Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Lem0th3 uninterested Møth (@Lem0th3) reported

    Nintendo online service was a bigger mistake than me.

  • SwitchDump5 Switch Dump (@SwitchDump5) reported

    @AllHunterMHW @NintendoAmerica This is the problem with plurality voting systems.

  • Tentatrises Tenta (@Tentatrises) reported

    @LimeKi97 @NintendoAmerica Yup, that's the problem. A little trolling is ok, even taunt sometimes. But some people just want to be mean and that's what make people want to play solo or even stop playing the game.

  • JasmineEve Joanne Era 〄 (@JasmineEve) reported

    Reaching out to @Nintendo @NintendoAmerica #NintendoSwitch community, my controllers are not connecting anymore after the update and there’s no available fix yet, it’s been a week. I have disconnected everything and only joy-cons reconnected. I bought a new controller and still

  • Encapsulatte Kai (@Encapsulatte) reported

    So yeah, I don't dislike achievements in principle. They can be pretty cool! I don't even particularly have an issue with multiplayer ones... if its a multiplayer game. If Nintendo ever does achievements I'm not going to complain about Splatoon's requiring a lot of Turf War.

  • MarioFanatic64 Scollectathon (@MarioFanatic64) reported

    @GalacticPirate_ @NinEverything I get that it's a third party app, and a pre-existing service, but they've made a new app specifically for Switch photos, with Nintendo-themed filters and stuff. Why not make that an eShop app? It cuts out the middle man and brings more attention to the product.

  • fabean01 fabean🍊 CP: Neir and P4(Downbad Arc) (@fabean01) reported

    @Sonlytical @nintendolife I doubt it since he is owned by 4 kids and originally an anime character so they're would be licensing issues but don't be sad he will appear in the mario movie since he is Nintendo's second mascot

  • TheAgeofGemini Azure (@TheAgeofGemini) reported

    @Ixbran @NintendoAmerica Isn't that more of a problem with the writing rather than the character himself? Kidnapping and trying to get the pieces of the Triforce in the first game is pretty intricate thinking. Humanoid Ganon is just another guy, wheres pig Ganon is demonic and terrifying.

  • Rzr_Wing Daniel Molinar III (@Rzr_Wing) reported

    @NintendoAmerica my friend @TeeJay311 is able to somehow get the volcano badge IMMEDIATELY after getting the boulder badge and on top of that he met Tracey at the same time which is NOT canon in kanto please fix this.

  • Legoguy9875 Legoguy9875 (@Legoguy9875) reported

    @ShadowErickX This is just speaking from personal experience, as I recall Nintendo had a similar supply/demand problem back when the Switch released, though probably not as rampant.

  • MoamalKadhem Moamal Kadhem (@MoamalKadhem) reported

    @deepsilver Saints Row IV on Nintendo Switch is still broken, and we still stuck forever in the loading screens, Why don't you guys pay attension to the game? And fix the loading screen issues, I know you will tell to contact the support, but I did, multiple times, and nothing happened.

  • AddledDoctor The Doctor 🌙🐍🌊 #VTuber Villain Deity (@AddledDoctor) reported

    @StolasCorax @vtZenith I think Zenith is referring to some VTubers who are straight up recolours or mild tweaks of existing IP characters or Gijinkas of known properties. They'll get into a lot of trouble, especially if it's a Nintendo or Disney property.

  • lukeethelatvian Luke (@lukeethelatvian) reported

    @mickey_smash It would be very odd if Crash didn’t make it given how popular he is plus the Nintendo vs Sony war in the 90’s is much more relevant

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • joe_ch1p Joe Chip (@joe_ch1p) reported

    @TenderPantyz I think the Switch Pro is inevitable at some point and I’d like to see it this year. But there would still be the issue of storage unless Nintendo put an SSD in the Pro and while I’d love to see that, I’m not sure Nintendo would be prepared to do it. Here’s hoping.

  • realkaybeeguy Kaybee (@realkaybeeguy) reported

    @mickey_smash Probs Crash. We already know Nintendo would have to deal with Disney in order to get Sora in Smash. You all know how that would go.

  • DomsPlaying Dom (@DomsPlaying) reported

    @LegoSkeletor Agreed. Sony projects value by offering premium titles. Comparable to Nintendo's model. I don't expect launching games into the service, more for back catalog and occasional third party partnerships.

  • janxp__ Carlos (@janxp__) reported

    @kn2_official Yup me too I don't think Nintendo would want to lose money because no one would by from Eshop. I have no issue with the Xbox community I'm cool with them but a lot of them seem to have lost touch of reality

  • sloththeweeb Weeabitch (@sloththeweeb) reported

    @mickey_smash I'd say Crash since Nintendo and Sony seem to be on good footing and they haven't had a rep yet, and while Nintendo and SquareEnix have been friendly recently, they already have 2 reps from them, including one in this Fighter's Pass, so I think Sakurai would want to broaden it.

  • vallee_cv Chris Vallee (@vallee_cv) reported

    @Warface Did u forget warface on Nintendo switch because the game is broken it won't let me play team deathmatch 😡😡😭

  • meiklmuell Meiklmuell (@meiklmuell) reported

    @sir_eeee Because of all great RPGs would be within that. I do not yet have an PS5 this will follow with the next revision of it. If they eliminate the technical issues and If it ever will be available. So.... Oh I said something Bad about PS5 am I a fanboy of Xbox or maybe Nintendo or...?

  • paIatoo palatoo #palacast (@paIatoo) reported

    nintendo please i didnt disconnect from my battle someone literally crashed people's game 1 by 1

  • ArcaneBowser Arcane | #TeamGodzilla (@ArcaneBowser) reported

    @RealKalo__ @Karbuitt So wait, if Nintendo released a new Kid Icarus that had Pit and Viridi in appearances that made them look in the 20s, would there still be a problem? No, no their ******* wouldn't. Just because they haven't canonically gotten older doesn't mean they physically can't

  • ZCalliger zac (@ZCalliger) reported

    hey @PaladinsGame i understand the need for a deserter punishment, but the nintendo switch version of the game is very unstable and I disconnect a lot. It gets annoying when trying to play and there’s an hour long timer, when we disconnect from the game crashing.

  • Karan_WZ 🇲🇽 Karan @ home and sleeping (@Karan_WZ) reported

    @corpusbonds Yeah, scalpers for Nintendo stuff in the US are more common. Even Latin America doesn't have this problem. Keep an eye if there's a pre-order or something if you wanna.

  • markmoreve Mark Moreve (@markmoreve) reported

    @NintendoUK Trying to cancel my sons mistaken Yearly subscription to your service & get a refund is ridiculous! You want me to name 3 games he’s bought! He never bought any games & it was all a mistake! Just give me a refund!

  • Nextwave_Gaming Ian Salter (@Nextwave_Gaming) reported

    @joshuarolson Ethan Hunt, and didn't look it up, I have the name memorized thanks to having seen it in a issue of Nintendo Power back in the day

  • J4i737 Jaison 🏳️‍🌈 (@J4i737) reported

    @Brage42706162 @0Bennyman @IGN Not to disregard the taxes in other countries cause it's a big problem but in the UK the other companies i.e. Nintendo/ Microsoft continue to retail at around £45. But as I say it's just crappy, I'd assume to make headlines and do the whole Apple "confidence" thing.

  • TankieSayRelax Chillmortal Science (@TankieSayRelax) reported

    @normshift @tristan__isaac @cloutchomarx Tristan never reads anything longer than a Nintendo Terms of Service pop up. Lazy *** can’t even do his own housework. Has time to tweet cuz his white guilty housemates clean up after his anime fool *** + his girlfriend does all his chores. Nobody should listen to this chump.
