Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DazzlinDynamic Yves Pons Stan (@DazzlinDynamic) reported

    @yallmindifiAHHH starting an uprise at Nintendo to fix this

  • AnhurdynPlus Anhurdyn (@AnhurdynPlus) reported

    @dylandawes @Crazy_Gamer_0 @NintendoAmerica They can put up protections but computers are not infallible. You can increase server load but anything could cause a crash

  • GhastlyAndGay All-Terain Cremated Remains 🌹 (@GhastlyAndGay) reported

    My Nintendo Switch keeps popping up with error code 2016-0247 and I can’t figure out how to fix it. I’m trying to move data from my current SD card to a new bigger one, I’ve formatted the new card 3 times, I’ve rebooted at least 25. It’s still not working.

  • Vis1onOasis 🏝 VisionOasis 🏝 (@Vis1onOasis) reported

    @dylandawes @NintendoAmerica So the kids have to wait like A DAY to play their hard to find consoles? Don’t get me wrong Nintendo has always had server issues and that should be worked on, but if your kid’s entire Christmas is ruined because of server issues you need to toughen up your kids.

  • AlexD0tNet ❄️✿Alex✿❄️ COMMS OPEN // NSFW DNI | #ACAB #BLM (@AlexD0tNet) reported

    Nintendo fans realize that a sudden influx of users will damage a service's servers challenge

  • TheFatMatt Matt (@TheFatMatt) reported

    Are the nintendo servers up? I've been trying to buy three houses but everytime I try to load into the eshop it says error occured. Note it's been like 4 hours since I last tried

  • Joflo39 Jo (@Joflo39) reported

    @NintendoUK can anyone help advise me. Im getting a 2124-8028 error code and can't sign in and link. My Internet is on 5ghz and it's running 60mbps. Any advice would be appreciated

  • JazzyJoeXD Jazzy (@JazzyJoeXD) reported

    @ironpinky Do you ever get in trouble for selling fanart of Nintendo/other video game characters? Love your work

  • shaun_27 Shaun Takenouchi (@shaun_27) reported

    @ErikDanielsonPE @NintendoAmerica Unfortunately, I don’t think this is possible. We had this problem when we tried to do that with animal crossing. Ended up having to do two different accounts

  • AnonymousVoid4 goofy goober (@AnonymousVoid4) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please tell me if anyone else had this issue: I go to buy the game, the charge goes through, but then I don't get the game and it still says I need to buy the game.

  • RickFHarris Rick Harris (@RickFHarris) reported

    @dylandawes @NintendoAmerica Actually it's just purchasing via the console that's broken...if you perform the purchase logged in via their webstore in a normal browser it works and the console auto-downloads the content fine after purchase.

  • gremlincrossing pee pee pants mcjanitor (@gremlincrossing) reported

    @ihavebrewster yeye this was before new horizons was announced much less the sanrio restock so everything thought that they weren't coming back 😔 nintendo rlly needs to start keeping on top of porting older games bc upselling is such a massive problem

  • jooshywashy joosh: king of demons (@jooshywashy) reported

    My left stick on my pro controller for Nintendo switch has a slight drift to the left on the left stick. I’m so ducking pissed cuz it ***** me up in mariokart and I can’t even recalibrate it because for some reason it won’t register that I want to fix it🙄

  • artificialcat4 ärtificial (@artificialcat4) reported

    Nintendo: If it aint broke, we won't fix it.

  • EthanaterGamer Bobby Fulbright: SORA IS IN SMASH!!!!! (@EthanaterGamer) reported

    I don’t think the problem here is the marketing. It’s just Square shooting the selves in the foot for setting up such high expectations. It’s like if Nintendo brought back F-Zero but called the new game a “failure” because it didn’t sell as much as Mario. That’s ridiculous.

  • DefiningShan Shan (@DefiningShan) reported

    @Ubisoft @NintendoAmerica @justdancegame which one you wants to help a 6yr old boy dance because right now it’s not happening? I’ve tried every which way to connect this Ubisoft/Nintendo acct to access a Ghostbusters “unlimited” dance & it’s not working. Somebody help a mom out!

  • Jonny_Davies_ Jonny Davies™ (@Jonny_Davies_) reported

    @bushontheradio Crash Bandicoot remake on the Nintendo Switch!

  • OnoMikki Kynn⭐️Master (@OnoMikki) reported

    @lukellios Pretty sure if Nintendo could every other game would've been open world (they were pretty big for their time anyway) and the shrines were pretty good, my only problem were the divine beasts, they were kind of lackluster imo and the 2nd looks promising

  • Mettuar30 ☆𝓛𝓝™𝓚𝓔𝓝𝓝𝓨 (@Mettuar30) reported

    @MPLNetwork Great games but Nintendo needs to patch them Paper Mario has a crash that deletes your save data but not save states

  • clevergirllydia CleverGirlCraftings (she/her) (@clevergirllydia) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Just a heads up the @animalcrossing Island Transfer Tool doesn’t work. “Error” pops up every time and there’s no work around. It’s been all over Reddit for months and has yet to be fixed. Any updates?

  • UltimateZukey Justin (@UltimateZukey) reported

    @PrinceOfPufftop I like how this implies Nintendo told Crash and Rayman to **** off, but absolutely was begging to have Corrin in

  • yung_crono Crono, Lord of the ********🏳️‍⚧️ (@yung_crono) reported

    @TheMaractusMan @NintendoAmerica Fair enough tbh. I didn’t really have any of the same issues that you did (and my own issues were more so how derivative the story was of vanilla P5 and how grindy it was to level up low-level demons and Bond EXP), but respect your viewpoint nonetheless.

  • OrIandoBrownJr_ * (@OrIandoBrownJr_) reported

    I wanna buy a Nintendo switch, the problem it’s expensive and I just want it for like 2 specific games

  • TheMaractusMan Blubmas (@TheMaractusMan) reported

    @yung_crono @NintendoAmerica These were issues I had with the game as well. All around, basically no elements were anything I liked. With the exception of music, and zenkichi As even the thieves themselves just feel… whatever. They don’t have character arcs anymore so it’s not as fun to be with them

  • mizarkas cooper (@mizarkas) reported

  • AshGotSpice ❄️Ninten Ho Ho Ho❄️ (@AshGotSpice) reported
