Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Antasma1 Antasma1 (@Antasma1) reported

    @SachiDragon @SuperMarioT_YT I’m very convinced the issue is that a lot of these Japanese game companies just don’t bother with what goes on in the west. Even Nintendo has an issue with that

  • ogilphone SourNack (@ogilphone) reported

    @VgDiegazo @IntroSpecktive Yeah, Nintendo fans are really the problem here. They took the smash killer meme seriously, and used it to **** on the game and its players. Makes sense why the devs would want people to stop.

  • oliver_drk Oliver Darko (@oliver_drk) reported

    @vicious696 Software wise this seems to be a Xbox specific problem because Nintendo and PlayStation are doing quite well in 2022.

  • damiel_smith Damiel Smith (@damiel_smith) reported

    @9Santy1 And rightfully so, I criticized ALL companies, Playstation, Nintendo & Xbox no one is excused from my criticism, I been alittle more lighthearted on Xbox cause I like Xbox, but they recently had issues that yes I will constantly address the situation when it backfires on them

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 298 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Sunbeamstone SunbeamStone (@Sunbeamstone) reported

    @Nintendo please fix #NintendoSwitchSports tennis online so I don’t have to play as two players, add in singles play.

  • Holly15065036 Glitch (@Holly15065036) reported

    Hey @LifeIsStrange I'm playing on nintendo switch and It keeps saying network offline and that I need to sign in from the main menu when I try to play stephs story. But i keep pressing Y to log in and nothing is happening. Some help with this would be great

  • SILENTKNlGHT ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ —リンク. (@SILENTKNlGHT) reported

    // watch Nintendo have the sequel's title be something like “Blade of the Goddess” and end up having the “spoilery title” Bill Trinen mentioned just be a reference to the Master Sword 'cause it's broken and needs to be reforged //

  • ericbaker Eric Baker (@ericbaker) reported

    This is absolutely ridiculous that I have to pay even more money to watch baseball on a different streaming service. What's next? Maybe games only on the Nintendo Switch? Very stupid move, #MLB! #SDvsATL

  • linkboy956 linkboy956 (@linkboy956) reported

    @Inkdemoncsfm Still hate it- Please fix this nintendo.

  • STAGEBLOQ STAGEBLOQ (@STAGEBLOQ) reported

    @MissDeusGeek Xbox is the only brand who ALWAYS gets a pandemic excuse. Do you even realize when you put pen to paper how many exclusives sony and Nintendo have already dropped in the same years compared to Xbox? It’s an internal work culture problem.

  • CyanYokai YokaiKevin (@CyanYokai) reported

    How or Can Nintendo fix #NintendoSwitchSports bowling? With everyone getting 300 games its hard to win anymore. One 9/ or lower its over

  • nintwndovideo volt💫 (@nintwndovideo) reported

    i did this cause everytime i close and reopen nintendo video on my 3ds it gives me the “this service has been discontinued” screen and it only brings me to the video menu thing when i delete it and re download it 🐙

  • Pklkpy pkl (@Pklkpy) reported

    Xbox and switch gamers will criticize or express thier feeling about service form MS and Nintendo. PS guys are like... religion. They are all obsessed.

  • FIREK2029 Ninja | PS5 + PC 🎮🖥 🇺🇦 (@FIREK2029) reported

    @MissDeusGeek it's weird but the pandemic only seems to affecting Xbox. Nintendo and Sony plus all the major publishers don't seem to have a problem maintaining a decent release schedule. MS owns the most studios and we are in the second year of Xbox being dry.

  • lowbudgetNFT stonedBoy 🇦🇺🦘 (@lowbudgetNFT) reported

    @nftpasta Best to Read up about the game crash in 1980s when Atari made a heap of Rug games that’s were this story really begins then Nintendo come out and the rest follow we. Metaverse will be definitely on another level @nftpasta 🚀

  • AnkokuFlare Ankoku Flare 🤍 Celestial Cat Moth Dragon 🎆 (@AnkokuFlare) reported

    🔧New set up deals with the latency issues. Much less frustrating to play on the nintendo switch on stream. Much less latency this time! It was driving me off the wall. 🤍Thanks for the raid @/AyvuirRed I saw em monster huntin with @/FangMarkzz and @/MalphusCh 👍

  • zerin_7 Pedro (@zerin_7) reported

    And then Nintendo makes some ****** plastic toy controller that costs 70€ and has the worst snapback problems I've ever experienced

  • Diegoer65789579 Diegoerazo (@Diegoer65789579) reported

    @GamingWook808 @vicious696 That is true, but they have bought Many Many studios and no single release in the entire year. So there is a problem there. Nintendo and Sony both have Many less studios and dont suffer like this, just look at Nintendo this year

  • Optamizm 💙💛 Optamizm (@Optamizm) reported

    @Adventures_iG @Opuntia33 @QuackQuackDaki Sony and Nintendo are also going through covid, but the problem with first party Xbox games has been a problem for years.

  • VodkaSlyme Ty 🍁🔞 (@VodkaSlyme) reported

    At least Nintendo customer service is really good. Trying my hardest to find ally compromised accounts and switch passwords and ****, this is SO AGGRIVATING, **** THIS GUY

  • DivInflux *** (@DivInflux) reported

    Constantly worried about putting game cards into the nintendo switch cartridge holder because if they come out scratched that means my games will be broken if I continue and I just lost everything I worked up to like I did back in 2019.

  • thehyliangamer9 The Hylian Gamer (@thehyliangamer9) reported

    @CClutch64 My last friday stream, it was riddled with technical issues (PS4 acting out against my OBS, which I finally sorted out today) plus trying to stream a game that I found out about on a Nintendo Indie world and find out it was heavily copyrighted and had to take down the VOD

  • Kamsthetics Kam 🍇 (@Kamsthetics) reported

    why doesn't the nintendo switch have any streaming service apps like it's the perfect console to have all of them on it doesn't make sense

  • 8BitKingGaming The 8 Bit King (#8BitShinySquad) (@8BitKingGaming) reported

    @xCRHW Exploiting= Glitch in game that you use to "Expolit" things. Purple beam, Date time skip. NOT Pokemon from computer to switch. Permission to sell Nintendo stuff. Anyone who does twitch subs and plays Pokemon is doing. You're content of Pokemon is what people are paying for

  • BrandonWilsonC Brandon Wilson Creative (@BrandonWilsonC) reported

    @_Master__Shake_ The problem is when Nintendo and Sony delay their first party games, they tend to deliver on expectations and some are even declared masterpieces in the medium. When Xbox delays, we still get unfinished games. So it’s just frustrating as an Xbox fan and we want to express it.

  • Optamizm 💙💛 Optamizm (@Optamizm) reported

    @jez7780 @DoWhatYouDo6 0. The problem isn't the delays, it's the lack of other games for up to 16 months. 1. Yes. Give me a try. 2. But Sony and Nintendo still release games during the pandemic. 3. No. 4. But he is paid to mange Xbox well. If he isn't, then what is he getting paid for?

  • mizzio985 the_maurix (@mizzio985) reported

    @LifeIsStrange Guys please..I'm telling you again: fix the no connection to the network bug on Nintendo Switch, please!! Please

  • Deegan85 Deegan (@Deegan85) reported

    @HaygoodWill That is Xbox's image problem in a nutshell. Nobody is questioning whether Nintendo and Sony will showcase new games coming this year, everybody knows they will. After years of excuses from Xbox, confidence in them delivering games just isn't there, even from their biggest fans.
