Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Lanu__ Lanu (@Lanu__) reported

    @UltimaShadowX Nintendo objectively has a skill issue, like yea they are a 100+ years old (boomer af) japanese company run by old people but why don't ANNOUNCE it? Like yea they are slower than a snail to add things, but man just make a simple tweet pointing it out and that's enough.

  • SmmOan Oan_SMM 🛠🇫🇷 (@SmmOan) reported

    Lol they literally stated in the creative blog post that the new galleries currently don't work on Nintendo Switch... Let's wait 6 months before they fix that

  • DerekNeves77 Derek Neves (@DerekNeves77) reported

    @BYoshi715 @Nintendo While I’d like to think that, there’s too much in the game in favor of genericism and against classicism. And even if it were so, doing such a comment while the problem still isn’t fixed and while the only character who has a Toad problem is the villain is still super tone-deaf.

  • TemptedKayak gappy~kun (@TemptedKayak) reported

    @w00t000 @PaleAndGangly @OatmealDome you suck/10 It's not even a good service, $50 for a crusty N64 emulator I can download for free on my phone or computer, but Nintendo barely know how to run the service, so if you want a crappy emulator with that sweet, sweet Nintendo ********* on it, you can pay $50 a month.

  • BigCJohnsun Chris Jayy (@BigCJohnsun) reported

    @9thMRB @Stonethecrowsx No the issue is that the WiiU couldnt handle AAA PS4 and Xbox games and only sold because of Nintendo properties. If exclusives werent a thing, Nintendo would have to compete with the hardware of their competitors and make a stringer console that could run it's own games better.

  • walletshotpso2 WalletShot (@walletshotpso2) reported

    @haide023 @TAHK0 Ya square already put there games back out al over the place, ive owned all the good titles for a long time rereleased, probably why i don't care much for this Nintendo service stuff

  • Armakuni2 Armakuni (@Armakuni2) reported

    @MameHaze I think there is a difference between companies and their approach to archiving games and their digital storefronts. Not everyone is like Nintendo The big issue is a lot of times on physical disc is just a license to download the game I don't think MS is going anywhere soon

  • plscallmekimi the notorious hrt🏳️‍⚧️ gnu/kimb (@plscallmekimi) reported

    @nos5ratu In my 20s my apartment got broken into twice, in my teens my friends car was stolen and they joyrided it and crashed it and took my Nintendo DS lol. This is something you learn from.

  • flyallier Allie Ricketts (@flyallier) reported

    I honestly want a reply from @NintendoAmerica with either a fix for this massive issue or an explanation. I’m ready to hear it.

  • Angelfoxdreamer Not Telling (@Angelfoxdreamer) reported

    @JKeckler_31 @NintendoAmerica Problem with Nintendo is they generally come up with a gameplay idea and fit it to the series. Reason Kid Icarus Upraising exist is because it didn't fit with Star Fox. Nintendo themselves don't really solely develop certain series like Star Fox. Which is the problem part.

  • DerekNeves77 Derek Neves (@DerekNeves77) reported

    @BYoshi715 @Nintendo I’m not asking the good guys to diss them. I’m just asking for one good guy to say they have some issue with a Toad who genuinely does something bad, like the BBQ Toad, while also saying what Olly’s doing is taking things too far.

  • UnfunnyNinJokes Unfunny Nintendo Fan Bot (@UnfunnyNinJokes) reported

    Nintendo during the Wii/Wii U era: You're not supposed to intendo fix it lmao

  • C00LKID69 . (@C00LKID69) reported

    @xyruthem @RapidPilot2 @ShadowFoxArche Yeah and is a full on PC you can do whatever you want with. With free online that works well. Where Nintendo charges money for a dogshit service

  • _astralstar clowns hate tangelos (@_astralstar) reported

    I think the problem is that game freak started off as a pixel studio and now it's 3D lol. All previous 3D pokem/on games were made by Nintendo's in house game developers

  • Px_Master Frank Porter Bridges 📦 (@Px_Master) reported

    @thatoldgamerguy Physical, i understand if you go full digital when your main gaming device is an Xbox or PC, there's no other way in those, but in PS or Nintendo, no thanks, i can keep selling and borrowing without a problem. The "it doesn't come full on the disc" it's false on many cases...

  • Zoe_KennedyLea Zoe Lea (@Zoe_KennedyLea) reported

    @NintendoUK so disappointed with Nintendo, customer service is absolutely terrible! I have not been helped in anyway at all, after all these years of spending money on your products!

  • Pinkboltz (`⊗ᆺ◓´)🎥⚡️ // matching with jose!! (@Pinkboltz) reported

    My joy cons started drifting within the first few months of getting the nintendo switch, the screen started getting scratched on the first month, it’s not broken but rn it has scratches all over, the cheap plastic tv connecting piece stopped working, all the repairs cost about-

  • ShakyShako Shaky (@ShakyShako) reported

    @AyushSinghC @KumarNinya Yeah, no problem with those. I will say there is a region lock for codes, when I Bayonetta 2 it came with Bayonetta 1 as a digital code but it didn’t work for the US account but thankfully Nintendo allows you to change region for your account but at the cost of loosing…..

  • InnitSeejay Voltage Cjay (@InnitSeejay) reported

    Nintendo Just Called Me They Received My 4 Broken Joycons I Sent :/

  • patriotRNusa Jake, BSN, RN. 🇺🇸 (@patriotRNusa) reported

    @CamishaUrie Kids have been sitting and playing video games since atari/nintendo were invented. More so when Playstation/Xbox/Wii became popular and on and on. Never has it been an issue of kids developing DVT’s, and especially not strokes. Was extremely rare. This is gaslighting level 1000

  • DerekNeves77 Derek Neves (@DerekNeves77) reported

    @BYoshi715 @Nintendo With the way the game does things with the Toads and certain problem ones escaping meaningful punishment, though, it creates the twisted moral that the Toads are gospel, and anyone who questions or besmerches them for anything is evil or stupid.

  • SkiaTheGoat Skia (@SkiaTheGoat) reported

    @Bondage_Peach @Aucratic No but you spend your time getting pressed over an art-related fact. Nintendo is a business, the art is marketing, one of the rules of marketing is that an image should be able to be flipped without any issues. Criticism isn't bad, sorry to break it to you

  • iGRUESOME_FGC ST🅿️ | iGRUESOME (@iGRUESOME_FGC) reported

    Aye @CapcomFighters let me be the first one to say you ****** are not Nintendo that **** you pulling ain’t gonna fly. It’s 2022 and fps tourneys are charging 35 per ticket and the player base pays it no problem grass roots T.Os will smooth drop your bum *** game in the trash…

  • DerekNeves77 Derek Neves (@DerekNeves77) reported

    @BYoshi715 @Nintendo And that was back in 2016. By the logic presented, the problem being made public in the game should have been fixed by 2020’s TOK…but it’s still going on. If anything, then all their inclusion is doing is encouraging the devs to not push back against the IP team.

  • randee_charlo Randee charlo (@randee_charlo) reported

    @FortniteStatus They should fix the editing on Nintendo switch lite. I can’t edit at all

  • rewild28 『Oliver』- 🇮🇹 🏳️‍⚧️ 💙💛• SPOILERS (@rewild28) reported

    @Roboticbones A question, since I do not have the Nintendo switch online are the platinum coins only for those who bought the service?

  • UnfunnyNinJokes Unfunny Nintendo Fan Bot (@UnfunnyNinJokes) reported

    Nintendo during the Wii/Wii U era: Me when I find one that really intendo fix it

  • TAHK0 TAHK0 ☕️ (@TAHK0) reported

    not being announced this far into the switch’s lifespan when they’re such a no-brainer, and not being announced during the anniversary or even this year’s pokemon day, makes me think they’ll be included with Nintendo’s online service when they inevitably add game boy

  • SCJacka Sally (@SCJacka) reported

    Anyone I know have experience with drift on a Nintendo Switch Lite? Like I know it’s usually a joycon issue and they’ll replace those but since they’re built into the Lite idk how to go about getting it fixed. Internet researching has yielded mixed answers

  • Pinkboltz (`⊗ᆺ◓´)🎥⚡️ // matching with jose!! (@Pinkboltz) reported

    Pokemon??? Has a cartoony style??? BECAUSE IT’S A KIDS GAME??????? Why do u want it to have hyper realistic ultra 4k hd graphics?? Talk about actual issues that needs to be solved about nintendo not this **** bro💀
