Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • iceboygobrr zhongli’s dhongli (@iceboygobrr) reported

    I sent my switch off to Nintendo to get the screen fixed (it’s gotten cracked since 2018) since it’s insured, but instead they said there was “no problem with the screen” but messed with my controllers - one of which was brand new and had been used a grand total of TWO times.

    @DawnXVI @NebulaPixel @NintendoAmerica But... vurtual console was also roms, the only difference was that they where bought separately and not tied to some ****** subscription service

  • AnonymousShade_ 💙 Anonymous Shade 💙 (@AnonymousShade_) reported

    Girl Problem ******* BOOBIES guys be like "heheh boobiez" all the time but NO they're annoying! I can't sit like this and play on my Nintendo switch or PS4 and it KILLS my back. **** Boobies. ...well, I guess to most guys that's the point.

  • SuperSquidoodle Donna (@SuperSquidoodle) reported

    @Pretzemilia @NintendoAmerica Digital storefronts are always going to close, it's just inevitable. They were up for 10 years, which is honestly a very long time for an online server. My main issue is Nintendo's refusal to make legacy content available on current storefronts, leaving piracy as the only option

  • SkyloftSword SkyloftSword (@SkyloftSword) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I am prepared for the input lag to be worse than OoT's... God I hope I'm wrong...

  • jctorres_9999 JT (@jctorres_9999) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix your online

    @HiatusxHiatusss Nintendo 3DS wifi assistant gonna disconnect thier heads from their sholuders cause he's living 14 packet losses ahead

  • octopus_50 Octopus Energy £50 each Credit Referral (@octopus_50) reported

    @Cex Hi, I have a Nintendo DS cart or Pokémon Pearl and Pokemon Diamond both without cases, working with no issues but son doesn't like them, are these.something you buy please?

  • MGSolidusSnake MGSolidus (@MGSolidusSnake) reported

    @HellixBastard @keneedsomeamogu @Nibellion Well that rating isn’t really reliable. The game only has 22 reviews which all give it a 100. That’s the issue with Metacritic. Games now get reviewed by way more people than that. Besides, the industry has a bias towards Nintendo anyway

  • H34th3r5 𝙷𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 (Tᴀʏʟᴏʀ’s Vᴇʀsɪᴏɴ) 🧣 (@H34th3r5) reported

    @rhirhiacnh This. People are screaming at each other when they should be asking Nintendo why they couldn’t make this happen. Capitalism at its finest. Keep the people fighting amongst themselves. Ignore the real problem… problem!

  • neowhoru Neowhoru (@neowhoru) reported

    @RaveofRavendale Coming back to your thread is the reason i had exactly this issue...a game which nearly no fantasy violence i rated for "0" but they put it up to 6...so now i need to have to increase the rating and submit a new build to nintendo.....so ..yeah good advice...next time i get higher

    time to see how nintendo customer service works

  • PrinsessePeach Prinsesse Peach (@PrinsessePeach) reported

    @RiiConnect24 I do get Error code: 268503 on Nintendo Channel.

  • vita_quest Simon Stevens (@vita_quest) reported

    @thicc_stick_boi Victim blaming again, sad to see, reminds me of the joycon boys before Nintendo finally admitted they'd been sweeping the drift issue under the rug, people just didn't take care of their stuff apparently. 🙄

  • sohnjaes sar 🥀 (@sohnjaes) reported

    save for pokemon tv, my last 6 nintendo virtual purchases have been ace attorney. i have a problem.

  • misskatiecharm Katie Charm (@misskatiecharm) reported

    @SmallRobotArmy @uint8_t Ahhh it all makes sense now. May I suggest you get the pdfs of the Nintendo Power magazines and work through the games in there? Perhaps even just allow yourself one issue a week, and that way every week new games come out and you have new ones to look forward to.

  • 8orahae Glamrock Mya (@8orahae) reported

    @ancr_cotswold @Nintendo the broken umbrella is already in nh

  • gluttony_escape 🖥️::Gluttony 📲👺🪞 (@gluttony_escape) reported

    @InsomniaAhypnia @ChrisSensei615 I would uninstall Twitter and Reinstall or alternatively try logging in on a PC or iPad or your Nintendo Switch or something to see if the problem replicates.

  • Anpumon Anubismon (@Anpumon) reported

    @TorlionDragon @ShiroSirius No cause unlike Yahtzee am willing to admit Arin Hanson errors and actually play more than 30 minutes of a game (or 5 if it's Nintendo) before declaring it "****".

  • corvus_exe 🎩 Corvus (@corvus_exe) reported

    @Thatonenicostan People are mad at this? Tell me you never had a Wii without telling me. Hell, any Nintendo system or system in general from around that time. Those kinds of warnings were everywhere. Still kinda are. So many "if you have problems, immediately stop playing and go get help".

  • AwesomeBotMC1 Egg Sander (@AwesomeBotMC1) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Can we use our My Nintendo points to fix the garbage online that we paid for?

  • Roto13 Roto13 (@Roto13) reported

    @NintendoCanada Cool, now if only you guys would fix it so I can actually sign in, maybe I'd be able to buy something.

  • StephCube Stephanie (commissions are open!) (@StephCube) reported

    @NintendoAmerica When will the online service be available for Central America? 😮‍💨

  • markyates94 Mark Yates (@markyates94) reported

    I really wish Nintendo would release they're game soundtracks, or at least have them on a streaming service

  • Rocket04_R4 Rocket04 (@Rocket04_R4) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Yeah okay, but this service will suck when the 3DS and Wii U eShops close. Legit, you are saying u hate money by doing that.

  • thatjonguy Jon (@thatjonguy) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Error: Response not successful: Received status code 400 I would like to give you money for your products directly. But you keep telling me that I cannot.

  • ACsugarloaf grace ☁️ (@ACsugarloaf) reported

    @acpeachypie @Pocket_Camp i appreciate it sm!! so i actually restarted my phone, then opened the app, then it asked me to login to my nintendo account & then it worked! that was a close one, i was so scared of losing my data 🥺😭

  • NapoleonB0ner NapoleonB0nerfart (@NapoleonB0ner) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Can't wait for it to be buggy as **** and have even worse input lag than the Wii U VC version!

  • AkihaFuji Carby Enjoyer🚗 (@AkihaFuji) reported

    @Karma_Kannon yep!! if you do just be careful about the LED ribbon cable, i've broken that at least 2 or 3 times now because of the way nintendo had it bent to fit inside the case
