Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Vegabond85 John Kelley (@Vegabond85) reported

    @xXBabocraftLPXx @NikoMueller @ThatGenericEric Anti-consumer is Nintendo releasing a broken game in one of the most popular franchises in the world.

  • realdewzy Dewzy (@realdewzy) reported

    @JDXtractNPC @NintendoUK They didn't add Hammer Bro because he was broken in Charged and they're afraid of his raw power.

  • silvoom silvoom (@silvoom) reported

    @DynamoSuperX Nintendo's really bad at the live-service thing, considering they almost never support any game they make for more than a year, even if they could (or should).

  • chaseholton Recusant Holton (@chaseholton) reported

    @PaulTassi @Forbes Xbox has competed in the past and been successful. The difference now is that they don’t put out games of the same quality as PlayStation. Or even Nintendo at this point. This is a them problem. No one is getting in their way but themselves.

  • Purgatorrie Purgatorrie (@Purgatorrie) reported

    I should be able to return and get a refund for #PokemonViolet It is so broken and unenjoyable. Absolutely astonished at how little Game Freak and Nintendo seem to care. I'm done trying to find the fun in a game that can't even save properly.

  • G_ROCK1021 G-ROCK1021.EXE🎮👟 (@G_ROCK1021) reported

    @babano22 That spin off is trash especially considering the technical issues with Bayo 3. That price is absolutely ******* garbage. But I’ll say this I hope Nintendo acquired platinum because I don’t ever wanna see nintendos name attached to nothing like bayo3 tech wise again. Fix that

  • PownicMania5000 PownicMania (4 Days 🎂) (@PownicMania5000) reported

    @SkyloftSword It's funny how the big problem with these games is Nintendo giving up on them way too quickly yet people don't want them to continue with this game 💀

  • Coyote4MVS Wile E. Coyote for Multiversus (@Coyote4MVS) reported

    @ChizPlays @DynamoSuperX I feel like they're adding stuff that should have been in the base game. That's the big problem I have with Nintendo's obsession with "free updates".

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

    @TAHK0 I do hope they do. I kinda hoped for Koizumi as the new face of the company, after the Illusionist show he did in the Switch presentation. However, I'm fearing the "Nintendo as a brand" being the voice of the company going for a long time, and I don't know if they'll fix* it.

  • TheBarrylad Barry (Christmas Fan) (@TheBarrylad) reported

    Not nearly as broken as other Switch games this year, but Splatoon 3 is pretty chuggy in parts and has a lot of pop in. Pretty weird to be in this era where Nintendo first party stuff is so reliably unpolished.

  • TravelerSean Sean the Traveler (@TravelerSean) reported

    nintendo store not logging properly to allow purchases, anyone else have this issue?

  • Yoshils Yoshils the Holiday Nerd 🏳️‍🌈 (@Yoshils) reported

    @Trav_CeeJay Daisy and Bowser Jr should of been there at the start. Even Diddy Kong could of been at the start. Just such a lack of disconnect from Nintendo on these games. Mario Party, Golf, Strikers...they all suffer from the same issues.

  • ButtHurtNbeyond Mr.SaltySalt (@ButtHurtNbeyond) reported

    @Ollywhite97 @SixersOctavian sony/nintendo/microsoft have never really mixed their stuff which would be great for all gamers, but cut profits and could be giving their sells to competitors but games like cuphead and others that made it all over are great examples of it being worth the trouble to try

  • kawaii_omo KawaiiOmo💕JFF: $7.00/month (@kawaii_omo) reported

    @NintendoAmerica THATS THE LAST FREE UPDATE!? you release another unfinished game add a few new characters (even though that wasn't even the problem) and then call it good? WTF I'm never buying a Mario sports game again! I remember back on the GameCube the Mario sports games were actually good😭

  • Unkoman_KR Kamen Reader 🔞 (@Unkoman_KR) reported

    @MariohazardX And I don't recommend you play it before it's fixed but then again the first 1Go patch Nintendo released seem to only fix a music glitch so it's gonna take some time. You're better off with the previous games

  • G_ROCK1021 G-ROCK1021.EXE🎮👟 (@G_ROCK1021) reported

    @babano22 Bayo3 just technically is a mess bro. I don’t like to force myself through games with tech issues.I know Nintendo is better than that. But I do think Nintendo needs to snag them and make sure this doesn’t happen lol.

  • Alejand29467745 Alejandro (@Alejand29467745) reported

    @EpicGamesPub @alanwake Fix it in Nintendo switch

  • tormentadeswag1 tormentadeswag (@tormentadeswag1) reported

    @dashingpeach @ssbmhax Seems like a regurgitated point made to slander. Like the whole idea is that it's stealth. If people abuse that to secretly put it on set ups, instead of the intended purpose of TOs running it without Nintendo noticing, then that's a player base issue.

  • UnfazedWil ***** (@UnfazedWil) reported

    @PrimeTimeDanger @Colteastwood They get to not do anything for years game wise but buy a bunch of already existing IPs… then pat themselves on the back ..while Sony and Nintendo have became successful by actually taking risk .. through trial and error… no company should be able to buy everything out

  • babano22 Dany (@babano22) reported

    @G_ROCK1021 Have you watched the recent What Happened video on Bayonetta 3? The old director of Bayo 3 wanted the game more open world, he left back in 2019-2020, and Nintendo said to P* that it would be better to be more liniar, problem was P* mismanagement and lack of direction lol

  • Mbp_____ Kade (@Mbp_____) reported

    @Danguelo @NintendoAmerica I'm glad some people still enjoy the game so these updates at least aren't completely wasted, still, this game should have gotten the support before release. And even now they add nothing substantial to the game. New characters won't fix the lack of creativity.

  • AlanArtist28 Alan V "Ascended Vision Designs" (@AlanArtist28) reported

    @EnderLiliesGame I bought a physical edition of Ender Lillies for Switch, but when I try to get gold points for the game i get an error code that says You cannot collect My Nintendo points for this software yet." can you fix this please?

  • zerkichi zerum⁷ judgement cut sfx⁸ (@zerkichi) reported

    @NintendoUK THIS DOESNT EVEN ADDRESS ANY OF THE GAMES ISSUES WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK

  • MarioDiamondYT MarioDiamond (Luigi Nerd) (@MarioDiamondYT) reported

    @Baconator2558 @NintendoUK Probably cause the time it released. Not being in covid, didn’t have the issues the other 2 had. Plus from what I heard, the other two had development issues and strikers specifically, most were new people who haven’t made a strikers game before.

  • WillJfern Will (@WillJfern) reported

    @I_AM_WILDCAT That's not true. Try play other games that not Mp like Cod or broken like pokemon. Like Red dead or most Sony and nintendo main Sp games.

  • sx_bluess sx_bluess (@sx_bluess) reported

    NINTENDO FIX YOUR GOD DAMN SERVERS

  • shren_p Shren (@shren_p) reported

    @LaurenWalshArt Not only is this a bad idea but Disney and Nintendo images are ALREADY in the dataset. The last thing we need is billion dollar corporations dictating what kind of art we can make. AI art isn’t going away it will be more productive to focus on the root issue: capitalism

  • Monkey2Bubble Bubbles (they/he) ⚢ 🏳️‍⚧️🐀 (@Monkey2Bubble) reported

    nintendo should have changed wahoo world atleast a little bit, make it so theres big chunks of the walls or something with bites or just broken. give us some consiquences of big run.

  • SnoodFN XSET Snood (@SnoodFN) reported

    I think I have 40 disconnect losses from playing ranked on nintendo switch, I wish it was on pc so bad

  • ArPranky ArPranKy (@ArPranky) reported

    Just realized that when ps took over cod that’s when the series went to ****, they pulled cod off Nintendo, the next few cods afterwards were the worse in the series history, exo suits and micro transactions…in my opinion I just think ms is trying to fix some of these issues
