Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • dovetspeaks Devon Pardue (@dovetspeaks) reported

    @blkcosmogenesis Probably. Nintendo does repairs for free, and there’s supposedly a DIY fix that involves taking the joycon apart, but just getting new ones is probably easiest

  • tipo_leo BsofPck (@tipo_leo) reported

    @CrazyZoruaGamer @TheSadWhy1 @playcentermd Obviously it can't be removed, but it could get in trouble whit Nintendo Just like snake or banjo

  • RositheC RositheCat (@RositheC) reported

    I set up my new Nintendo Switch Lite this morning. Problem: My mom made me wear ******* JEANS that touch my feet and irritate me every time I take a ******* STEP! God, I hate jeans.

    crash bandicoot nintendo crash bandicoot nintendo the olympics crashing boss nintendo crash boss nintendo crash buddy

  • Advent_Nebula Advent_Nebula (@Advent_Nebula) reported

    @kaijunokami With how broken the supply chain is, this was likely a corporate decision made by Nintendo of America.

  • BanjoKa13472144 Banjo Kazooie (@BanjoKa13472144) reported

    @CABEZILLA142DXD @ShotoMagnolia21 i still believe that even kids, when they think on banjo, they think on the nintendo 64, yeah. even more now that banjo is on the n64 online service on switch, that sold more than the xbox.(also, i think more people and even kids play banjo more on the n64 emulator than gamepass)

  • DragonNexus Ben (@DragonNexus) reported

    @wpstart @Sigilynk @NintendoUK Oh ffs that's probably my issue too... I'll have to chase that up. Thanks for the post!

  • bum163 Bum163 (@bum163) reported

    @sweetenernj I'm in* 4. I legit hate the Nintendo switch. That **** sucks and comes with a slew of problems as well. 5. I truly dislike Nintendo practices and how they handle everything and refuse to get involved in any competitive events for the most part. So there you go.

    @DatOneWeeb2 @Fawfulthgreat64 @NintendoAmerica If one “lets” a franchise/entity in trouble “go”, it does 2 things- 1) Make the ones responsible for the bad shape think it’s ok to do it, 2) Make the unrulier people defending the bad practice think they were right, and 3) encourage people standing up to run away from problems.

  • BanjoKa13472144 Banjo Kazooie (@BanjoKa13472144) reported

    @CABEZILLA142DXD @howliehowls @ShotoMagnolia21 they put B-K on switch online, on the N64 service, and the switch sold more than xbox, so yeah, i think banjo will still be a character knowed by the nintendo 64.

  • TFSGhostNappa Nappa (@TFSGhostNappa) reported

    @NintendoAmerica This will be helpful. Did you fix the Joy-Con drift on the OLED models?

  • JasleneTavares Jaslene Tavares (@JasleneTavares) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I had gotten a discount code for my birthday and i reached out to your customer service because the code you gave me didnt work on the article of clothing i wanted, I ordered the hoodie like 30 minutes ago, and y'all wont cancel the order to refund my money

  • Anthony35147 Anthony (@Anthony35147) reported

    @mariokarttourEN Should Nintendo fix the super leaf?

  • TheWeaseKing Garlax, The Weasel King (@TheWeaseKing) reported

    @fadeaccompli Glad I’m not the only one who ran into this problem. I really did think it was some Nintendo announcement that initially got drowned out in the laughter at Pratt.

  • RetroKaijuAlt RetroDragoon (@RetroKaijuAlt) reported

    @DrewBear0496 @Reignited_Spyro @theroomacattack Well if I had to guess, since the IPS themselves are popular, I would think someone to the like Microsoft, maybe Sega considering that they've had publishing rights to Crash Bandicoot before in Japan, Nintendo would probably be willing to grab a couple of them.

  • cooLEOtrigg zeo ranger 1. pink. (@cooLEOtrigg) reported

    @27Teddies Yeah I was pissed for days. I called Nintendo customer service and everything

  • Conrad95168402 Conrizzle (@Conrad95168402) reported

    @liladrian___ @NickBrawlGame Nintendo switch is worst version play on there a lot issue bug me a lot on

  • hEnereyG Henry Gilbert (@hEnereyG) reported

    @GenePark They would invest tons in promoting Crash and Spyro then go “meh, new generation,” repeat that with Ratchet or Jak, then dump it again. Sony lots of times seemed not into nostalgia profits. Astro’s Playroom was the first ever that felt like Nintendo-level of celebrating legacy

  • seanwalty25 sëâń (@seanwalty25) reported

    @TAHK0 I don’t know. I think I remember some people had trouble with Nintendo when they were playing age if calamity early

  • ToriNazu Ness(She/her and They/Them) (@ToriNazu) reported

    @HylianEmo24 @NintendoUK I don't know what the issue with your switch is, so keep that in mind. The process, at least maybe from my own experience took maybe like 5 mins, its been a long time.

  • maxthunder03 Roland (@maxthunder03) reported

    @NintendoAmerica So my issue with cloud games is and will be that once you release a new system the cloud version goes away and you can never play it again. So whats the point?

  • RingerSSBU Ringer🎃🏳️‍⚧️ (@RingerSSBU) reported

    i'm literally connected to LAN and i get disconnected and banned after one disconnect IN A WEEK @NintendoAmerica PLEASE GET ROLLBACK FOR SMASH JESUS

  • FierceVinegar Fierce Vinegar (@FierceVinegar) reported

    @octoexp490 @NintendoUK except no other online game has that problem yet has cloud saves for it

  • Minddestroyed2 ✭ Minddestroyed 2 ✭ (@Minddestroyed2) reported

    Nintendo fans saw the failure of the Wii U and demanded better. The problem is that they didn't demand better enough.

  • letshugbro Dr. Doom Daddy (@letshugbro) reported

    @NightmareModeGo @JimTheSG Is the Official store still just wrapper around The Hut or one of those other shite sites? Had so many issues them. Getting called a liar by Nintendo Official Store because of a missing Shulk amiibo… gotta love it!

  • Player_LXIV Hectoreo (@Player_LXIV) reported

    @VolksDK @swshriv @NintendoAmerica wtf man, I was getting to the end what are you gonna tell me samus gets injected with metroid dna to save her from a deadly parasite that caused her to have a near fatal crash?

  • HectorM91561502 Ninji Bro (@HectorM91561502) reported

    @InsrtHandlHere #nintendo fix this

  • gxueka gxueka (@gxueka) reported

    @maruti_bitamin **** what a pity! My swich died alone whithout battery and never get up. I have to go to fix it soon. Nintendo Swich is fun but the material and fabrication are the worst!!!!

  • Dragozan_ Dragozan (@Dragozan_) reported

    @NintendoUK Hope there's not any issues with the shipping on the UK site. Money still hasn't left my account yet, and no confirmation of dispatch...

  • DarlingVexa 🦇 🎃 🍂 Alice 🍂 🎃 🦇 (@DarlingVexa) reported

    @radiatastory69 @Azuride @GameXplain That's a problem with the OLED screen. From what I've heard, Nintendo completely fixed joy-con drift in the new model. Also, the wide kickstand and larger memory are a bonus! A little screen problem isn't too bad. It's better than buying a $5000 PC.
