinda broken. But I mean, BD players and finding dumb ways to farm.go hand in hand.

  • Saphicx Sapphicx (@Saphicx) reported

    @_kysyami_ Looking on the Nintendo website, they will fix the joycons for you for free if it's drifting but depending on how bad the damage is you might want to contact them. Sorry you had to go through that :(

  • MrBimse MrBimse (@MrBimse) reported

    @MojangSupport @dungeonsgame my MC Dungeons closes due to an critical error. 3 times today. Also lagging in playing + loading. Nintendo Switch 🙄 after latest dlc in your season pass.

  • NorthernNobody_ social distancing before it was cool (@NorthernNobody_) reported

    @KindaFunnyVids I hate this whole routine of "wait for $60 ports just to be able to access older titles" everybody has adopted. Nintendo should just dump all their classic titles on a cloud based emulation service. That way there's no worry with future console compatibility.

  • Gx3RComics 🦈 Shark Attack! 🦈 (@Gx3RComics) reported

    @SYACVG You know, Gabe Newell said: giving a service that's better than what they receive from pirates is the best way to stop piracy. Then look at Nintendo,aggressive against piracy & making it harder to buy their games for no reason. I don't pirate, but it's a quote to think about.

  • itsajebby jebby (@itsajebby) reported

    almost 1500 days have passed since nintendo released the switch and they still don’t have an online service that belongs in this century

  • m0mlyn PFIZER PAPI (@m0mlyn) reported

    anyone in need of a brand new nintendo switch dock? i can sell you mine! bought another one hoping that my switch would work on it, but my actual switch is just broken lol.

  • FF2389 Kurono (Josh) (@FF2389) reported

    @TwistingTop @NintendoAmerica There was no free camera control in Skyward Sword so it'll be a non-issue.

  • JohnSega5 John Sega, CEO of SEGA (@JohnSega5) reported

    @ChrisVoiceman I've been calling and calling Nintendo about these issues but they don't answer...

  • Bombushka3 Bombushka (@Bombushka3) reported

    @Polygon I’m not sure what the issue here is. Nintendo games rarely go on a meaningful sale, so if you want the game I would just buy it.

  • dragonnuzzler Alex (@dragonnuzzler) reported

    @starzergcraft @shouldertime @ottdogbuns nintendo hasnt fixed theirs so im doubting sonys capabilities to fix theirs as well

  • PsykoRobot PsykoRobot (@PsykoRobot) reported

    @Crzygreekdude @Italianclownz Why not Stadia/Luna? If the answer to why PS & Nintendo is MS wants the easy coin, then Stadia & Luna are just as good a move for XBox as supporting consoles. BTW Stadia is not sub service (Free@1080p) You might as well support all if it is about $ & not growing XB ecosystem & GP

  • elitetweet_bird Dutchies | elitetweet (@elitetweet_bird) reported

    which nintendo employee figured it was a good idea to allow eu-jp players to play with eachother in splatoon 2 with this online service

  • victortinoco200 🇵🇪Victor Tinoco🇲🇽 (@victortinoco200) reported

    @elliotduby In my opinion I would like to crash in smash for once and for all so that they give them a lesson of karma and do not disparage some characters who do not need that hatred (although some if they deserve it for the scratchy tactics of nintendo and its fans)

  • SLIMBREAD100 Slimbread (@SLIMBREAD100) reported

    @IGN As much as drift sucks is it really Sony's fault. They've gotten their joysticks from the same place for a long time(same with Microsoft, and I believe Nintendo), and it's only just now a major issue. Could the company just of sent out a bunch of faulty joysticks?

  • victorpech_ Victor Pech (@victorpech_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I can’t wait for this. Literally been holding out since the Wii U came out on finishing this game on Wii because I thought there’d be an HD version for Wii U. Glad I waited!! Hope they fix the constant reminders of what you are collecting everytime you load the game.

  • LSuperSonicQ LSuperSonicQ (@LSuperSonicQ) reported

    @StageCraftBeast What issue of Nintendo Power is this from? It seems interesting but with how many fake lost media things have been popping up lately I'm skeptical, especially with the concept

  • AaroniusLeonius Aaron (@AaroniusLeonius) reported

    @rikupone Ok yeah that's fair Smh nintendo fix the dang joysticks
