Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DjdgamerLol Kobaru The Kame (@DjdgamerLol) reported

    @doom_mori whaaAAAAAAT??? *runs towards the switch to do the glitch before nintendo patches it*

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 17 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • YT_G_Utopia G Utopia (@YT_G_Utopia) reported

    @KEEMSTAR The problem gets more worse because most new console gens like @nintendo and @PlayStation don't really care about adding something like backwards compatibility or virtual console which as an example the Wii had.

  • CodeMars9 CodeMars (@CodeMars9) reported

    @NintendoAmerica You know what doesn’t suit my life? Having to send out my joycons to be repaired 2x and wait over a month for them to come back, only for the drift issue To come back almost immediately 🙄

  • ddunganda ᗷᗩᘜᘿ ✮ (@ddunganda) reported

    @AlexTheEx_ they need help it looks like cuz optimizing all the games was likely the issue 3ds psp ps2 games all in 1 collection for the switch was likely a hassle NIntendo probbaly couldve tho theyre better at optimizing their own games

  • yesalbsolutely albs b'nargin dalmasca! ffxii:tza playing hours! (@yesalbsolutely) reported

    @joshquixote Honestly, IntSys has sucked at bringing their older FE games onto the latest handhelds/consoles. SS was 3DS Ambassador exclusive and SD was on the Wii U (and only for Europeans no less). The 3DS games might also have problems since Nintendo stopped 3DS production a while ago.

  • teawithphil Flip Satan (@teawithphil) reported

    I was looking forward to a wee Paper Mario origami set coming. It didn't come. Instead, a cheap metal plate for a game i have no interest in came. When I asked customer service about it, they floated about terms and conditions. Thanks @NintendoUK. I expected more.

  • TheRealWipper TheRealWipper (@TheRealWipper) reported

    When you get banned from playing online smash when the game forcefully disconnects you. @NintendoAmerica fix your disgustingly terrible online. #SmashBrosUltimate

  • bemusedHorseman Sasha the SHSL Indecision Monkey (@bemusedHorseman) reported

    @doom_mori Nintendo patching it and deleting the save files of anyone that's used the glitch in 3, 2, 1... (do they actually wipe "glitched" saves? I know they do that when they find a mario maker level that exploits a "glitch"...)

  • thesquarescreen BDR (@thesquarescreen) reported

    @The_Omikron @SpawnWaveMedia The dock would have an dedicated LAN port and updated wifi 5/6. There were talks about a kinda Nintendo Gamepass coming when the rumors were debunked about the Xbox Gamepass app coming to switch. A big change could be coming also for the internet since it is a problem.

  • Veryfluffy1 Veryfluffy (@Veryfluffy1) reported

    @CookieSkoon nintendo works in misterious ways. I mean we see what was cut but many times we might not see how it worked. Maybe that was the issue.

  • qt_chace ch ce (@qt_chace) reported

    I don’t get people that complain about every dlc character for smash. Like c’mon just take the character, just since Crash or Waluigi didn’t make it in doesn’t mean the character is trash. (also saying Japanese favoritism for characters is cause Nintendo is a Japanese company)

  • Jacobdcz7 「Jacobdcz7」 (@Jacobdcz7) reported

    @caiokendx @Pixel_TheLegend @NintendoAmerica the problem is that it only comes in perfect English The rest of the people do not matter, at least it must be in English, French and Spanish.

  • laurabxth ❁ ❁ ❁ (@laurabxth) reported

    @ChocolateKieran I can’t believe nintendo aren’t already fighting to work with you smh fix this @NintendoUK @NintendoEurope

  • phantasyboi Phantasy (@phantasyboi) reported

    @VexAcer @KoopaTroopa4494 @UltimaShadowX Only problem is nintendo doesn't really like anything fan-made, sadly

  • AlyxxTheRat Alyxx D. Rat (@AlyxxTheRat) reported

    @MeidoMatsuri Sign in with Nintendo. On PC. Like... What.

  • TidyWire TidyWire🍿 (@TidyWire) reported

    @Nivlacart @NintendoAmerica You also have to compare it to other remasters/remakes weve seen. Crash and Spyro remade their games from the ground up to look like modern game and they retail for half the price of a modern release. What is SS's excuse when it just looks like the same running on dolphin?

  • DawidPatryk666 Dawid aka Bonus Bob (@DawidPatryk666) reported

    @GNgweh @PJ_SwitchStop @Sora_Sakurai I mean, Minecraft is owned by Microsoft. Also, there's a lot more Crash games released on Nintendo consoles (there's even 3 Crash games exclusives for GBA and 1 Crash game exclusive for NDS). However, game being released or not released on Nintendo console doesn't mean that +

  • DryCereal4 Dry_Cereal (@DryCereal4) reported

    @ObserverOmni @whitejohnlennon @Phant0mAbat I would expect an official nintendo event to be sterile and professional the same way official Disney events/locations are. But FGC events are made by and for adults. And in any case, the horny stuff has NOTHING to do with the smash community’s problems. It’s a scapegoat.

  • dreiiacht1 anner (@dreiiacht1) reported

    @doom_mori i hope nintendo doesn't fix that one qwq

  • vanillagalore Z (@vanillagalore) reported

    @ConcernedApe what about 'Local Communication' issue on Nintendo Switch??!?!? It's not working at all.

  • GNgweh Gab the Octoling (@GNgweh) reported

    @DawidPatryk666 @PJ_SwitchStop @Sora_Sakurai Wait, did they have minecraft's IP? Does N'sane trilogy and crash 4 games coming to switch count as "having their IPs on a nintendo console"?

  • OmegaSSBU NA | Ωmega (#UnBanNairo) (@OmegaSSBU) reported

    How should Nintendo fix Ultimate’s buffer system?

  • heimskr64 Kai 🖖🏻👁👄👁🤘🏻 (@heimskr64) reported

    unfortunate thing about the nintendo switch's console mode: if you change the console size to make it more readable, trying to open the on-screen keyboard will cause an application crash #homebrew

  • LeDouxUSA Samuel LeDoux (@LeDouxUSA) reported from Edgemere, Maryland

    Nintendo needs to just make more product, obviously there is major supply issues.

  • fionnamacp fionna (@fionnamacp) reported

    nintendo please fix the lack of jiggle physics on pyra and mythra thank you

  • Dr4g0n727fanacc Based🐉Dr4g0n (@Dr4g0n727fanacc) reported

    @OmegaSSBU @NintendoAmerica It is tho cuz DB and upsmash being broken were always one of those "it's not terribly impactful but I can still feel an impact on my gameplay" things

  • onpu48152475 onpu (@onpu48152475) reported

    i'm an actual child at a shabbos morning service on zoom and was rly enjoying it but i can't help thinking abt how much i wanna play nintendo DS now we're on the reading of the parsha ( i don't understand much biblical hebrew at all) before we read the english translation

  • KingKoonery King Dingaling (@KingKoonery) reported

    @PhilNolan3D @halfacentaur @NintendoAmerica Yeah and no back problems either.
