Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • CoomingAndGoing *** Cummander of The ***** Fleet (@CoomingAndGoing) reported

    @OrwellNGoode I can no longer afford physical copies of 3DS games I want I have to buy them online with nintendobucks. I see no issue with pirating Nintendo ****

  • saint_adnis ads (@saint_adnis) reported

    @Alexis01048551 @Zuby_Tech Nintendo pretty much dominates the top 10 selling games every year and they had a streaming service before GP came along. PS Now was the first subscription service. Xbox only started doing it due to poor game sales. Even now though, the games are empty or buggy or both

  • Static_Peaches Ⲣ ⲉ ⲁ ⲥ ⲏ ⲩ 🍑 (@Static_Peaches) reported

    My only problem with NatDex not being a thing anymore is being unable to store all of my old teams in a safe place. HOME aka a cloud isn't secure enough for me, esp since nintendo has cancelled sub auto-renewal without informing me before.

  • BetsyEllie eleanor 🧡🤍💖 (@BetsyEllie) reported

    @BandanaDeDeDe Hi, I realise this is out of the blue but did you ever manage to buy Splatoon 3 from the my nintendo store? I’ve been trying for a few days now with no luck, been trying to find a fix. Any help would be appreciated 😭

  • pinksheepies_ Çhårlïê 💗 (@pinksheepies_) reported

  • KeyToAeris KeyToAeris (@KeyToAeris) reported

    @DestDustin YOU PEOPLE ARE THE MAIN ISSUE WITH THE GAMES INDUSTRY YOU DONT EVEN WANT GAMES YOU WANT GLORIFIED MOVIES. IT STARTED WITH THE TRASH OF US AND THEN IT SPILLED OVER INTO THE REST OF PLAYSTATION AND THEN IT SPILLED INTO XBOX AND NOW ONLY NINTENDO IS THE ONLY ONE WHO MAKES GAMES!!!!

  • DocGetgood Doc Hunter Rise (@DocGetgood) reported

    @NintendoAmerica i'm happy my only issue is that it's not quite good enough for me to be a day 1 purchase CONSIDERING that the first now is always on sale for less then 20$ I will await the guaranteed 75% price drop sorry not sorry.

  • moonyonmars moony. (@moonyonmars) reported

    @sweetbabyrayn it’s not a problem perse, but probably something to mention in therapy. like how i abuse nintendos 7 day free trial for nintendo online. in this essay i will

  • your_dads_bully Cement Mixer Dan (@your_dads_bully) reported

    @PixelAverage @Kotaku Microsoft (and i think Nintendo too) didn't fight with their own fans in court to get out of being forced to fix it. They settled out of court and everyone walked away happy.

  • therealriniidp riniid (@therealriniidp) reported

    Well, the games anyways. It's hard for me to get excited when every new entry is gonna suck anyways. But this is a mostly Nintendo issue as well. The only video game series I seem to be invested in right now is Kirby. My babu can never dissapoint me : D

  • Master0fHyrule Master0fHyrule (@Master0fHyrule) reported

    @JakeNoseIt So basically Nintendo Switch has a bad connection issue?

  • MBmen11 Mr_Bmen11 (@MBmen11) reported

    @Yahya_no_1 @VGC_News Lol More than Nintendo imagine saying that when Nintendo charges for an online service that barely work and don't get started with their games prices that barely drop from full price

  • AlbertoSal9 Albert🍪's (@AlbertoSal9) reported

    @sammicches @NintendoAmerica Its a genuinely great game though, not just made for kids to enjoy and it is content sold separately if you want you can buy the base game for less. Also MarioxRabbids goes on sale often so i don't see the problem other than complaining

  • RobloxVoiceChat troy (@RobloxVoiceChat) reported

    @dyscheofficial @PoptartNoahh Right, I can understand that, but ripping client code from the game is incredibly easy to do. People can rebuild games with just that code. This isn't really much of a problem on platforms like Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo where ripping stuff is far more challenging to do.

  • 195limeridge 195 Limeridge (@195limeridge) reported

    @MoonzUGN @GaillinHiles @NikoMueller buddy PlayStation exclusives aren't for everyone / most people don't play em why do u think over 100m PS4s are out there and the PS exclusives dont even reach 30m like a Nintendo game does also PS is working on 5+ multiplayer service games for the future, wonder why?

  • AlgisKun Algis (@AlgisKun) reported

    @NeonHelix101 @OrwellNGoode Issue is that even used is worth that... the issue is: Nintendo does not have a way to provide those games, which should not be the issue as most of these games can be easily emulated.

  • Jason_the_Dave Jason_David (@Jason_the_Dave) reported

    @EudaimoniaEsq Other than Far Cry and Ghost Recon (I'm working on my backlog), I'm pretty much in the same boat. I fully admit that I'm part of the problem. If Nintendo released Chrono Trigger on the Switch, I'd buy it day one.

  • impulsebynature ⚡️ (@impulsebynature) reported

    @gamingpacifits @IGN No. Because the issue at hand is the 30% Sony takes on all digital sales. Which Steam, MS, and Nintendo also do. You take out Sony and the rest will be forced to change.

  • stuckinspincycl Lauren (@stuckinspincycl) reported

    They all work on husband's account but since kiddo doesn't have a Nintendo account we can't get anything to work. @NintendoAmerica you have a help line I can call because I have NO IDEA what he did or how to fix it.

  • Nick_Zerafa Nick Zerafa (@Nick_Zerafa) reported

    Nintendo really need to fix the automatic wall bounce goal in Mario football. Makes playing online not fun. Can’t really be ****** to play online anymore because of it.

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • ColorlessK ZeroChill (@ColorlessK) reported

    @Blun_Z I think the problem is people want Pokemon to change and improve but GF is like why bother when people will buy the product anyway? So they do them. It's not like Atlus, smaller Nintendo IPs, etc. when not buying a game will make a difference. It will make them feel better though

  • THEMILKY92 THEMILKY (@THEMILKY92) reported

    @MldGhost Basically MLD Ghost, you clout chase, as bad as this is for Sony, you do it because you want you're system to be the only system on the market. Sony is being gas lit over an issue that happens on all 3 systems, Nintendo being the worse.

  • Moonwalker_1986 Saad サアド سـعد (@Moonwalker_1986) reported

    @CapcomUSA_ Will you show some respect and fix the hideous loading times in both Resident Evil Remake and Resident Evil Zero Remake on Nintendo Switch?

  • thefiremaster22 Firesage22 (@thefiremaster22) reported

    @thicc_stick_boi I am sorta mentioning another issue, think when it comes to store fronts, the only consumer friendly in a anyway are Steam and Xbox store/Microsoft story, they have the best refund policy. You can't have started a download on the PS store and Nintendo doesn't do refunds, lol

  • InsomniacDoggo Fizz the Bimbork ΘΔ🏳️‍⚧️ (@InsomniacDoggo) reported

    @SupehSoph But my nintendo isnt broken

  • GelGelada Gelato (@GelGelada) reported

    @AndrossSF0 Is it available anywhere online? Or just broken scans of it here & there? I was surprised to find the Falco comic still up & kicking on JP Nintendo's website (for the moment) & some ads for Adventures.

  • cuppakouhii arcade head Kouhii ☕ (@cuppakouhii) reported

    I almost wanna ask people who are defending CSP's new subscription model, saying it's not bad Did you say the same thing about the Nintendo Online subscription service? Or...?

  • JackalzoneArts Kat | Jackal (@JackalzoneArts) reported

    I have HAD IT! @PaladinsGame I want to play your game, but I physically can't! I keep crashing every single time I load it up! Why make it available on the Nintendo Switch if there is nothing really being done to solve/fix the CONSTANT crashing Switch players like myself have to

  • starwynd Flower Fairy Flora 🌻 (@starwynd) reported

    @NianticHelp Seems to be an issue with Nintendo login for Pikmin Bloom when using the CloudFlare Warp service. I’ve had the same issue on multiple wifi networks and it goes away if I switch CF:W off.
