Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Sotamusora Zannon Koitsu (@Sotamusora) reported

    @bowserzeki @Hi37448370 @NintendoAmerica Funny give nintendos 3ds update 11.14.0.46 corrupts 3ds users boot.firm and boot.3dsx files. Leading to a Arm 11 (core 1) error. Which, can only be fixed if a console is homebrewed . So, nice of big N to say **** the 3ds fan base :/

  • PrideTMM Pride🏳️‍🌈 (@PrideTMM) reported

    theres been the thought in my head that nintendo could contract the slippi team or rerelease melee or anything of the sort but realistically it would be pal it would most likely suffer from the same control issues that sm64 and sunshine did

  • JSandwich115 Lincoln Clay's #1 simp ❤️💙🖤 (@JSandwich115) reported

    @PotOfGreedo But Nintendo's problem is making business decisions not games lol

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • Sotamusora Zannon Koitsu (@Sotamusora) reported

    @GlaceonTs @NintendoAmerica Could be worse. Nintendo updated the 3ds to 11.14.0.46 to corrupt the system bios :/ So, many users who didnt homebrew there system got ****** . An now people have to do that an replace the boot.firm and boot.3dsx to fix the Arm 11 (core1) error. That Nintendo ****** up .

  • FEARLESSCHRIS8 CHRIS ALDANA (@FEARLESSCHRIS8) reported

    @plasmadmiin @SMXshow @LeakyPandy **** gane that goes against what fans want! priced DLC for an unfinished game Barely playable with **** framerate Horrible game in the series with many issues no one wanted Mystery Dungeon DX & sold ****! XENOBLADE came & went! limited release Nintendo failed in 2020

  • GregRB14 Hey, is that Jay | B/L/M (@GregRB14) reported

    i was staunchly anti-Melee before and while i do think the community still has problems it pales in comparison to the massive disservice that Nintendo is doing to it right now, and all the other terrible things they're doing, right now

  • _cckirby CC Kirby (@_cckirby) reported

    @41skeletons I will never understand how a company like Nintendo could be struggling so bad with faulty hardware problems and they're pathetically terrible way of responding to it is inexcusable!! I'm so sorry you have to deal with this nonsense now too

  • FEARLESSCHRIS8 CHRIS ALDANA (@FEARLESSCHRIS8) reported

    @plasmadmiin I agree But its something the fans wanred nonetheless even though if it ended up Being false & You not caring proves How Nintendo can get away with laziness Remember ACTIVISION Had all 3 Crash & Spyro games fully remastered for PS4 & whatnot while Nintendo just does ports

  • Donuf_ Big Gun 🎃 🦃 (@Donuf_) reported

    I want to tag every nintendo account and tell them to fix their servers

  • erickuromi abby (@erickuromi) reported

    @Nintendo i have noticed an error in the game where I cannot marry petra when i play as a girl . Plz fix immediately <3

  • cleaverhype 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿YES 2021🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@cleaverhype) reported

    Is it true that Nintendo will fix JoyCon drift for free outside of warranty? I need to get in on that ASAP

  • STARBOYXCX jio ♎︎ (@STARBOYXCX) reported

    nintendo rly has the audacity to say that drift isn’t a real issue on the switch..

  • cleaverhype 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿YES 2021🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@cleaverhype) reported

    Does anyone know how/where I send Nintendo my joycon for repair? Apparently they fix them for free so ima need to get in on that asap.

  • us888209 InspectorDetector (@us888209) reported

    @SydneyLWatson So much for a veteran owned company! What kind of military veterans run with their tail between their legs at the first sign of trouble. Must have been veterans of Nintendo.

  • Sotamusora Zannon Koitsu (@Sotamusora) reported

    @StarChases Here's something nintendo doesn't want you to know in the 3ds update 11.14.0.46 the update has crashed and bricked so many non homebrewed 3ds systems . The error can only be fixed by replacing the boot.firm and boot.3DSX which is bs on Nintendo .

  • JibleySoseph Sibley Joseph (@JibleySoseph) reported

    @SatchellDrakes Honestly I recommend the replacement sticks repair kit on amazon for like $15. I sent mine off to Nintendo and got it back with more problems than when I sent them. Self repair worked better for me. Its pretty simple just a few screws and fasteners.

  • Sotamusora Zannon Koitsu (@Sotamusora) reported

    @Ninkender @NintendoAmerica At least the melee fans didn't get a update like the 3ds did on 11.14.0.46 that is corrupting system bios. An thanks to Nintendo . The only way to fix there bios corruption is to have the console restored and modded to replace to boot.FIRM and boot.3DSX files :/

  • Vendel27 Vendel (@Vendel27) reported

    @Dexerto not the best at all. better than the last ones? yes indeed. but had a lot of issues and they nver been fixed. Ps3 was even much worse... Try super nintendo, Gamecube or megadrive...

  • bayelrey80 bayelrey80 (@bayelrey80) reported

    @xnever_landx I think the XB has dev issues to iron out, but Bethesda's non-committal to exclusivity is more concerning imo. XB wants exclusive games for their platform & it's interesting Bethesda is pushing back. Probably bc a big portion of their customers are PS & Nintendo gamers.

  • Just_RJ_ 🎶 𝖱𝖩 (@Just_RJ_) reported

    nintendo's website has been broken for the best part forever, can never log into that bullshit

  • Its_Rosie_626 Rosie is Pixels (@Its_Rosie_626) reported

    @HusakFamily Oh, I don’t have Nintendo Online, is that a problem?

  • SSBUBubbles Bubblé (@SSBUBubbles) reported

    @bunnnui @turndownforwalt @NintendoAmerica Do you think every sport, religion, large company, the film industry, the music industry, youth club, and gaming community should be shut down too? Because they all have this problem and many actively turned a blind eye what was happening. I want change, not a temporary solution.

  • OaklandKao Oakland or Kao (@OaklandKao) reported

    Almost December and I still haven't got my Age of Calamity issue of Nintendo Force after being charged. I usually get them the first week of the month.

  • NinjaSox7 NinjaSox7 - FREEDOM (@NinjaSox7) reported

    @Radshyguy I don't get it was me giving Nintendo money for it the problem? I just wanted to play it and I never owned it on Wii U

  • mlgxxx808 mlgXXX808 (@mlgxxx808) reported

    @CollectNintendo will nintendo ever fix their online service

  • Sotamusora Zannon Koitsu (@Sotamusora) reported

    @CatCet3 Did you hear the 3ds update 11.14.0.46 corrupts the system bios . If that's not enough. Nintendo made non homebrewed 3ds systems unfixable. By causing, a Arm 11 (core 1 ) error :/ Making people lose access to there games. Funny how Nintendo is ******* up this year .

  • KestrelFalcon11 ★Kestrel(#BLM)★ (@KestrelFalcon11) reported

    @DarkDetectiveNL @Chris_Dring And let's pretend that the next-generation consoles don't have supply problems and wouldn't have crushed the Nintendo Switch if they didn't have these problems
