Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Cubeconquer CubeishSlime (@Cubeconquer) reported

    @PIMPNITEYT @NintendoAmerica You would think they would be easily able to just add Home to the 3ds and keep the service running after the online services go down

  • Shiori_Ishimaru Sophia (@Shiori_Ishimaru) reported

    I think Nintendo sees digital as something fleeting and perishable. But by taking down their services for purchasing games, they've created a service problem. What's that old Gabe Newell quote? Piracy is an issue of service.

  • Fat_DTEA Fat-TEA (@Fat_DTEA) reported

    @Disentegration0 @DrewSav i thought the issue was the 3ds/wii u shop is the cheapest way to get older system games that aren't on the nintendo online system. finding gameboy games would be almost impossible (or expensive). the wii u and 3ds games can still be found used and the pop ones were ported.

    @SB2749 Personally I don’t see the problem I think it’s nice of Nintendo to finally give everyone a reason to use emulators if they haven’t already

  • CraftyAD360 Crafty (Mario Strikers arc) (@CraftyAD360) reported

    It kinda sucks cuz my Wii U was broken by my brother years ago. And hearing this news hit especially hard. Damn Nintendo. Heartless 😢

  • UScum23 UnanimousScum23 (@UScum23) reported

    @NintendoAmerica All you idiots who support this *** backward company deserve this. They keep treating you like **** and you keep coming back for more. Always. Gotta give it to nintendo, they're dealers and they know their crackheads will always come back for more. Until your next fix fools.

  • realFrosst Frosst (@realFrosst) reported

    @Fawfulthgreat64 @NintendoAmerica I don’t get how that would be possible but I do have to assume that was the issue. I had two different 3DS but I played plenty of games before switching 3DSes.

    @muttvore Nintendo: > Actively makes it harder to purchase legacy titles. > Shoves them in a ****** online service where you cannot keep them. > Gets surprised when people pirate their older titles.

  • Shiori_Ishimaru Sophia (@Shiori_Ishimaru) reported

    This is, of course, an issue Nintendo's struggle with for years. They fail to understand that artificial scarcity causes a service problem. They fail to understand that having an inconsistent library of classic games across causes service problems.

  • SuperSquidoodle Donna (@SuperSquidoodle) reported

    @OliverJia1014 @WumpaGem Piracy is a service problem. If Nintendo wants to stop pirates, taking them down won't work. They need to simply offer a better service then what the pirates are offering.

  • The_Meech Mitchell Kloc (@The_Meech) reported

    @Its7aco @NintendoAmerica problem is it literally doesn’t matter cause no matter how anti-consumer they are people refuse to vote with their wallets and they’re one of the richest companies on earth so they have free reignt to do whatever bullshit they want with basically zero consequence.

  • Ashynisty omstuk (complete) (@Ashynisty) reported

    @KeebyAstrokat Archivists shouldn't be threatened by legal action just for doing the safekeeping work Nintendo is supposed to handle themselves but don't. There lies the problem

  • NeoGameSpark Neo a.k.a ***** Kuwabara (@NeoGameSpark) reported

    Fans: We want you to put your old games on Switch Nintendo: here’s a real **** sub service with a trash lineup Fans: no, we want virtual console and maybe some DS/3DS titles. Nintendo: we’re charging you $50 a year Fans: we’ll just emulate.. Nintendo: WE’LL SEE YOU IN COURT

  • JaffaTropica 🍊 Jᴀғғᴀ Tʀᴏᴘɪᴄᴀ 🌴 (@JaffaTropica) reported

    @drachenfels666 @TheeAleexJ @NintendoAmerica no the alternative is piracy. Nintendo clearly, CLEARLY has show they do not give a **** about legacy content unless it's part of their overpriced subscription service, and even then they **** it up royally.

  • kiwitchi kiwi (@kiwitchi) reported

    does nintendo think that thisll make people buy their dogshit online service and not just emulate the games for free
