Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PatStaru Pink Guy 🅨 Comms Open (@PatStaru) reported

    @NintendoAmerica What I'm seeing most to be announced are Jonesy From Fortnite, Crash Bandicoot, and Phoenix Wright Honestly I'd still like crash to be in there, but at this point I don't really care much

  • LonginusFTW no (@LonginusFTW) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I hate the thought of geno in smash but id much rather have geno than any ******* fortnite character tainting the smash community, but my true pick is probably Crash Bandicoot or Doomguy

  • meowmeowart365 meow meow🕹️☎️ (@meowmeowart365) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Doom slayer, crash, or rayman. Please.

  • AlexVeridy Alex Veridy (@AlexVeridy) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Characters that I would expect, imposter (among us) or crash bandicoot, Characters I wouldn't expect, anyone else at all.

  • New_Age_Nemo Chris Nimmo ネモ (@New_Age_Nemo) reported

    @GAMEdigital After youve finished playing dress up with what I assume is the only warehouse worker you have. Is there any chance you can swing by and grab the nintendo switch I ordered 11 days ago. you know if its not too much trouble

  • Alejand73568541 Alejandro (@Alejand73568541) reported

    @NintendoAmerica #FreeMelee and fix your stupid joy cons....

  • RoseFromTheAsh0 Rose From the Ashes (@RoseFromTheAsh0) reported

    @RealPoipole Of course it is in Nintendo's legal right. That's a given. If it were not, we'd just ignore it. The fact it IS their legal right is the PROBLEM.

  • ProjectOrange5 SmokeyMcC (@ProjectOrange5) reported

    In all seriousness tho 3. Crash 2. Idk 1. Master chief and That’s only Because some Xbox dude tweeted “👀” emoji like a minute after Nintendo announced that there would be a smash character tonight.

  • HotGamerRusko Rusko Gaming Star (@HotGamerRusko) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Just please don't let it be this sora girl or crash

  • JimboPulls JimboTheJerk (@JimboPulls) reported

    I also could see Crash Bandicoot, DOOM Guy, or an Overwatch character - but it could just be from another Nintendo IP that needs popularity boost - that could be 1 of the 4 champions from BotW (hyrule heroes) or sadly, Ring Fit adventure girl....

  • Neolink077 The Raphmeister (MAN AT WORK 1/3) (@Neolink077) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Crash, Spyro or Sora. dont **** this up for me. after ...steve...i need actuall good stuff

  • JonnyCruzCars JonnyCars100 (@JonnyCruzCars) reported

    @WalkinArsenalR @System9509 I honestly don’t think Nintendo looked into it and determined it was morally wrong. Could be said that maybe the one that presented the problem to the higher ups in Nintendo did it because he knew the situation, but I think it’s more that Nintendo saw their JoyCons = C&D.

  • clefairy283 Hannah aka The Legendary Puff (@clefairy283) reported

    @M3M310RD2020 @NintendoAmerica I hope it's Crash

  • _Cherry__Cream_ Cherry Cream Soda (@_Cherry__Cream_) reported

    So, our options Dante Crash Jonesy Fortnite Sora I'm decently curious... but why does everyone like Nintendo again?

  • TurkeyFidah Electric European Reporter (@TurkeyFidah) reported

    @NOPE_69 Nintendo are dumb when it comes to service & support But they are gods when it comes to games & quality

  • ColinTmntSonic Colin (@ColinTmntSonic) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Come on Crash

  • Shinyzin1 𝕊𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕪✨🏳️‍🌈 #AnimalCrossingGOTY (@Shinyzin1) reported

    @NintendoAmerica please be crash

  • TastyRC - ̗̀TastyRC ̖́- (@TastyRC) reported

    @NintendoAmerica CRASH BANDICOOT

  • jhonxiolon Jㅤhㅤoㅤn ~! (@jhonxiolon) reported

    @HeulendeSchneke @FluffuNintendo @Nibellion So no one can be excited about dlc for one game because they suddenly like Nintendo? Sakurai and the smash devs have nothing to do with Nintendo's decisions which are the problem right now.

  • DylanisParappa Dylan (less active) (@DylanisParappa) reported

    @YoGrail @NintendoAmerica I'm hoping windows 10 doesnt ******* crash when I load twitter again because it just did that- (sorry I had to do the funny-)

  • ReeceForces HarbingerYT (@ReeceForces) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please be Crash Please be Crash Please be Crash

  • DVDSmith David Smith (@DVDSmith) reported

    Getting the speculation in early: the last character to be revealed at #TheGameAwards was Persona 5's Joker –the hero of a PS4 game and former GOTY nominee. So it ought to be someone who a non-Nintendo would know, and would have a big impact. My prediction: Crash Bandicoot.

  • KingofToons DisneyWeen Mat (@KingofToons) reported

    Who do you predict for Smash tonight at the Game Awards ? I would want it to be Sora or Crash but it's going to be another boring safe Nintendo character

  • OscarAcevedoOr1 NintendOscar13 (@OscarAcevedoOr1) reported

    @NintendoAmerica CRASH BANDICOOT

  • LBurnerq grrrrr (@LBurnerq) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Crash bandicoot

  • Cireeightnine Funtime Emcee (@Cireeightnine) reported

    @ExpandDong15 @NintendoAmerica Crash will, enter Smash

  • Bryan_SotoPR Kerposdam_MM2 (@Bryan_SotoPR) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Crash Bandicoot???

  • lWontApologize Katrina 🦇🏳️‍🌈 (@lWontApologize) reported

    Have to send my joycons to Nintendo for repair, because they are both having horrible drift issues...can barely play anything and it’s super frustrating 😒

  • _Jackimo_ Jackimo (@_Jackimo_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please be Heavy, Crash, Scorpion, Doomguy, or Jonsey.

  • RyanThezeldafan Ryan heath Malone (@RyanThezeldafan) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Hopefully crash but I have a feeling it's something bad like fortnite
