Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • YeezusOneil Young Sephiroth (@YeezusOneil) reported

    @NikoMueller Its gonna be about, it will be cloud and services. I predict that at the end, Nintendo will be king of handheld alone in that market and Sony will be king of consoles alone in the market, and Xbox will pass to be just a service that in every device will be on.

  • Solharath Solharath (@Solharath) reported

    @Sheecacaa3 Smash as a whole will only see short term success in the coming years until mods are embraced. The community will continue to make needless concessions to please Nintendo, causing patchable problems to become monetary obstacles in order to compete. Letting PM go hurt everyone.

  • BNd064 TheShinyBountyHunter (@BNd064) reported

    @NintendoAmerica It didn’t fix anything

  • IrieToshihiko Irie Toshihiko (@IrieToshihiko) reported

    @Nintendo The network connection issue become even worse after your update on Sep 30th. This kind of unstable network services really destroy the playing experience, since you need to connect successfully, and the other seven should also be stable. Please at least deal with this issue!!!

  • Jayyceon Jay ☁️ ▴ @ XC3 brainrot (@Jayyceon) reported

    @TJTheOGDJ honestly the biggest problem too is that none of that money is going to the game company either, like if nintendo ported old pokemon games and **** to the switch for individual purchase there would be SO many people willing to buy them from nintendo instead of pirating them

  • Kaihedgie1 Kaihedgie (@Kaihedgie1) reported

    @JTMasterJedi @Kirbythebishop @NintendoAmerica A steadier hand? Being able to change the controls so that the crosshair only moves when I'm shooting or charging? No lag or calibration issues? That the ability to aim gave me far more precision and freedom to hit targets I would have otherwise missed in older games?

  • Balzac_Asimov Larry Comber👨‍🦯 (@Balzac_Asimov) reported

    The store and subscription service did not live up to the tech IMO; too little selection and too expensive. I get that maintaining game-ready cloud servers is super expensive, but prices for older releases dropped even slower than first party Nintendo games.

  • starteas Comet 🐑🌟 | Lumi Pilot | Workin' on comms (@starteas) reported

    Oh okay lmao so the reason I keep loosing is because Nintendo’s servers are so *** I keep getting disconnected or communication errors. **** meeee

  • nensondubois_ Soul Filing Cabinets / Loving Angel Friend / AMA (@nensondubois_) reported

    There is an orange NES Zelda 1 NES cartridge used for testing consoles at repair NWCS Nintendo World Class Service stores. Originally they were supposed to be orange but Nintendo later decided on gold because it was more cool? Does anyone officially actually know?

  • DeevDaRabbit DeevDaRabbit (@DeevDaRabbit) reported

    @MissMcCloud64 It might be because Nintendo was using SF2 as a reason to use their stupid SNES Online service. Notice how they mention the service in the tweet. They don't actually care all that much about the franchise, it's the stupid service they're advertising.

  • Prangaerie chelsea (@Prangaerie) reported

    Nintendo: “We’re fixing communication errors in Splatoon 3! It’s good now!” Me: *getting more com errors than usual*

  • schwinn3 Steven Gussman (@schwinn3) reported

    At the end of the day, Stadia isn't a good service or people would want it and then enjoy it once they had it. It's strange, too, because the consoles (including Nintendo!) seems to stream some games, and I haven't heard anything about it, bad or good. But the feature continues.

  • CMariePNG snuppy (@CMariePNG) reported

    nintendo you can't say you're fixing the communication errors and then just not do it this **** is *** u literally can't play series bc u run the risk of the game dropping u and penalising u even tho u didn't do anything

  • KSmarties KSmarthouse (@KSmarties) reported

    @DanGanGalaxy @FloweyGMan @NintendoAmerica To be fair it’s not bad. It’s 1080p 60fps and does it well. The problem like so many are saying is that since the first FIFA game they put on Switch, literally been similar with roster changes and understandably people have had enough.

  • 5Noxa Noxa (@5Noxa) reported

    @GideonOnGaming @NintendoAmerica You know that western AAA games aren’t gonna face the same problems too.

  • Hatsuma2 Hatsuma (@Hatsuma2) reported

    @SlashBryz @ghostvisp @Puertorock77_ True. Guess Nintendo charging more to be on the service

  • xiaoyai xiaoyai (@xiaoyai) reported

    @SplatoonJP fix the ******* sever nintendo!!!

  • LordGlubGlub Lord Glub Glub (@LordGlubGlub) reported

    Well we are now going on a 3rd month of @PlayStation #JediAcademy server being down. @AspyrMedia has let the @NintendoAmerica Switch servers stay offline because they are ignoring requests to just restart them, despite performing those requests in the past to fix them.

  • Cassideerest cass of '22, deer of '95 (@Cassideerest) reported

    so tell me how nintendo is going to lie and say they're going to fix connection errors in splatoon 3 and i'm down 2 games in my anarchy series because of connection errors

  • jung_germy cvor (@jung_germy) reported

    nintendo ************* didnt fix internet connection ****

  • BNd064 TheShinyBountyHunter (@BNd064) reported

    @NintendoUK Fix the servers!

  • realabzhu A. Hu - RIP HM Queen Elizabeth II & Shinzo Abe  (@realabzhu) reported

    @AlinePiroutek @BlandrewYT Sony: "Disc read error"? **** YOU! Also, Nintendo were under a fair amount of pressure to do something about that

  • BNd064 TheShinyBountyHunter (@BNd064) reported

    @NintendoAmerica FIX THE SPLATOON SERVERE

  • BrooklynshireX BrooklynShire (@BrooklynshireX) reported

    @N120Xeno @1340Smile Yep, maybe she can tell Nintendo to fix em

  • buncrimes felonious rabbit (@buncrimes) reported

    switch is now hardwired so if there's a communication error i can 100% blame nintendo now

  • darkdeath174 Robert Hendrie (@darkdeath174) reported

    @SpikeChunsoft_e @Steam @valvesoftware be better, if Nintendo has no problem with this game, then you shouldn’t either. People who review games for the platform need to get over their anime hate.

  • LordofPoyos Lord of Poyos (@LordofPoyos) reported

    @That_Guy_Negus I have a conspiracy theory that splatoon 3 has a random chance where at any time a communication error occurs however its fake and not a actual communication error its just nintendo ******* with us all

  • LLinoone Isaac The Murkrow (@LLinoone) reported

    @EfrainMay23 I feel like I never had that much latency/connection issues like this in Splatoon 2, I hope Nintendo improves this soon... Comm errors still happen way more than I'd like as well 😕

  • Mista_MooSSB Scout Regiment | Starlight | Bean | Moo (@Mista_MooSSB) reported

    why is nintendo so bad, three (i think) updates that they attempted to fix splatoon 3s servers and they got w o r s e. i have no words

  • redpixelstory Now we're boppin'! (@redpixelstory) reported

    At this point Nintendo may as well call it 'Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Unforeseen Issues Edition'.
