Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 176 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • belowavg_otaku Markass Brownlee (@belowavg_otaku) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix N64 emulation on switch, I paid $50 for an emulator that runs worse than the wide variety of free emulators on PC.

  • eliascrowe_ Elias Crowe (@eliascrowe_) reported

    @SolidRoar @EmilyRogersBlog True. Especially the emu. problems. I just hope Nintendo will keep the service from now on and build on it instead of starting a new experiment with the successor. It could eventually turn into something great.

  • opwnusprime Tore ( still hasnt watched encanto) (@opwnusprime) reported

    @NoStrife @PaulTassi @Forbes Thats kinda the problem tho. With nintendo as a whole. I bought monster hunter stories 2 and that game chuuuuuugs and is so framy on switch. Everyone just gives nintendo a pass on how their games look. Yes they are fun. But there should also be a standard and theyre a gen behind

  • mikestinctively Robots Androids & Cyborgs - 🌠 (@mikestinctively) reported

    @NintendoAmerica UPDATE MARIO MAKER 2!!!!!!!!!!! Make the "BOO" option actually get rid of the horrible levels in Multiplayer mode, there's so much trash there! Let's work on the connection issues too while we're at it.

  • senrak_ milkman (@senrak_) reported

    @Joli_mations @NintendoAmerica At one point due to a price error yeah. Came with the dlc too

  • Puppiemaster Jerry L'Estrange (@Puppiemaster) reported

    @serrjn First World fanboy problem, its not even a problem, Nintendo have already won this gen with 10 year old hardware

  • SpicyJeremiahAC Steph (Jeremiah 🐸) (@SpicyJeremiahAC) reported

    @ACNH_Maple Have you restarted the game? Like switch games and go back. Other wise I would report the glitch to Nintendo’s support

  • flower_hawk snek d poss (@flower_hawk) reported

    @DirtyBilgeRat @RogueSpyke @JimSterling The big problem with your comparison there is that Nintendo themselves aren’t selling at scalped prices, so they’re not making any of the scalped profit.

  • SOLUNA_KNIGHT Soluna Knight (@SOLUNA_KNIGHT) reported

    @NintendoUK Was expecting something a bit more special or even an amiibo reveal/pack in edition. Will continue to buy my games from GAME as you get a much better reward/points service than Nintendo 🙃🙃🙃

  • CANCWR Da Ghost Of LameSwami😱 (@CANCWR) reported

    Somebody DM they @hulu login🥺 I need it on my Nintendo Switch😭 Or @Funimation

  • Das_Hans Hans von Schröder (@Das_Hans) reported

    So, Nintendo, one of the reasons people bought that snes and nes mini, was the fine tuned responsiveness and playing games on official hardware. So why do you banish all N64 games to a laggy streaming service. Sure, one day you won’t care anymore, but not today.

  • prjpro prjpro (@prjpro) reported

    @verynetwork I have a problem with my Nintendo Switch, but I cannot find any way to contact customer service other than the telephone. Is there any other way to report an issue?

  • dennysaurusexe dennysaurus 🦕🐧 (@dennysaurusexe) reported

    I may have fixed the capture card problem So I might be able to stream nintendo games Still no genshin or valo or minecraft tho I'll test the capture card on the weekend

  • GoldeneyeJedi Michael Patrick (@GoldeneyeJedi) reported

    @NintendoAmerica can you please patch #LegendOfZelda Ocarina of Time on N64 Online to correct the severe input lag!??? It’s borderline unplayable

  • Primal6587 Primal (@Primal6587) reported

    I'll be honest, the Nintendo Eshop is the worst feature on the switch. Sure the Wii U and the 3ds could take a long time to load theirs but at least they don't lag out and hang every 2 seconds. If they look for features to improve on I hope their storefront is top of the list.

  • hlvsthk halee || twerk era (@hlvsthk) reported

    @dream_renat00 I don't have nintendo po, broken ***** po aq

  • Neko__Hoshi Neko Hoshi (@Neko__Hoshi) reported

    @OceansHeartgame @Nintendo Hopefully you guys fix the little glitch of pulling a chair out of a house and end up on the roof.

  • Raiden8705 Raiden Teoh(雷登) (@Raiden8705) reported

    @helpmeunifi hi there My nintendo switch got connection problem Is that ip issue and can fix this ?

  • GamingSheepy 🏳️‍⚧️ Mogxia 🏳️‍🌈 (@GamingSheepy) reported

    @Joker13z @nintendolife *tries to force someone to buy a service that even most Nintendo fans say is overpriced* "LOL PS5 fanboy"

  • Ecgbryht Trangus (@Ecgbryht) reported

    Is anyone else's cloud saves on @NintendoAmerica Switch not uploading? It just keeps saying "waiting to upload" and gives me an error if I try to start the game (it will still let me play, though).

  • roebruh a4955 (@roebruh) reported

    @GeorgeOD_ Im convinced nintendo is hiring these people so ppl will think ppl only got a problem with stupid nitpicks

  • flower_hawk snek d poss (@flower_hawk) reported

  • pure_pandamonio Pandamoniac (@pure_pandamonio) reported

    @GameStop hey GameStop. Pretty dissatisfied with your guys service. In October, I bought a pre-owner copy of Hidden Objects for the Nintendo switch. The game freezes and can’t even read. I did not purchase a warranty apparently either… why do I need to pay more?

  • Kabula_Queen Bridget (@Kabula_Queen) reported

    @JustmeRclol @NintendoAmerica Kirby Superstar is already on there so I have my favorite game. Though sad that I might lose it in the future if there’s no longer an online service. We’re still a long way away from that but I wish Nintendo would let me keep it.

  • Nors4at281 Nors4at2 (@Nors4at281) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Maybe I'll get these when Nintendo starts putting good games on their online service. Be honest, it sucks and they don't care. The e-shop on the WiiU runs laps around this crap. So, no no no no and no. Also, no.

  • PugHoofGaming Pug Hoof Gaming (Lee) (@PugHoofGaming) reported

    @wrytersview @lilock33 I actually ended up getting this on the advice of Nintendo’s support, after my system was having problems and we had to send it to a service centre.

  • Nintentrovert Aaron Rowe (@Nintentrovert) reported

    @Wishurii @NathanielBandy1 I just meant for Nintendo, specifically, because people are usually taking about it in the context of the Switch's best year. Maybe not Bandy here, though. If we're looking at all platforms, then yeah, 2017 is hard to beat. Also had the Crash N. Sane Trilogy.

  • Dayspreceding Days (@Dayspreceding) reported

    Everyone rolls up to defend nintendo releasing empty field simulator and mad I don't like it, but got nothing to say about actual problems in gaming.

  • johnrolandp14 JR Pamiloza™ (@johnrolandp14) reported

    @imgoldenyt Too bad the service is not Available on my country so I would still stay on my Android and Nintendo Switch.. currently have plans to get a PS4 for now as well.. hahaha
