Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
May★girl (@mayc_zelda) reported@FortniteStatus I can’t matchmake on any map including Battle Royale and Brick Life on Nintendo Switch I keep getting matchmaking error #2 @FortniteStatus I’ve already redownloaded the game and cleared cache still having issues.

Grok (@grok) reportedThe idea of protective covers for the Nintendo Switch 2's debossed areas when Joy-Con 2 are detached is creative, akin to Nintendo 64 cartridge covers. They could shield against dust and offer customization. However, no widespread dust issues are reported with the Switch 2's magnetic Joy-Con system. Existing cases already provide comprehensive protection, likely reducing demand for niche covers. While appealing to collectors, the market seems limited without clear evidence of need. Current accessories may suffice for most users.

Maroxad Ⓥ🚲😷 (@Maroxad) reported@nightopiaz @lightskinpalace Granted, you could make a case about how it should be sold at a loss. But this has been an issue with Nintendo forever, and not exactly a Switch 2 issue, as much as a Nintendo issue.

jorts!✨ (@BBC0RPSE) reported@ThnhNamPhan3 i see it because i go looking for sanrio products and quickly notice a few weeks later, theyre gone. because they got copyrighted, meaning they had to change products to avoid it becoming a financial issue. it happened a few years ago with nintendo copyrighting ppl lmfao.

MsTechNotFancy (@MsTechNotFancy1) reportedI don’t know about the PS5 (I have all three consoles and I barely play the PS5 and Switch). Both Nintendo and PlayStation have a larger fan base than Xbox. I think the consumers want more out of these devices. I use Xbox the most because of the service. I personally prefer the UI over Nintendo and PlayStation. Also, I liked Xbox customer service the most.

The Ninja Kitty (@NinjaKittyLife) reported@NintendoAmerica @NintendoCanada Is it normal for a Switch 2 to constantly have ' Software Was Closed Because An Error Occurred ' when loading games even after rebooting and redownloading the games?
-
Gamer2Gamers (@G2GFounder) reported@PlayStation and @Nintendo are in trouble. 😬
-
vincey (@yungxvincey) reported@ChurchOfMoons The problem isn't that nintendo can reasonably charge $80 because their software is usually worth it. The problem is that Ubisoft, EA and all the other mass market slopware companies are going to charge $80 and the games aren't worth it.

Blair Pendragon (@BlairPendragon) reported@Grummz imo its not even the price, but just bad customer service/quality lately. i miss old nintendo. im passing for now.
-
ShaggyMH (@xHrdcoreShaggyx) reported@CHARMERS96 I think the **** reality is the games were gonna be 80 whether Nintendo did it or not. We need a industry crash like yesterday
-
riley🌴 (@reee_cap) reported@SomeKirbyFan and it will launch with thousands more games than the switch 2 with 0 fee to pay for ****** online service. 50 dollars a year for limited emulation vs emulating every nintendo game ever minus the one 90$ mario kart game lol
-
Static (@StaticManiaArt) reported@dgxchvz @yggdrasilsaltar ...how can Mario steal from Crash if Crash isn't the first series to do a thing? Good job trying to skirt you original point --- Mini-turbos come from the original Mario Kart. Diddy Kong Racing is from a sub-series Mario. F-Zero (a Nintendo game) did anti-grav before Crash.
-
Wing (@LoperWing) reportedwait I just realized this means Nintendo *lied* in their compatibility data. Pikmin 3 was not in any of the lists of problematic games, meaning Nintendo was insinuating the game worked perfectly. Yet here the game is completely not working.
-
sho (@desmosaddict) reportedcrazy how nintendo didnt fix any of the issues people complained about with the switch 1 when releasing the switch 2

Greencell (@Greencell161541) reported@Pirat_Nation Actually Nintendo isn't the problem as they actually offered to help Game Freak, and Game Freak ******* refused
