Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SPMForSmash Dimentio For Smash: The Thousand-Year Account (@SPMForSmash) reported

    @mickey_smash Oh yeah, forgot about those........... Well I mean if we're factoring in fan requests (which we probably aren't cus Nintendo don't listen), Crash is definitely a lot more requested than Sora is Other than that, idk, Crash just feels more likely

  • RiphadeOnTwitch Riphade (@RiphadeOnTwitch) reported

    @AMHarbinger @YongYea Yeah and BOTH of those services were **** then. You seem to forget that so easily. Nintendo charges for it now and it's STILL bad. $20 a year to lag in literally everything. Sony got your information stolen. Research? You must've been born in 2016. Sit down.

  • damgentemp Damien - ********* game historian (@damgentemp) reported

    @itsJenSim Nintendo reaaaally doesn't like money by not working on re-releasing the Another Code and Hotel Dusk series on Switch.

  • Triangulum598 Triangulum/Elicia ❤ (@Triangulum598) reported

    @KaiCyreus @SilviaArdon again, both you made actual points the person I qrted didn't that's my main issue like both of you I agree with don't get me wrong I'm just saying if you're gonna say something like "you're ruining nintendo" back yourself up

  • flinkogo Flinkogo (@flinkogo) reported

    @DynamoSuperX Oh okay. Your wording made it sound like Nintendo's strictness would be the problem

  • e3man01 Aries_Man (@e3man01) reported

    @XcloudTimdog This reeks of 80's Nintendo. To keep the competition low, Nintendo mandated 3rd parties to not make games for other systems. I really like PlayStation but take serious issue with Sony. Like having a friend you love but hate their spouse or parents.

  • Crash_Tise Crash Tise (@Crash_Tise) reported

    @ibxtoycat I've stayed silent on this issue for far too long but I think it's finally time I share my truth. I think that Bedrock edition is god awful and that they should bring back the old console edition on PS4, xbox one and nintendo switch cause it was actually polished and stable

  • jadethedoob Jade ⚧ 𖤐 (@jadethedoob) reported

    “Jordan hid it since the 2000s” they said without ever saying how they know that and I’m not able to find anything to suggest he did know. Sick of this “my uncle works at Nintendo” kinda ****, same happened with Issues.

  • JoshuaWillams14 Joshua Willams (@JoshuaWillams14) reported

    @Respawn could you please fix apex legends on nintendo switch game chat?

  • Gargomon251 Gargomon251 (@Gargomon251) reported

    @FourthAndFallin @StanAl2020 @HMKilla Well that's your problem not Nintendo's

  • cashaustin_ CashAustin 🍎🍏 (@cashaustin_) reported

    for some reason i can’t find or login to my nintendo switch twitter and i’m very upset because all my old photos are on it :((

  • JordanE25458503 Jordan Ellis (@JordanE25458503) reported

    @pineapp68394201 @mattswider Dude, I am right ******* there with you. This is such bullshit. Been playing games since Nintendo and I have never had any issue buying the newest consoles. This is utter bullshit and I am so ******* sick of them being out of stock. They need to make mo

  • r2kmoon2 Openly Black King Of Strong Tiger Style (@r2kmoon2) reported

    @justdrop @c_gaudet15 @SSF1991 So then go yell at Nintendo for the SatellaView service they had in Japan only. Or go ahead and yell at Sony for releasing variant consoles. Matter of fact, go cry to comic companies that make variant covers.

  • Sir_Vamped 🔻𝗦𝗶𝗿 𝗩𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗱🔻 (@Sir_Vamped) reported

    @GamingBoltTweet Nintendo is smart. Allowing xbox to grow its service using nintendos own hardware would be foolish. Especially if gamepass is allowed to grow unchecked. A games as a service future would harm nintendos business model.

  • GsFlint flint (@GsFlint) reported

    - Nintendo is not liable for you modify your dell computer - You can beat oot in 4-3 minutes theortically - Finding a glitch on emulator and then recreating it on console is a cheat code - you may see where they going with this - your copy of oot on your computer may be illegal

  • SPMForSmash Dimentio For Smash: The Thousand-Year Account (@SPMForSmash) reported

    @mickey_smash Crash seems more likely because Nintendo have a better history with activision than disney

  • King25Jar CrashMcFly (@King25Jar) reported

    You know if Nintendo was smart they would bring in Crash and they would do the reveal staging it like the original Crash Suit Guy commercials with him going to Nintendo HQ and shouting, "Hey Plumber boy, Mustache man your worst nightmare has arrived" then reveal gameplay

  • ArmoredChocobo Armored Chocobo (@ArmoredChocobo) reported

    @PushDustIn XBox Game Pass (Must have Nintendo Switch Online service)

  • exlo_alkoot XLO • The Hub ultimate fan (@exlo_alkoot) reported

    @woomy_365 @ShinkenBlack26 @NintendoAmerica each account connected on a different device ! and i gave them to my nephews and bought this third one to enjoy but the new account system seems broken so i returned it and got back my 330$ and got back to my PS5 👍🏼 thanx anyway

  • ObeseRob ObeseROB (@ObeseRob) reported

    @mickey_smash Probably sora since we know for a fact nintendo tried to get sora at least. Although there was that crash plan that was supposedly edited to say crash in smash 2021

  • GINTEGG Connor Boyd (@GINTEGG) reported

    The switch is so good at filling each month with new titles I couldn't care less about. Maybe I'm the problem.. #nintendo

  • andurilmat andurilmat (@andurilmat) reported

    @AMHarbinger @AngryJoeShow Before xbox live Sony and Nintendo did not have an online gaming service

  • glungers Zack Halverson (@glungers) reported

    @McTroid @JonComms Ninty does not like to devalue their ips. In their minds they are probably thinking they are giving us TOO MUCH with nes and snes with the online service. It’s stupid but it’s Nintendo lol

  • BudderAsassin Trigun Stan Account (@BudderAsassin) reported

    @CB4Smash I never wanted him in for a while because I was kind of a purist when it came to Smash Bros and Nintendo, but now that Crash is no longer Playstation exclusive, I think he damn well should be in (even though I have no emotional attachment to him)

  • Chris_BigK Chris~BigK (@Chris_BigK) reported

    @CartridgeGames @BombosMedallion @LegoSkeletor I feel like that is more likely than xCloud. How would Nintendo make money from xCloud? Some increase in hardware sales maybe, but that isn’t an issue currently. Selling individual could-based games that already have the infrastructure in place seems like a good deal.

  • TiuttiChilly Tiutti(The chilly Wolfie)(COMMISSIONS OPEN) 🇧🇷 (@TiuttiChilly) reported

    @DynamoSuperX the only problem i do got with this safety of Nintendo on the hands of the movie is if they really exaggerate and restrict the writers of basically do more things they wanted to do in freedom, but also considering how much Illumination is not a bit serious in a good story....

  • Wolffang7191 Ocelot9 (@Wolffang7191) reported

    @soulkibble I never understand drift, sometimes i hust need to recalibrate and they're fine for like three months but sometimes it doens't work and i gott open the case and swab the stick and I just like what the hell nintendo like I'm still gonna play games but like me angy: FIX

  • GeneralRayburn GeneralRayburn (@GeneralRayburn) reported

    @gibbogame @MatPiscatella @Nintendo So you want to have a 3rd party service on Nintendo's console, competing with its own eShop, where gamers would be paying Microsoft to play unlicensed Nintendo games. Gee Nintendo, why did you refuse???

  • Amek56877108 Crash Smash (@Amek56877108) reported

    Ok if Crash gets sold Nintendo should buy him

  • usrnamesarelame Some Guy (@usrnamesarelame) reported

    @ZoopWolf You can ship it to Nintendo for joycon drift. Pretty sure legally they're forced to fix it in this specific case.
