Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • oceansunfishy mola mola (@oceansunfishy) reported

    @RicOnTheTyne @NintendoUK Don't hold your breath for those or any other games with potential licensing issues.

  • PcElitest PC Elitist (@PcElitest) reported

    @race_penguin Exactly. If Nintendo made a PC port most people right now emulating would stop and buy the PC port. Piracy is a service problem, not a price problem

  • cheridensucks the low-cal calzone zone (@cheridensucks) reported

    @Janner87 Exactly! It’s not necessarily an issue unique to Nintendo either, PCs are just generally more accessible since they’ve become common requirements for school/work. Someone shouldn’t be shamed for being unable to afford a $200+ console and then every $60 game after that

  • Anggul_D Anggul (@Anggul_D) reported

    @TheVioletNexus @avaris15 @NintendoUK I was more referring to the online service being bad for almost every game. I love Nintendo games in general but they still don't understand online play and yet they charge for it.

  • digitaltodd todd hodge (@digitaltodd) reported

    5 feet apart and @NintendoAmerica local play communication errors constantly, what gives?

  • ariagaming64 ~Tales of Aria~ (@ariagaming64) reported

    @DaversWasHere I don't have a problem with people playing the game on an emulator if they actually purchased the game. That's the issue here - a major gaming news source encouraging playing a brand new game without paying for it because they have criticisms of Nintendo and their hardware.

  • vier_dreissig 🐱vier supremacy🐱 (@vier_dreissig) reported

    @SoloJustus @Shade_Nox @somebreaddo i don't see issue if it's not an indie dev or a dev/company who's just starting. they get paid the same either way. people who buy it will buy it. people who wouldn't either way would pirate it. that's how it always has been when it comes to big companies, especially nintendo.

  • ZephyrFloofDerg Zephyr the Floofy Derg (@ZephyrFloofDerg) reported

    @DogMangy @stephentotilo It's something that only happens after prolonged usage of the joycon. Effectively the control stick will get stuck and keep going in the same direction. Nintendo kept pretending it wasn't an issue until they started repairing them free of charge after a while.

  • PwnProblems Akita (@PwnProblems) reported

    @GendoWasRight @asylum_sentry @ChrisTarrant8 Piracy has been widespread since the start of home computers. The problem I guess is not the ones who would never buy, but those who encourage others who may of purchased. Some PC gamers feel they have a right to any game, oblivious of intended target. Nintendo will disagree.

  • StreaksFox 🐾 (@StreaksFox) reported

    @mmmatches The running narrative is that they most likely were going to have a 4k version out this year before the massive supply issues from Covid made them scrap it. Even now there are developers who say they have 4k kits from Nintendo.

  • GODS3NTSERVICES GODS3NT SERVICES (@GODS3NTSERVICES) reported

    @NintendoAmerica This shouldn't even be an issue for us. Frankly I don't care about the island (we can make pretty much any island how we want) I care about everything I've earned! You could backup our character, items, etc to the cloud. So our time is not wasted!

  • Uncle_Worry 🌹Tío de Ansiedad🌹 (@Uncle_Worry) reported

    I'm begging you Nintendo, don't make me subscribe to a service to play the classic games, just give me a fixed price and I'll ******* buy it

  • MarcBurrage Marc Burrage @ Develop 26th + 27th Oct (@MarcBurrage) reported

    @SNepeon @NintendoUK Banjo was only an issue to resolve with the game dev. Bond has so many external rights (MGM, Sony, Universal, Broccoli family) holders it would be completely out of the question compared to the revenue it would generate to even bother trying to get it resolved.

  • SombreAria Jamie H. (@SombreAria) reported

    @nickiology21 @NintendoUK @EmilyRogersBlog I argee Pokémon Stadium 1 & 2 should be added to the service. Likely is to why we haven't heard from those yet is due to issues with the GB Tower in said games. Perhaps the solution would be DLC for that game in particular to obtain Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver &/or Crystal?

  • WeirdlyHungry Sujay (@WeirdlyHungry) reported

    @5w4t_ @GIBiz This is not true. Piracy is and always has been a distribution issue. And wouldn't you know it, Nintendo doesn't have an official presence in my country. So **** em.
