Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • CounterVince2 Vince (@CounterVince2) reported

    Simping for game series made by a certain game companies like mario, Rayman or Crash is fine, there’s nothing wrong with that Simping for game companies like Nintendo, Ubisoft or Activision……is kinda unhealthy

  • Troopper102 Deezin (@Troopper102) reported

    @TomBuckley87 @swshriv @NintendoAmerica The problem is we can already play these games for free with emulators and the service Nintendo is offering isn't good enough to justify the price hike

  • Da_Samboni Pepe Silvia (@Da_Samboni) reported

    @nintendo you better fix this golf game

  • PrValkyrie PrValkyrie (@PrValkyrie) reported

    @RepentantSky Now Nintendo gotta deal with tons of broken Joycon sticks. I am definitely gonna have to recommend to people pro controllers for this one.

  • spikevegeta spikevegeta (@spikevegeta) reported

    @ghoul02 I imagine this will lead to more broken Joycons and Pro Controllers then lost skin, which still sucks, lmao. Nintendo whyyyyyyyyy?

  • ExtraKotaru Kotaru (Spoopy 🎃) (@ExtraKotaru) reported

    @SArchonedd I heard that was Nintendo's move to counter back to PlayStation 2's DVD features, but it didn't seem to work lol. Also yeah, the VMU is another feature that should be added. NullDC had it if I remember correctly, but that Emulator is old, broken and hasn't been updated in years.

  • matthewrothfuss Matthew Rothfuss (@matthewrothfuss) reported

    @cmgroux Your piece on the Nintendo Switch Online couldn’t be more misinformed or more slanderous. The reason for the negative reaction is because the price is over double the current service and does nothing to address the many weaknesses to Nintendo’s Online.

  • SammiTron Sammi (@SammiTron) reported

    I just realized I’m on my 4th Nintendo switch. I don’t have a problem, you have a problem

  • basedpersona4 Based Persona 4 Facts (@basedpersona4) reported

    @bullexto1 I literally mained every single Nintendo console until I got my PC this year and even then I still main my Switch 😳 It’s not a problem for me since Nintendo gave me Splatoon but having multiple consoles/PC is just nutty and always better

  • SlaveJonLasiora 🇬🇧🇯🇵Hong Kong slave john (@SlaveJonLasiora) reported

    @dragonballgames I’m a Nintendo Switch user. My Dragon Ball Kakarot keeps crashing randomly after I cleared the main story mode. I cannot find the pattern to cause the crash as it is so random. I am using the latest version (v1.11) already. Please fix.

  • MegamiMizu2 Megami Mizu (@MegamiMizu2) reported

    @DonaldMustard Please negotiate with Nintendo try to see if you could do a skin for their online service so they do not need to worry about people buying Samus on PlayStation and Xbox

  • hanbutvintage han♡spooky tiddies🎃 (@hanbutvintage) reported

    I need nintendo to fix the waterfall sounds that’s all I want in the new update lol

  • Kai_Wizzy Kai Wizzy (@Kai_Wizzy) reported

    Does ANYONE know who knows how to fix Nintendo Switch screens cause I don’t wanna buy a new one, I rather pay for someone to put a new one in

  • TheLoneWolfMerc Kloud Leonhart (@TheLoneWolfMerc) reported

    @Jack___Fr0st I 100% agree. PlayStation fanboys aren’t that toxic, in fact, they’re very loyal PlayStation fans, but the problem is that they get pissed when PlayStation games go to PC. Whereas Nintendo fanboys, they always harass developers & other people when it’s something they don’t like.

  • Koncreet Oz Parish (@Koncreet) reported

    @BigBashMan_ It's a big problem the Wii and DS had. They were hugely geared towards casuals, and said casuals bought them up, and so many developers capitalized on that. Both had so many low-effort cash grabs. It's notable how much less we see on Nintendo consoles before and after those.

  • redtaiga67 Trishyboi™️ (@redtaiga67) reported

    @NianticHelp I keep getting an error code when trying to sign into my Nintendo account to connect pokemon home to Pokémon go 🥲

  • JIMRHANKINS Jim R. Hankins (@JIMRHANKINS) reported

    @BirdMother216 @NintendoAmerica It really feels bad how your account has been suspended I had same issue not until I was recommended to @ballersacademy and he got it fixed today hit him up and be happy again

  • X234Kyle Hero Of Fright XIII (@X234Kyle) reported

    I absolutely think that Nintendo could easily justify a $50 a year price point for their upgraded subscription service, especially since $60 is kind of the industry standard. The issue comes down to the quality and quantity of content they’re offering with that upgrade.

  • afflatusmiisery Elysia, undead ******* 👻 (@afflatusmiisery) reported

    look I'm not defending Nintendo or their business practices but this is easily the least salient part of this whole thing literally every subscription service works this way but people are shitting themselves over this because it's Nintendo

  • w00t000 woot000 (@w00t000) reported

    @KirbyCheatFurby @HoegLaw this seems like an extraordinarily bad decision for nintendo to make with the new mario party game could a problem arise for nintendo like it did when the first mario party released

  • Mysteriousdbzgt ★Jazzy excitedly waiting for T&B2 -Is it 2022 yet★ (@Mysteriousdbzgt) reported

    Actually very surprised that they’re bringing this back, knowing all the problems it caused. There’s some ********* staff at Nintendo. At least everyone has been warned, because that’s really going to do a lot. Especially when playing with the N64 Switch controller :3c

  • Angelo_Corrente Angelo Corrente (@Angelo_Corrente) reported

    Yet again I am asking @Nintendo @NintendoAmerica To fix their ****** online

  • BUSSCRO CUSS BROTHER (@BUSSCRO) reported

    Super Mario Brothers (1985, Nintendo) GLITCH: A programming error results in most enemies disappearing if Mario lands on top of them. Prudent players may take advantage of this bug to render several screens easier to clear.

  • Manx88546163 Manx (@Manx88546163) reported

    @Riskit4TB Nintendo switch pokemon prob fix

  • willemdafog Will (@willemdafog) reported

    Is anyone gonna talk abt the fact that Nintendo said they were releasing sm64 as a timed exclusive but it’s now put on their subscription service like wtf is that about

  • TFS0ul Noah (@TFS0ul) reported

    @pansyleaf @NintendoAmerica Login on the website and you can manually deregulated whoever did it’s switch as the primary and re-register your own, then change password
