Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RandomName256 May (@RandomName256) reported

    @sevengranddad92 Mario Galaxy and Skyward Sword ran on a custom in-house emulator Nintendo developed. That's why the visuals had few glitches not present on Wii (outside of some emulation errors). SCU is a port. Normally ports are good, but the port job here isn't the greatest.

    @ZionDood I think a big problem Nintendo is running into is struggling to get third parties to work with them. It seemed to not be an issue at first, but more and more companies are starting to see the profit in these games and would rather just release them for sale individually on eshop.

  • meimeimeixie crispy and tender (@meimeimeixie) reported

    Nintendo putting more of their catalog up on their subscription service is not a good thing.

  • ColonelBenSP Ben (@ColonelBenSP) reported

    @VultXuasra @MikeXeno__ switch being underpowered doesn't help and the sooner people stop excusing nintendo being several generations behind because"they do their own thing" or in this case "portability" the better.These are compounding issues because of the system,the port team and the engine they used

  • Benjanime Benjamillion (@Benjanime) reported

    @ClementJ64 Meanwhile, Nintendo can't be bothered to fix the typo from Yoshi's dialogue in Super Mario 64.

  • mudron Bill Mudron (@mudron) reported

    No wonder that this time of year is the only time Nintendo really announces anything interesting for the Switch Online service - September is when most peoples' subscriptions come up for renewal, and they've gotta throw *something* out there to keep people from canceling.

    @_TropicalSplash If you're talking about this post specifically, then all videos shared from the Nintendo Switch have that hashtag by default. Your point is most certainly a valid one, but unless there are others out there blaming this issue on the Switch hardware I think you're misunderstanding.

  • lirogiro Lirogiro (@lirogiro) reported

    @MarieGardiner Don't know if you want an addition or a replacement but if you are having drift issues with an existing joycon Nintendo will give you a free replacement as it's a known issue.

  • phonicamoebalt phonic (@phonicamoebalt) reported

    @Melodic_Lemons3 it's definitely mostly nintendo's fault but sega isn't clear the game still has issues on all other versions

  • xurbles xurbs (@xurbles) reported

    yeah Nintendo Switch Online is bullshit but I have a feeling that everyone complaining about not having their favorite game on the service are die hard fans that already have multiple ways of playing said game

  • sir_caramel Sir Caramel (@sir_caramel) reported

    @theWellRedMage What if Nintendo didn't charge extra for their abysmal online service?

  • tomathius tomathius #plantgang (@tomathius) reported

    Like, I get it. Compared to the PS5 and Series X, Nintendo is way behind when it comes to power. I've never seen that as a problem, but I understand why alot of people hate it. But jesus ******* christ, SURELY Sega could've done a better job at optimising the game for the Switch

  • MoonDoggieGG Mohamed (@MoonDoggieGG) reported

    @CrossleyColor @JuiceMan_V @jasonschreier Shovelware on the eShop is a problem that needs to be addressed but it's irrelevant to the quality of Nintendo games and how much money they cost/bring to Nintendo and how sustainable their whole business model is. When a Nintendo game is released you WILL hear about it.

  • LoudCartoonist LoudCartoonist99 (@LoudCartoonist) reported

    @sevengranddad92 I feel people fault the hardware too much for a lot of issues with the ports. More often than not, it's usually that developers don't know how to optimize their games for weaker hardware. And it's not as if the Switch's hardware is too weak to handle any non-Nintendo games.

  • SONICAWSMEFACTS Awesome Sonic facts NSFW DNI (@SONICAWSMEFACTS) reported

    I think tht the problem that has sonic colors ultimate on the switch is kinda similar to the problems the nintendo switch had when was launched back in 2017 and a lot of people noticed several problems within the console. Tbh I hope that they make an Update/patch of the Game-
