Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

    @VgDiegazo I have issues with plenty of things. I think Nintendo did bad things. I preordered Fire Emblem. I think proxy food delivery services are terrible. I sometimes order from them. We all do that. All of us. It's fine to admit that. Just be honest.

  • janimba21 Danny (@janimba21) reported

    @Falco_X Lol dude they had no issues keeping their games off sega consoles during the 90s and had no problems ditching Nintendo in favor of playsation. Their main issue is that their games have become horrible.

  • AlucardC99 AlucardC99 (@AlucardC99) reported

    @CrispsShottt @NESbot_feed Both Xbox, Nintendo and PlayStation lose money on console sales. It’s why subscriptions exist to make up for the loss. The ps3 didn’t have a subscription service at launch it’s why it costs $600 damn dollars. Once they realized people weren’t buying PS+ happened and it was $399

  • Jasonsherwood Jason Sherman (@Jasonsherwood) reported

    @HoegLaw I think it's more an error of language then logic. Because like I said, Nintendo are a fundamentally different product & system. Ultimately, I think the whole foundation of mergers law is flawed. In general market concentration has been born out to be a bad thing for consumers.

  • jojo_games JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R (@jojo_games) reported

    [EU region] The issue that Early Access for DLC character Risotto Nero could not be activated properly in the Collector's Edition Season Pass for Nintendo Switch has been resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience.

  • jlobkowicz Joshua Lobkowicz (@jlobkowicz) reported

    When playing @FallGuysGame on @NintendoAmerica Switch, some things haven't loaded for days. Some icons. Some items I'm the store. The images for the shows. Anyone else having this issue?

  • Willy_Trombone Wojciech Olczyk (@Willy_Trombone) reported

    @NintendoUK pls fix the framerate

  • supersonicfan61 springtrap ( shadow the hedgehog edition) (@supersonicfan61) reported

    I have seen ppl saying Nintendo should buy sonic and I don’t want that to happen except if they also buy sonic team because the main issue with sonic team isn’t sonic team them selfs Sega have been rushing their games not giving them enough time

  • _kikujiro Green apple🌱 (@_kikujiro) reported

    @Renxius Nintendo will fix joycon drift for free! You just have to send them in

  • heyyyitschase chase (@heyyyitschase) reported

    nintendo pls stop LOWERING MY SALMON RUN RANK WHEN **YOUR** SERVERS DISCONNECT US BEFORE THE MATCH EVEN STARTS 😭😭

  • g35827968 Jim Gordon (@g35827968) reported

    Tomorrow's Nintendo will launch Nunita told reporter in Kuwait June 2019 that because of W. visa issue, not reopening China concerns explained India cooks plant readymade plant #modnargathsah

  • DanDangDoneIt DanoftheDangDead (@DanDangDoneIt) reported

    @ArdentSlacker @JimSterling I think there's a very significant chance you're correct. Unfortunately I keep hearing people toss around depression as the issue, so I move to the inarguable fact that neither Platinum nor Nintendo created the situation she wields for pity.

  • oliver_ia Oliver Blank (@oliver_ia) reported

    Conflicting button names between Xbox and Nintendo Switch is clearly one of the biggest issue, next to the no universal naming convention issue.

  • AnimationVsFNF Animation vs. Friday Night Funkin' (@AnimationVsFNF) reported

    fun fact:this mod was gonna be in ps1 and nintendo and android but the person we got to help had some problem (might still have android in v2)

  • fabs10138273 Ps5, Series X, Pc (@fabs10138273) reported

    @MonkeyKingZobe Because they Show that bayo has massive performance problems. Its okay that nintendo dont give their games proper budgets but at least make it perform great.

  • WLHQYT WLHQ (@WLHQYT) reported

    Nintendo Switch UI Demo is kinda broken right now. Sorry for the inconvenience this is currently causing.

  • acrazedtragedy rhi🦝 (@acrazedtragedy) reported

    Yesterday my works Nintendo wii stopped working and whilst I was trying to fix it, one of the kids shouted ‘Mr Gorbachev tear down this wii’

  • BaronessLilith 🏳️‍🌈Goddess Queen Lilith, Daughter of Hatred (@BaronessLilith) reported

    Re: Bayonetta 3: I guess the actress who said **** just ****** lied? Still not thrilled about playing it because I hear it unsurprisingly has framerate issues. Nintendo really shot themselves in the foot big time making the Switch so goddamn underpowered.

    nintendo wii broken

  • featheredguts 🍂weird autumn👻 | Leilani Lychee 🌸Mateus (@featheredguts) reported

    i love how i paid $80 for a game i cant play thanks nintendo i hope your money goes to hiring more youtube takedown teams instead of improving your online service

  • FrontlineGamer Prince Tybalt (@FrontlineGamer) reported

    @Genki_JPN @faulkie87 @PersonaSpeaks This has been my point all along. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But people get touchy when I make it. The problems facing Japanese developers aren't just PlayStation based, which I'm sorry to say many people on here will seem to suggest. Nintendo also present a massive problem given their... 1/3

  • JonTPeterson Jonathan Peterson "Base Model Junkie" (@JonTPeterson) reported

    @Falco_X Square Enix’s W’s & L’s have nothing to do with ignoring XB or not. They eat well between PS and Nintendo, well as they could. Their issue is half-assing their non-Final Danrasy titles up to this point. Either in development, marketing or both.

  • ExpansionLord Ryusoulger (@ExpansionLord) reported

    @PantherKing14 @PownicMania5000 Basically the logic was if you're not gonna support Ubisoft, you shouldn't support Nintendo either because they're guilty of similar things and he used a site to list all of the issues wrong with the company.

  • Architect_Augur Augur (@Architect_Augur) reported

    @Kawaii_ET @Tyler_McV I’ve had my Index since launch and even punched a few things by accident. I don’t understand the broken controller issue. Mine are fine. I feel like the reports are exaggerated. It’s not like the Nintendo joy con issue where literally every controller quickly develops drift.

  • fabs10138273 Ps5, Series X, Pc (@fabs10138273) reported

    @MonkeyKingZobe Nintendo is praised for perfect polish which is obviously not true. Whats the problem?

  • slurffje mila ☾*‧₊ (@slurffje) reported

    will nintendo ever fix the splatoon communication errors

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 465 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Pirate_Pete_ Pete 🖖 (@Pirate_Pete_) reported

    @WorldsXbox @Ulysses_203 Poor games that have not done well in Japan, plus cost of living starting to effect countries How you turned it into Nintendo/Sony thing, god knows how you reached that conclusion when they didn't even say it was the problem

  • Splatoon3lab Splatoon 3 Lab (@Splatoon3lab) reported

    @zalwox In the update 1.2.0. there was a glitch where when you pick a rainmaker after breaking a checkpoint the score will go down to 1. Nintendo removed it from rotation and bring it back now in update 1.2.1.

  • Dragonogon 🏳️‍🌈Dragonogon🏳️‍⚧️🐲 (@Dragonogon) reported

    nintendo are cowards they should've brought back the reverse mushroom in mario party superstars in all its broken and unfair glory
