Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • zenasprime zenasprime (@zenasprime) reported

    @BowdnBoi @Grummz Cert for Xbox is similar, but since a lot of the issue were found in Nintendo review, they weren't an issue for the Xbox review. I would think that a game breaking crash would be caught. I have no experience with Sony.

  • Alexutzu79 Cosmin Alexandru (@Alexutzu79) reported

    @cinemassacre You should thank to the dumb engineers that built the joycon. This is one of the reasons I gave up on Nintendo among other problems and management decisions.

  • HooktailJ 🎅☃️🎄Super Hooktail Jr🎄☃️🎅 (@HooktailJ) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @USJ_Official The only problem with this is that it's in Japan and I'm pretty sure I would never visit there unless there's one in Hollywood.

  • MidnightKolrath Myles (Middy) | FFXIV: Leveling Hell (@MidnightKolrath) reported

    Oh god when Super Nintendo World comes to the US, those poor interactive blocks will probably be broken in no time with how some ppl hit too damn hard

  • Xandr___ Xander (@Xandr___) reported

    So the direct that’s happening in 30 minutes says no game content will be featured. WERE GETTING CRASH FOR SMAHS GUYS #Nintendo

  • IamPapaJoseph ☃️Joe🎄 (@IamPapaJoseph) reported

    @m0ch4m0ch4 @dreamscapeawai1 @kiravera8 Oh no dude I got some major issues with Nintendo. But if you actually gonna justify tracing just because "it's okay they got money" then you got problems

  • LDF120 LDF120 (@LDF120) reported

    @JohnFiliss @corey_gman The part your missing is habitual use of electronic devices by children actual alters/reforms brain development. The addition of repetitive feedback social media, & mobile games has made these problem even worse. It's not the same as playing Atari/Nintendo for 90 minutes a day.

  • VanillaDeluxe_ VD (@VanillaDeluxe_) reported

    bro nintendo took six years to make a ******* go-kart ride when they could've spent that time making a working online service

  • vinylmelter Stephen Melter (@vinylmelter) reported

    @NinSwitchNews unable to sign in to your account for Nintendo online services. Please try again later. Is there a problem going on?

  • afrohawk52 🎄Afrohawk 🎄 (@afrohawk52) reported

    @UltimaShadowX Agreed, I can wait on it. It looks really nice but definitely not worth the trouble Hopefully in a year or two we can go to Nintendo World with these troublesome times behind us.

  • high_rebecc_ra Rebecca Bratt (@high_rebecc_ra) reported

    Life really does come full circle. My abusive first boyfriend once gave me a broken Nintendo 64. My current boyfriend just fixed it.

  • AMaster42 AuraMaster42 (@AMaster42) reported

    also to all the #FreeMelee or #FreeSplatoon spammers in the chat/social media, while yes i do agree that what nintendo did to the big house and splatoon community was very scummy, please don't spam it everywhere. it's kinda annoying and won't do much to resolve the issue.

  • eric_noches EricElTioQueTeVePorLasNochesXD (@eric_noches) reported

    @FortniteStatus My nintendo switch is acting so strange the whole system crashes and the screen turns white while im playing can anyone confirm me that I am not the only one to have this problem

  • Uknownwill4 Uknownwill 4th (@Uknownwill4) reported

    @Junpei19I @NintendoAmerica Breaking news: painting found broken in nintendo world as suspect trys to jump inside them

  • BakuraSSBU Bakura Rod (@BakuraSSBU) reported

    @SkarmVG OOOOOOF. I been having some issues with that button update nintendo did. My turn around Up B goes to side B for some reason. F for the fallen Tink.

  • DavidDa00361728 Macadav (@DavidDa00361728) reported

    @Joe_White727 @NintendoAmerica Look I’m not a blind Nintendo fanboy, I know they have problems, especially what’s going on right now.

  • kittiemage ❆Mage❆ (@kittiemage) reported

    I wish there were more options for backwards compatibility and stuff within Nintendo and the online service sucks but overall I really love it as a console

  • otakuproray SunBeam ink (@otakuproray) reported

    @7HeartGuardiaYT @HMKilla I mean Having sora in Smash would cause some problems between Disney and Nintendo. That would mean they would have to have some Disney characters in the game. Unless they act like they don’t exist. Who knows really tho but after sephiroth got in I have a feeling that sora’s done

  • OnikiraDokuro Dylan Kennedy (@OnikiraDokuro) reported

    @Xxiety11 @DanGanGalaxy @NintendoAmerica Problem with heavy though, where you have to be excellent at telegraphing the opponent only needs to be decent because they will see you coming miles away.

  • pik3rob01 pik3rob (@pik3rob01) reported

    @davidvkimball @NintendoAmerica @USJ_Official this is going to be a non issue in a few months. i don't give a ****.

  • BeyondGrave BeyondTheGrave (@BeyondGrave) reported

    @Josh__Orion @JezCorden It won't. Everything about this situation (releasing broken games, platforms turning a blind eye, E3 bullshots, manipulating embargos, crunch) has been standard practice for AAA games in this industry for years. It's better on Nintendo platforms, so I guess there's that.

  • kibsquib48 KibSquib (@kibsquib48) reported

    @Funny_Discord but thats exactly the problem, nintendo’s getting mad at people playing an outdated game

  • pik3rob01 pik3rob (@pik3rob01) reported

    @AlanBrizan @eddie_ayyy @NintendoAmerica they think that cancelling an online tournament for Melee is going to kill the scene when in about 4 months time it will be a complete non issue

  • solrocknroll jacob 🖤 (@solrocknroll) reported

    there’s zero reason why Mother 3 still hasn’t been localized @NintendoAmerica FIX IT!!!

  • nerdyghostclub medicinal prostitute 🩺💋 (@nerdyghostclub) reported

    I've been on hold with Nintendo customer service for 10 minutes and idk how long I should wait until I assume they just disappeared?

  • coolblue93 𝘾𝙤𝙤𝙡𝘽𝙡𝙪𝙚💫 (@coolblue93) reported

    i can see several broken wrists in super nintendo world's future

  • CuddlesNerd NerdCuddles ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻 (@CuddlesNerd) reported

    Imagine if consoles where not just more limited versions of PCs that had paid online, Or where not owned by anti-consumer companies like Sony or Nintendo (I am aware the Nintendo Switch exists but its ruined by technical issues, a terrible company, and paid online)

  • stormmaster17 Weather ⛈ More (@stormmaster17) reported

    @ACWorldBlog Can someone at @NintendoAmerica PLEASE fix the holiday DIY rates!🤞🏼

  • ZoriVolt Zori (@ZoriVolt) reported

    @Jabroni057 no because that game isn't even slightly related to the issue, which is currently focused on the smash community disliking it is still a dislike towards nintendo, but since it's not part of the main controversy right now dislike bombing it would be utterly pointless and confusing

  • YarahBurns 🎄Yarah’s favorite time of the year🐉 (@YarahBurns) reported

    @dekaccho2004 There’s also the issue of union discussions being more company based rather than individually based so it works more like a business deal than just casting an individual actor, and it seems Nintendo doesn’t wanna deal with a group rather than an individual
