Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Demonica0 DMD00 (@Demonica0) reported

    @LittlePichi Exactly, we ain't ready for Nintendo Kart yet till Nintendo PROPERLY get's their Mario crew together. They done good with the characters that are in MK Tourn but the problem with that is it's mobile game hell, we need Pauline, Kamek, Nabbit and the DK crew in a console game.

  • Crimson_Mayhem_ Crimson Mayhem (@Crimson_Mayhem_) reported

    No excuse for Sony for not including any Crash or Spyro games on the PlayStation Classic. You could argue the remakes is the most definitive way to play, but I say Final Fantasy I has been remade/remastered multiple times and Nintendo still kept the original NES game.

  • Lewis_Seddon94 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 L⚒S 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Lewis_Seddon94) reported

    @elijah_pogi14 @NintendoUK Nope, I contacted their technical support, and because they have no information on the Error Code, there is nothing they can do to help at this moment in time. Said they will be in contact when they have more information. Ridiculous!! @NintendoUK

  • gy_sup SupNovaGY New Art Pinned 📌🍄⭐️☂️ (@gy_sup) reported

    @HoodMik1 Haha, no problem; happy someone suggested her for the Nintendo Six Fanart Challenge 💙

  • shmegegge Adam Contini (@shmegegge) reported

    So my Switch has finally developed the dreaded JoyCon Drift. Did Nintendo ever release better Joycons? What should I look for to fix this?

  • SinkoArt 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐎 (@SinkoArt) reported

    @Messiah_Abel @MegatenQuotes No problem man, yes from what I understand all the playstation consoles are easier to emulate than the nintendo

  • DunkChai DUNKCHAI | DunkChai (@DunkChai) reported

    @ZeeBeeBDJ Issue is Nintendo can tell at a passing glance if frozen stadium is on. Ucf isn't something that can be detected as a spectator, which is why he is drawing the line here

  • Hypperone Hypperone (@Hypperone) reported

    @TyrseStyles It's honestly a massive gut punch to people with breathing problems. Like barred from playing a game because of Nintendo's sickening need to jam unnecessary gimmicks into their games.

  • Chaoticaroace Jev (@Chaoticaroace) reported

    @The_Gibus_Man Most Mario characters getting cut out as a result is my problem. King Boo, my favorite Mario character, doesn't always show up as is, turn it into Nintendo crossover #2 and he's gone forever.

  • MarcheX800 Marche (@MarcheX800) reported

    @GuiltyFlygon @reggie_800 Problem is that there isn't anybody internally at Nintendo pushing for an earthbound revival like Sakamoto was for Metroid.

    animal crossing needs to add earrings @Nintendo fix this

  • dreamsboob aut (@dreamsboob) reported

    jenna and me having the same nintendo switch and back problems 😎😎

  • mikestinctively Robots Androids & Cyborgs - 🌠 (@mikestinctively) reported

    @NintendoAmerica FIX MARIO MAKER 2

  • pugsplz pugsplz/Rachel, Gerundway (@pugsplz) reported

    @shmegegge I just plan on having to buy new ones every 2000 hours of play or so, which is not ideal, but it's not even worth my time imo to try to get Nintendo to fix it unless you have a backup pair while you wait anyway.

  • SlyFelix 🎵 SlyFelix 🧩 (@SlyFelix) reported

    @FamiltFriendlPG @Tabulatelk15 @NintendoUK What's bad about it? The controls? Graphics? Story? If you don't like it, no problem. But it made the open world genre fresh unlike all the far cry clones. SMO being on the same tier is unfortunate. You can't really like that game fully if you don't care to learn hat tricks.

  • BlueFurryBoy Alexander Matthew Quillback (@BlueFurryBoy) reported

    @elliotduby That's the problem with the whole 'Nintendo Kart' thing. If Nintendo wants to do a Smash Bros. style kart racer, they'll make one. But because it's still Mario Kart, Mario characters are kinda the main selling point.

  • VideoGamesNYC Videogamesnewyork | Open 10-8 Daily Masks Required (@VideoGamesNYC) reported

    @Voultar 100%! If @krikzz products work on official hardware and not on the 3rd party @analogue system then it's pretty clear where the issue is. This is like asking Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo to replace your controller because it doesn't work with your Apple product 🤔

  • xGodzilla2012x Lorenzo Gamboa (@xGodzilla2012x) reported

    I’m only play #DeadbyDaylgiht on Nintendo switch now my ps4 not working can Reading disc waiting

    smokin broken windows playin my nintendo

  • MBDCSN DNJ (@MBDCSN) reported

    @Meowstyx I couldnt care less about Nintendo and their games but i fail to see whats everyones problem

  • Le_Basth 🦝🇨🇱◣B̓̀a̎̌ͯṩ̵̢̟t̾h◥🇨🇱🦝 (@Le_Basth) reported

    How to fix the Mk9/nintendo kart debate -make the base roster just Mario character and make the Nintendo reps unlockeables via challenges or through a in-game shop paying with the gold coins you collect throught the races

    @Slaughtin babies and pink gold peach only made up 5% of the entire roster. we can do without baby rosalina and pink gold peach but I don't think nintendo characters fixes that problem.

  • STL_Boy97 AtomBoy (@STL_Boy97) reported

    @PaulGaleNetwork True, but with the limited hardware, They might find themselves in need of something stronger sooner to get 3rd parties on board…but nintendo embracing indie devs like they have along with their 1st party games that might not be an issue

  • dnlnwmn Daniel Newman (@dnlnwmn) reported

    @soupness the moral of the story, though, is i should've ponied up the $90 to send it back to nintendo to have them fix it and called it a day.

  • MechaG_86 Stephen Thurmond (@MechaG_86) reported

    @SatWcomic I associate Japan with the entire video game industry, considering what Nintendo did after the crash.

  • Starapriv Stαrαlul (@Starapriv) reported

    @AlpharadP When linking my acc I tried signing in with google but forgot the pass to my alt so selected reset pass and went back and it became normal sign in screen and not Nintendo Switch share screen

  • Treydemarked Trey™ (@Treydemarked) reported

    Nintendo Kart speculation be like “Imagine wanting Vivian or Fawful, we should instead get characters like Kirby, Marth, Pit, and Crash Bandicoot!” And then Geno fans will still be left in the shadow lmao

  • NebulaHurricane cant think of a name currently (@NebulaHurricane) reported

    Can I be honest here can we not back up anyone who leaks then get in trouble with Nintendo and then everyone blames Nintendo for anything Like we all butch and complain about leakers yet it happens with pokemon and everyone with the leaker

  • ScratchyDerose Chris DeRose (@ScratchyDerose) reported

    @jasonlupas @actionhankbeard This is also a perfect excuse for Nintendo to finally put Crash Bandicoot in Smash. Just sayin...👀👉👈
