Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JonathonStryker Tyler Gavinski (@JonathonStryker) reported

    @JUSTINtime4aLAF And, just to be clear, I'm not outright defending them or fan boying for them. I have many issues and criticisms of Nintendo. This is more just me throwing my hands up in the air and saying: "I don't know what to tell you. Its Nintendo. And they always do weird stuff like this"

  • HeroOfEquestria Ace Meister (@HeroOfEquestria) reported

    @NintendoAmerica …Super loud, this is the worst update ever! The Bluetooth audio sounded just fine in the previous update, but now it’s started to get worst, I hate this update, if anybody has problems about the your speakers who’d stay the same MAX volume let me know how you feel(2)

  • Beefboy_Roma Beefboy (@Beefboy_Roma) reported

    @nindywastaken @MrGuyTweets @NintendoAmerica Its ok, friend, dont worry. At the end is my problem, not yours xD. Just lost the trace of the conversation and needed help, thats all. See u.

  • zx_Cress_zx ZxAsch (@zx_Cress_zx) reported

    @HD_Kirin the problem is this time, Nintendo is involved. knowing those dipshits they're gonna let Dragalia just sit on the shelf and do nothing with it.

  • VideoJamesNZ VideoJamesNZ (@VideoJamesNZ) reported

    @Lord_Arse There really isn't one...And yes, I own a Switch. It's honestly Nintendo's worst console. And yes, I'd even say it's worse than the Wii U. At least the Wii U didn't have defective controllers and a PAID crappy online service with no improvement.

  • HeroOfEquestria Ace Meister (@HeroOfEquestria) reported

    @NintendoAmerica And I’m not happy about this update, I’m not talking about the folders, I’m talking about the Bluetooth volume fix, you see I use my Sound Babiez Mini speaker, when I turn on my speaker it started to become super loud, can’t even put the volume up and down it’ll stay the same(1)

  • cyberrb25 Cyberrb25 ✊✊🏼✊🏿 (@cyberrb25) reported

    @JonComms That's the side issue of being server-based: As soon as updates and servers don't pay for themselves, there's no incentive to having the game available. Incredible that a new Nintendo IP hasn't had any console tie-ins at all.

  • Wings_of_Ash Suppi (@Wings_of_Ash) reported

    @GrunkleMary If I still had the online service for nintendo, I'd tell you to come over and grab a bunch of stuff. 🥺🥺

  • marca_bureau Marc-André Bureau (@marca_bureau) reported

    @GKSeven1 @NintendoCanada I'm sure whining on Twitter will solve all your problems

  • DJK1NG_Gaming DJK1NG_Gaming - Ayakashi Triangle 🔥! 🇭🇹 (@DJK1NG_Gaming) reported

    If Nintendo and Cygames doesn't do anything else with the Dragalia Lost IP after the end the service for the game on mobile.....I am gonna be very disappointed.

  • MattFeevish Matt Feevish (@MattFeevish) reported

    5 year olds are like little goombas, if Mario taught me anything, it’s that I could easily fight 3-4 goombas simultaneously. Throw in one little 8 year old and I’ll use him as a turtle shell to save me some trouble with the previously mentioned goombas #nintendo

  • TheBodaciousD Dan Johnson (@TheBodaciousD) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Ocarina of Time singing frog mini game has to be bugged. Not sure if it's the input lag or what, but even going as fast as the joystick allows I can't do it quick enough before it times out #NintendoSwitchOnline #ocarinaoftime

  • TheNintendoFeed Dan's Nintendo Feed ☃️ (@TheNintendoFeed) reported

    @GoNintendoTweet It’s time for this franchise to jump over to an actual Nintendo platform. These free to play style games are a major problem for video game historians.

  • kooriibow problematic catgirl (@kooriibow) reported

    I think this is a mixture of two things, one being general service numbers and not doing as good as other games in Nintendo's branch, but also just the fact that there's not much CyGames can really do to sponsor or get the game out there in the same way they could with Granblue.

  • xxPulp Pulp 🍊 (@xxPulp) reported

    Dragalia Lost shutting down is actually such a blissful feeling to me. I considered Star Ocean Anamnesis the superior DL however I saw it end service twice while DL held on this long most likely due to being a Nintendo property. I can finally put to rest this spite.

  • mercuriika Frankie @ Megacon Live in 4 (@mercuriika) reported

    tbh i am genuinely surprised dragalia lasted as long as it did but dragalia friends if u wanna play a similar game to it i recommend shironeko project bc ******* nintendo sent them a lawsuit at the start of service to tery and copyright the gameplay style that NINTENDO stole LOL

  • Midgarmerc Victor Banuelos (@Midgarmerc) reported

    @starinteleon @trenthk @NintendoAmerica People wanted this the actual issue is that this is such a basic function that it's baffling it took them 5 years to implement it

  • ReisengRath ☃️Reiseng☃️ (@ReisengRath) reported

    @Xythar Nintendo: fix the numbers Cygames: oh sure we can improve it, make it more involved like our hit GBF but keep refined mechanics Nintendo: no I meant more $$ Is how I imagine the poor thing went

  • LoadyMcGee Rootin' Putin Loady 🇷🇺 (@LoadyMcGee) reported

    @crowthSA Is the implication Nintendo fears Mario like PJ feared Pete? In A Goofy Movie isn't the point of the scene that Goofy gets his heart broken? I know it's supposed to be a pro-Sonic meme but I don't get it at all

  • Midgarmerc Victor Banuelos (@Midgarmerc) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Should make an update that just lets us buy retro games instead of subscribing to your terrible service.

  • PalutenaBow BB | zonic (126/300) (@PalutenaBow) reported

    Anyway [smoking my pipe] I wouldn’t go so far as to blame Nintendo on this one. Dragalia had issues making money almost built into it, and the somewhat shallow content didn’t help much either. It was too good for this world

  • sirwah98 Wah (@sirwah98) reported

    @Novarak Yeah nah I see your point. I still have personal issues with joycon drift. Which nintendo refuses to acknowledge is a problem.

  • RandomName256 May (@RandomName256) reported

    (I moved Smash to the Nintendo category after I made this tweet. I made the Bandai folder before the Nintendo one, so I didn't notice the issue.)

  • YorunoYamiyo Nagato (@YorunoYamiyo) reported

    @LiamZR @DatChaosGuy @NintendoAmerica Problem is that it's a sub-menu within a sub-menu, not the home screen. So close to perfection honestly

  • In_the_Console2 🇺🇦Juggernaut(J-Gon)PX🦖#PokemonViolet🖲️👾 (@In_the_Console2) reported

    @bandicootpage Mhm!! Those games were my childhood back then; Crash N-Sane trilogy I copped on sale on Nintendo Switch & 100 percent almost all of them except Crash-3. Spyro reignited I played on the PS4 when it launched.. Do hope Microsoft makes a new Spyro game at some point 👀

  • danny19901 Daniel Robson (@danny19901) reported

    @HeroOfEquestria @NintendoAmerica I would try disconnecting and reconnecting it to your switch it may fix if not then wait for Nintendo to fix

  • _HotSugar__ Shiloh ⚢ 🏳️‍⚧️ (@_HotSugar__) reported

    @UsagiCola opposite problem of nintendo youtubers i mean

  • umsirwyd chris (@umsirwyd) reported

    @_WECKLESS @itsmeagain442 @GenXGamer22 It is but it’s also a Microsoft problem with the Series X, and a Nintendo problem with the Switch OLED. There’s a huge lack of chips so it’s hard to make more expensive hardware

  • Josh__Choe 조쉬/Josh (@Josh__Choe) reported

    @Virtill I remember nintendo switch has the same problem

  • _snow118 snowtenkey | on a short hiatus ^ ^; (@_snow118) reported

    @UltimaShadowX I find it funny how these games that I wanna play will end service before I could even play it Yes WHY ARE SO MANY NINTENDO MOBILE GAMES NOT AVAILABLE IN THE PHILIPPINES
