Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DrFalchion KC (@DrFalchion) reported

    @SimplicityMarx @NintendoAmerica Not to defend nintendo blindly but 1. they do admit there will be *some* bug fixes here (pls pls fix the rng seed thing) and 2. this is probably their admission that more patches will be needed.

  • CJGrizzdaone Super Saiyan Rose CJGrizzdaone (@CJGrizzdaone) reported

    @pory_leeks @NintendoAmerica But will it fix everything or anything? We’ll see

  • AzureSkySM sam - satyr is good for your health (@AzureSkySM) reported

    @NintendoAmerica it's good that it's being patched but unacceptable that it was released in this state in the first place performance aside the open world was extremely boring and lackluster, and rushing future games will create the exact same results of both technical and gameplay problems

  • 2SecondVision Anthony Deckard Young 🇺🇲🛡️ (@2SecondVision) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Good stuff since it'll finally shut up the whiners of this generation. God, never had a problem growing up with gamers till recently.

  • Eeveesona Eeveesona (Luna) (Super hyped for p5 4 3) (@Eeveesona) reported

    @PlayerEssence can anyone read give a picture on what it says on the link nintendo gave ..im getting a bad gateway and a 502 error..sooo (yeah ******* i guess)

  • REXBLASTER2 REXBLASTER (@REXBLASTER2) reported

    @NintendoAmerica They need to fix all the performance and frame rate issues to the S&V game. There are many errors that demonstrate the low quality, in addition, the objects and the people that appear and disappear meters away cannot be enjoyed well.😠😤

  • DouyinUS Google Buzz (@DouyinUS) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Your link is broken, and redirects to a bad gateway. Is it short enough to start a quick Twitter thread?

  • JohmamiJ Johmami (@JohmamiJ) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Unfortunate that they fixed the music problem after I had already finished the league🥲

  • LunarWingCloud Brandon #TeamViolet 💜 (@LunarWingCloud) reported

    @NintendoAmerica All I really want addressed is the framerate, the memory leak issue that messed up a few things like the E4 music looping wrong, and the online battle RNG manip to be fixed. I would also appreciate more detailed textures like they did with SwSh in updates but that will take time

  • AidenRS139 Aiden139 (@AidenRS139) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Glad they're making an effort to fix things though!

  • brave_cereza arven (@brave_cereza) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the bug where Ribombee isn’t in the game

  • saltyfries47 saltyfries47 (@saltyfries47) reported

    @NintendoAmerica nintendo please don’t fix the game it’s so much better with the stupid bugs

  • The32BitWolf Wolf H (@The32BitWolf) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the 5 star raid battles. Clock cuts time randomly, pokemon getting 3-4 moves and non effective moves do massive damage. Can't even ******* shiny hunt cause I can't get the herbs from raids even with lol 90 pokemon fighting with super effective moves

  • PErwinsson Erwinsson🇸🇪🇮🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼エルビンッソン (@PErwinsson) reported

    @NintendoAmerica No, we don’t need an update. The game is running perfectly on the Switch. No bugs, no glitches. No issues with the game at all. Don’t listen to the haters Nintendo.

  • KeyToAeris KeyToAeris (@KeyToAeris) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Then you should have delayed it to 2024 to fix the bugs plus add voice acting, BOTW level graphics and animations and actually good new Pokémon designs.

  • dab_guy21 Dab Guy (@dab_guy21) reported

    @AidenRS139 @NintendoAmerica But will it fix things is the big question

  • Tormelados Ney (@Tormelados) reported

    @NintendoAmerica This isn't enough. Nintendo should compile a list of known issues and address how you intend to rectify them for the player. This is the most inexcusable launch of a main Nintendo franchise the world has ever seen. Such a shame because the games could've been great. Embarrassing!

  • harry1ixoninsta Harry (@harry1ixoninsta) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon what about the broken indeedee raids?

  • FunMonkeyDsease Andrew Ortiz🦃 (@FunMonkeyDsease) reported

    @NintendoAmerica So you are adding ranked battles, fixing music and a "few" other bugs? Fix the frame rate, fix tera raids, fix the shiny accessibility. Ranked battling is the last thing on people's minds, fix the game.

  • Nuigi12 Nuigi (@Nuigi12) reported

    @pory_leeks @NintendoAmerica Remember when people said Pokemon wouldn't address the issues :/

  • JibbersThe JibbersTheMagicCrab (@JibbersThe) reported

    @spagetti_gamer @aidencalvin @JacobWolf Yeah probably. I also feel like they got the sentiment from nintendo that they werent gonna need it. Also there's a slight difference between the swt "tour" part and the finals. the problem is the finals, since nintendo seemingly didnt care abt the rest of swt.

  • Gonzo44685843 Gonzo (@Gonzo44685843) reported

    @CurvyKirby @NintendoAmerica Cmon man, the patch isn't gonna fix anywhere near everything. And mainline Pokemon definitely deserves its fair share of critique the last 10 years or so People have a right to expect a little more from these games from a technical and optimization standpoint

  • S1lver_Str1ker2 S1lver_Str1ker2 (@S1lver_Str1ker2) reported

    @Christi01378448 @NintendoAmerica Item clone glitch? Tf?

  • Qubanga Depressed Laker Fan (@Qubanga) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Can you fix the trash raids before the Charizard event comes out? Thatd be kinda nice

  • brady_love11 brady™ (@brady_love11) reported

    @NintendoAmerica i might actually buy it if you fix it

  • fatblackwoman brandy gomer (@fatblackwoman) reported

    @SimplicityMarx @NintendoAmerica Bug fix*

  • NoiseGhost_ Noise Ghost 👻タケシ@ポケモンGO (@NoiseGhost_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon Why don’t you fix Splatoon 3 if you take the feedback seriously?

  • kokomomomi Katana Landt (@kokomomomi) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon Hope you guys also address the issue with the lack of clothing options and let us where clothes other then the school uniforms.

  • AlexWor36373150 (GZ)Dark⭐️ (@AlexWor36373150) reported

    @ChoctopusYT @NintendoAmerica Lol fact I was one of the many players who use the Menu glitch in BDSP I had no glitch fun in sword and shield so this patch will be ignored by me until I got further research out of it

  • B34N_Matthew4r B34N_Matthew4rYT (@B34N_Matthew4r) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Don't patch the dupe glitch cause money go brrrrr.
