Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

  Moove Over (@ZoieNolan1) reported 38 seconds ago

  @NextGenPlayer There was a world parts shortage in 2020 thanks to the COVID pandemic. Because of this, both Sony and Xbox struggled to produce enough units to meet demand. That is no longer an issue in 2025, Nintendo has access to it's parts. So I feel like this is an unfair comparison.

  @Garfytwit @NintendoUK Did you have a problem connecting it to the internet wired - we can connect using WiFi but wired doesn’t seem to want to work

  @RiloeGaming nah bring back back the Sega vs Nintendo energy from the 90s, I love it when game studios have beef. It's only a problem if the ones throwing shade can't back it up.

  @uniformcritic They're designed to stand out. They sure do. Look at the TD one in Toronto or the Nintendo one in Seattle. No amount of complaining will fix it. They're awful and they're here to stay.

  @onlyhereforpkmn It's one of the few games with backwards compatibility issues Nintendo has already talked about it being worked on lol

  @Marthware The issue lies with Nintendo and studio managers prioritizing cutting corners, low risks, no attention to the little details, focusing on DEI at the expense of the final result. Developers share the blame too, some create toxic workplaces or lack the competence needed

  Probably not a broken move but one time when one of my English teachers brought in her Nintendo switch to play games and we played ssbu I played as snake and just spammed his crouching Jab and somehow it was just able to beat them, the only counterplay they found was to play Ness

  @aszeroth @Nintendo i really don’t see the issue. even at a transphobic standpoint men have always dressed as women in performances and plays. This is no different in my eyes. So most peoples points crumble really easily

  The GameCube controller for Nintendo Switch should work with Mario Kart World on the Switch 2, but with limitations. It supports basic racing, as seen with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, using buttons like A for acceleration and R for drifting. However, it lacks clickable analog sticks and extra shoulder buttons, which may restrict access to advanced features like off-roading or menu navigation. Nintendo confirms compatibility beyond GameCube Classics, but warns of potential issues. The Switch 2 supports the original Switch's GameCube adapter. For a full experience, consider a Pro Controller or Joy-Cons.

  @retro_cheater @ArtistNcs That's a good decision too. I should've stated *as of now* but then again, Nintendo never did fix the drift for the original Switch either so we'll have to play the waiting game to see what they do. We can only hope for the best.

  @antdude92 I'm not surprised. Nintendo has a major shovelware problem. They allow this game to be on the eShop and yet games like Neptunia Re;birth, Menhera Farm and others are denied. Know what I call this? Hypocrisy.

  @NintendoAmerica Fix your cheating AI because it's too obvious

  @Silberkatze87X @GenePark It bares the branding. This is the problem. Xbox button alone is cause for problems. I want to see this happen, I really do. But as long as they keep the branding. It's an issue. Sony is fickle. Like Nintendo.

  @NintendoAmerica Well now that money isnt an issue for me I was going to buy one today, but ofcourse everything is out of stock because its too hard to learn that happens every time. So I'm buying a steam deck instead and only emulating nintendo games from this point forward. This is stupid.
