Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BeanLiotos 🥝 (@BeanLiotos) reported

    holy **** joycons are so cringe Nintendo cannot make usable hardware. These shits just disconnect randomly

  • davjutz davjutz (@davjutz) reported

    @n4hpg the bigger problem with Gamestop is that Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft are pushing more digital game releases then physical. its cheaper for a publisher to push a digital game then something physical with a disk and a case. Also consoles are now coming without disk drives

  • wynn728 Wynn Memphis, Tennessee (@wynn728) reported

    @Goldenbrawler @PushDustIn Byleth was still part of the problem. When people first heard that Nintendo are picking the characters they worried that they're gonna have shill characters in. After the first four people thought the concern of a shill character was silly and that there's no way they would...

  • AfroCrossing AfroCrossing - Feb 14th - 21st (@AfroCrossing) reported

    and Japanese gaming companies and industries already have issues with antiblackness. I never expected them to be on our side in this--at all. So neither should you. Nintendo isn't the spokesperson on how black people get to feel, and we shouldn't let them make us feel

  • rpgsmaker jas (@rpgsmaker) reported

    ive had my ipad and 3 nintendo ds lites broken by my siblings you do not want that

  • half1spin louie from pikmin 2 (@half1spin) reported

    louie from Pikmin 2 doesn’t seem like a real character anymore like there’s a disconnect whenever I play Pikmin 2 for my Nintendo Wii i just can’t believe it

  • ProfessorWatts1 NoWay | Professor Watts (@ProfessorWatts1) reported

    Gonna try and stream tonight. Don't know what time yet. Been trying to get an issue with nintendo resolved.

  • MNeko MNeko (@MNeko) reported

    @HG_101 @mollipen Nintendo has a golden opportunity to fix the problems with Uprising on a system properly equipped for it, and of course they just sit on their hands. Derp.

  • r3tro_xo r3troaf1 (@r3tro_xo) reported

    @SquareEnix @balanwworld The game on nintendo switch not only looks poorly but runs poorly too , i wish this was a nintendo switch thing and the game was good in other consoles but the problem this game has go way far beyond that , its a shame

  • enbybees soup (@enbybees) reported

    the new @ArloStuff video is super good in discussing not only the issue with nintendo’s anti consumer policys but the game industry as a whole

  • NerdweebA ANerdweebGames (@NerdweebA) reported

    @ArloStuff Three: Approaches like this only encourage people to seek things like ROMs out. Seeing as Nintendo absolutely hates anything remotely related to the concept and could cut down on the issue by making more titles readily legitimately available, I really don't get their logic here.

  • RaccoonWyatt Gay *** raccoon (@RaccoonWyatt) reported

    @stckfb Damn all these "b-b-but respect copyright" people out for this one but whenever nintendo strikes down a remake of one of their main ips or sumn then these people got an issue "Noooo that's different ones for profit" so? No difference between switching on AM2R and this imo.

  • JusCraig37 Craig Morgan (@JusCraig37) reported

    @MatthewMarshal7 @SpawnWaveMedia @NintendoAmerica Before #nintendo thinks about releasing a new switch model. They definitely needs to tackle their controller issues.. joycons and pro controllers aren’t cheap hell. I’ll be damn if I buy another #NintendoSwitch console with the same issues that would be jus stupid

  • nintendofac Awesome Nintendo Facts (@nintendofac) reported

    Nintendo was going to release a game called Cornbread Time, for the switch and it has a review score of 10/10 from many retailers on metacritic but it got removed due to copyright problems. However it's been brought back online, all you have to do is search up CBT and you find it

  • fIowerwork jas mean (@fIowerwork) reported

    can someone tell me how to fix a drifty joycon on my nintendo switch 😔 it's been broken since i bought it

  • Homoseshual Jay (@Homoseshual) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @balanwworld Its cute but has serious performance issues. And im sure it looks way better on PS or Xbox.

  • WarreVFX Divine Warre | Editor (@WarreVFX) reported

    @DvnGGs nintendo switch pro lite controller with metal pedals and broken monitor connected with elgato

  • Stevagorn Dr. Steve Kuniak (@Stevagorn) reported

    @SteelCityBrand Nintendo games. Specifically, I remember getting Cobra Triangle (by @RareLtd) from the Service Merchandise in the Waterworks.

  • PhoenixHero98 PhoenixHero (@PhoenixHero98) reported

    @zarotoshi @RogerMelian @gematsucom Kind of. But thats how it is, they had big financial issues in the early 2010's that ultimately forced them to pull out of Bayo 2. No one but Nintendo was willing to pick it up, thus it became a Wii U exclusive and the rest is history.

  • Chandude We Took a Chonce (@Chandude) reported

    I miss when I could play Nintendo games online without having to pay for a separate online service like most of us already pay for the internet so why should we also pay just to enable its usage in the game?😖

  • ReplicatedKey 𝓧𝓲𝓸𝓷 (@ReplicatedKey) reported

    //okay these people need to stop with the damn lawsuits against Nintendo switch joycons drift this is going to take longer for them to fix the drifting issue!!!

  • jessayleee jess☃️ (@jessayleee) reported

    @doodahlanding Their regular online customer service only helps with problems directly relating to the switch... My Nintendo or their store doesn’t have its own help line ):

  • Animus_jam Pb&jam (back in puyo hell) (@Animus_jam) reported

    @Happy_Ducky17 @SpacePaincake Well i probably won’t use my switch for emulation till the next Nintendo console comes out so that’s no real issue for me

  • itzjustdubz itzjustdubs (@itzjustdubz) reported

    @videotech_ There's already a clone being made lol it will be the same cat and mouse game as romhackers and Nintendo, I dont think this will fix it completely

  • AnnFlorence8 Ann Florence (@AnnFlorence8) reported

    @Naolwyn @NintendoUK Having issues with your account? Worry less, i recommend @Adam_lind05 on Instagram He recovers hacked, Suspended & banned accounts. Tested and trusted...

  • ZycronBarcomb Zycron and Espeon (@ZycronBarcomb) reported

    @FE_Heroes_EN @NintendoAmerica why don’t you fix your Nintendo account linking with Fire Emblem Heroes my friend just lost all his units as he had to upgrade his phone

  • Fiskerdin Thomas Larsen (@Fiskerdin) reported

    @Tyler_McV Not sure how that's relevant for Nintendo, they didn't license the design from Nvidia, they're purchasing them through Nvidia. If Nvidia's got a problem with it, maybe they would do another spin-off and put it on Samsung?

  • CyAn4010 Moose | CyAn (@CyAn4010) reported

    @OrangeDog_SSBU especially for nintendo known to put out colorful content that pleases everyone Also its kinda odd how they canceled entire events and more because of the usage of a cracked version of the game but mother 3 has an entire translated version made by fans that never got into trouble

  • BSBrightSpark Bright Spark💡 (@BSBrightSpark) reported

    @GingerGMentor @ArloStuff They never had problems rereleasing SM64 and Super Mario Galaxy in particular tho. Granted, Sunshine not so much, but then again Nintendo generally didn't rerelease Gamecube games too much, aside from specific titles for the Wii in the New Play Control line, and Luigi's Mansion.

  • Mixellaneous_ Mixellaneous (@Mixellaneous_) reported

    @just_misk @OutOfContextEv 2/2 it lacked originality it just merged different properties together and bam lego dimensions with skylanders it did like 2 crossovers one with Nintendo ip’s and the other with crash and cortex it just was disappointing for me
