Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Ali_Mattson -A (@Ali_Mattson) reported

    @NintendoAmerica why isn’t the Mario at home circuit not working?

  • Carole29 @Scare-ole29👻🎃 (@Carole29) reported

    @NintendoUK I'm more interested in knowing why we can't get into Pocket Camp (for hours), and why there's been no acknowledgement from Nintendo that there's even a problem? What's going on and when is it going to be resolved?

  • ZoticusofComana Zoticus (@ZoticusofComana) reported

    @mrfeelswildride Nintendo fans are famously obsessed with defending every bad decision they make, which enables Nintendo to keep making them. Their online service is terrible and that stupid emulator bundle is overpriced, but I was STILL seeing people defend it.

  • 4EvrLuvsGaming 💫✨Mystic✨💫 (@4EvrLuvsGaming) reported

    @james_ferrari @GretaTheLittles 20 years IS definitely enough time! And absolutely no excuse for advancing with online services, when everyone else has been able to! Every console has issues. If people would be honest with themselves. THIS is Nintendo's issue.

  • jknifgjidfui jknifgijdfui (@jknifgjidfui) reported

    @nintendofac The exact issue with nintendo fans summarised in one sentence

  • glory2sneed sneed ltd (@glory2sneed) reported

    Worst part is that I thought it was a me problem because O hadn't linked my nintendo account or some dumb region bs so I deleted the app and with it my godroll. F

  • maysp Sherill Prentice (@maysp) reported

    My game is not working. Does anyone knows Y? NINTENDO WHAT IS GOING on to the Pocket Camp game. We all was working on the FISHING TOURNAMENT. PLEASE LET USE ALL KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IS IT A Maintenance Or is it a program Direct problem. ??????

  • ExpansionLord Ryusoulger (@ExpansionLord) reported

    @DrPPJMD_NE It's funny how the community what's support and some semblance of sympathy but they'll pull this **** no problem. Quite frankly this treatment toward Kels and Vikki is worse then anything I've seen Nintendo do, hell I hear Nintendo treated them pretty well at events.

  • PoipoleStar IceAngel (@PoipoleStar) reported

    @hazemawile Apparently android players are having issue in playing any of nintendo mobile games dragalia lost feh etc

  • FalcoLambda Dekaius 💀 (they/them) (@FalcoLambda) reported

    Google's anti-root software is (most likely) triggering a false positive in all of Nintendo's mobile games. This issue only affects Android OS, iOS users are fine. Dragalia's team is investigating the issue. No ETA for fix.

  • Toriyori1 Tori_yori (@Toriyori1) reported

    @CGuedet @Pocket_Camp Welcome in this mess. Nintendo mobile games servers are having terrible and no one can login on Android device

  • SenorPug26 Señor Pug (@SenorPug26) reported

    @skwjeb2016 @AustinJohnPlays Actually not an issue because Nintendo does the same thing. Nintendo is a rip off for what they're offering. No discounts to games and emulation for 20+ years old games. I'll save my money and not be a brand fanboy.

  • birdyousocrazy Alb (@birdyousocrazy) reported

    @stephentotilo Coincidentally, I did the same today. I've been itching to play Metroid Prime trilogy again after Dread, so I decided to check that out. The problem is that I feel like holding out for when Nintendo FINALLY decides to release the rumored port of it on Switch

  • jhinstress J (@jhinstress) reported

    I don’t understand how Nintendo ties a dlc (which should be a one time purchase) into a subscription price hike scheme for vc. The online service is still to this day a joke in comparison to the two other consoles. Good games developers, but this is just asking people to emulate.

  • KamiiSai 🎃kami🎃 (@KamiiSai) reported

    @SetiSirius A few hours now? Its apparently an issue with all mobile nintendo games atm

  • Jasper2944 jasper🎃 (@Jasper2944) reported

    nintendo honestly has to give massive compensation for this android bug thing 💀 this is one of the biggest issues they’ve had in a while

  • TheNimanator TheScarinator - BlackLivesMatter | StopAsianHate (@TheNimanator) reported

    @DragonNexus Rumor has it the licensing of 3rd party games sparked this price hike. Who knows what Nintendo did to get Banjo-Kazooie onto this service…

  • Scara_29 Sarah (@Scara_29) reported

    @hentaiyogurt1 Glad to know it's not just me having this problem, so it must be Nintendo end. Need to get compensated for this as its the last day of fishing tourney too I think

  • renanbrumart Renan 🏳️‍🌈 & 🏛️ PaintTheTown (@renanbrumart) reported

    @MaccaMcLeod88 @nintendolife Piracy cannot be fought by being an executioner. Piracy is fought by offering quality and affordable service, that's not the case of Nintendo online service so....

  • ShanaAkemi DOHC 16V (@ShanaAkemi) reported

    It's really embaressing how much Nintendo wants to charge for online service (especially with the new expansion +) with all the issues that come with these outdated and under-equipped servers... The PS3 offered a better online service AND STILL DOES than Switch online...

  • KamiyaSol SolTakeruKamiya (@KamiyaSol) reported

    Are the Nintendo mobile servers down, or is it just my internet? I can't seem to be able to play FEH, Pokémon Masters EX and Dragalia Lost tonight.

  • Laprisu Christian @ MEX Berlin (October 2021) (@Laprisu) reported

    @NintendoDE @Nintendo @NintendoAmerica FIX YOUR SERVERS FOR ANDROID DEVICES ALREADY. Fire Emblem Heroes and other things have been down for MULTIPLE HOURS already. 7 HOURS to be exact. WE. WANT. TO. PLAY.

  • rgnintendo17 Ruben(skrubby) (@rgnintendo17) reported

    @ApostleWordOTD OOOh at the title! Ok thanks!! no wonder i missed this havnt been on the title screen yet today still have it up from yesterday; Feels like theres a huge issue on android side. I'm assuming trying to connect to the nintendo account but theres a bug in it atm?

  • goingonajournie journie (@goingonajournie) reported

    @dr_dvonp @Fizzi36 I think where there’s a disconnect is that a lot of us don’t actually want Nintendo to care like we don’t actually want their money we just want them to leave us alone and let us run our own events without their input at all

  • evelyn87161472 Fear (@evelyn87161472) reported

    @AustinP314 @Nintendeal Nintendo Fanboys are out of ******* control. you're comparing a triple A game to a ****** *** service that doesn't need to cost $50 to upgrade and instead should cost 30 honestly this is so ******* disrespectful to the creators of botw2.

  • glitterwaifulol Camilla (@glitterwaifulol) reported

    @crossingmomo I think Nintendo should focus on making their online service better

  • oneofmanyryans Ryan Crain (@oneofmanyryans) reported

    @nintendolife For those who don’t get it, we’re disappointed because of the lack of focus to make their service better and the unreasonable $30 price increase for games that will not run very well, using the one thing Nintendo hates so much: Emulation Hypocrisy, I think so

  • pasta_wheat Quarantined Box of Wheat Pasta (@pasta_wheat) reported

    @NintendoFanGirl I know companies are in business to make money, but there is a difference in making money and constantly squeezing a customer for as much as they can as often as they can. Keep online free, bring back the Virtual Console, and create a Game Pass like service for Nintendo [4]

  • DianeHeartbeat Diane Heartbeat (@DianeHeartbeat) reported

    @NintendoAmerica ADD BASIC ONLINE FEATURES SUCH AS NATIVE ON THE SWITCH VOICE CHAT, MESSAGING, WEB BROWSING, BETTER RUNNING ONLINE EXPERIENCES. YOUR BASIC ONLINE SERVICE ISN'T EVEN GOOD, IT ISN'T EVEN OK. YET YOU ARE TRYING TO CHARGE $50 FOR A "PRIMIUM" EXPANSION?!? FIX YOUR ONLINE SERVICE!
