Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TuxedoKirby Timbo303Official (@TuxedoKirby) reported

    @MojangStatus Please fix the my content on marketplace on nintendo switch it refuses to load

  • mrDonVanDam Donny (@mrDonVanDam) reported

    @CtrlXthroat GameProooooooo although I had a subscription to Official PlayStation Magazine, Nintendo Power, and EGM at times. I wish most of those issues didn’t get lost

  • JonDoyleDesign Jon Doyle (@JonDoyleDesign) reported from Cirencester, England

    @SalarymanDaishi I think we should expect a 70%+ live service model, I don’t expect more than 1 single player game’s out of any studios that aren’t Capcom, PlayStation or Nintendo

  • kwehlua pana 🐌 endwalker waiting room (@kwehlua) reported

    @omnixphobia can you try contacting nintendo customer service?

  • Bungleceratops Dinofuzz posting about DELTARUNE (@Bungleceratops) reported

    @KotalaGod For each of these points While there is unfortunately an issue with a lack of PoC in Nintendo's radar there are absolutely options they could've gone for. Ganondorf is canonically Gerudo and certainly not light skinned. And the DK spirits thing is at the very least ignorant.

  • NepSwirlRedux Straw Hat Spoopy (aka Vonté) (@NepSwirlRedux) reported

    @SubPrincess8 @Katjerrr Sadly Nintendo has been VERY slow with drip feeding even their own games onto the service. I’m still waiting for them to put up Super Mario RPG on the service 😭

  • 5G_Corona Jeffersonian Arborist (@5G_Corona) reported

    Ok I give in. The Xbox cloud gaming service is actually quite good. They are killing Sony and Nintendo in the value per dollar subscription services.

  • ChuckRuckus ChuckRuck (@ChuckRuckus) reported

    @thesharkant So sora defines who he is and not Donald and Goofy. We don't need Donald and Goofy to be in the game and we don't need mickey to be in the game. It would bring tons of copyright issues anyway unless nintendo and Sakurai found a way to bypass that problem

  • JasonFl44316787 Jason Fleming (@JasonFl44316787) reported

    2 days until we find who the last Smash DLC character is! Maybe it's going to be Crash Bandicoot, or Rayman, or some other Nintendo character that hasn't been in Smash yet. Who knows; It will all be revealed in 2 days!

  • Master0fHyrule Master🎃fHalloween (@Master0fHyrule) reported

    If it's a Nintendo Character: 1. Promotional Character, doesn't matter what year of release 2. No big event needed 3. Isn't a mii fighter So, this eliminates Sora, Crash, Rayman, etc But it just means the final character will be a Nintendo Character or if I had to guess....

  • AngryAtlantean Atlantean (@AngryAtlantean) reported

    @PhigNewton75 @RAZ0RFIST What's funny about that whole ordeal is the fact that it was already a self-policing issue. Nintendo had their quality check and guidelines, and SEGA had implemented a rudimentary rating system itself well before then. At least here in the states.

  • LillyLiliaceae ||🎃🍭||~Spooky Lilly Liliaceae~||🍬👻|| (@LillyLiliaceae) reported

    @vjw2005 It’s content, the roster is unappealing- mainly because I don’t find the selling point “Everyone is here” very intriguing- it’s more messy then anything Then again most Switch games suffer from annoying gimmicks and lack of content so it’s prolly just a in house Nintendo issue

  • CaptnPickle CaptnPickle 🍕🏴‍☠️🎮 (@CaptnPickle) reported

    Hey @Elgato I'm having this strange issue with my HD60. When I start up the Game Capture Software or OBS the capture card doesn't receive a signal from my Nintendo Switch unless I undock and re-dock my Nintendo Switch. This normal? If not, how do I fix it?

  • LucasGnagy Lucas Gnagy (@LucasGnagy) reported

    @McTroid @SmashBrosJP Likely a translation error. Good for you for wanting Dante, I’m not trying to crush that dream. I’m only saying that because when has Nintendo purposely said hell in a piece of promotional material?

  • Sylvie_124 Sylvie 🏳️‍⚧️ (@Sylvie_124) reported

    @kirathetechie @ThisIsMemeboi it's honestly sad Nintendo instead of acknowledging a widespread issue is just pretending like the issue doesn't exist and selling the exact same joy con design and not even attempting to fix it. they'll fix or replace your broken joy con but it will just drift again

  • TheBrokeMessiah The Broke Messiah (@TheBrokeMessiah) reported

    @Puertorock77_ @Donnell52974551 True but I’m saying that if Sony/Nintendo could get similar profits without the need for hardware they wouldn’t put out hardware. Sony already dabbles in cloud and the only reason they aren’t doing a game pass service is they can’t afford to maintain it but they would otherwise

  • Kirbymonsta1 McSpookyMcMonsta (@Kirbymonsta1) reported

    I am tired of this my mom knows that my switch is broke now and she said she might pay a guy to fix it she gotta not send it to Nintendo bc l crack the Nintendo switch case a bit and it comes to 99 dollars and it too much money for her😫😭

  • CliCliW Foul Wretch 😁🎃 (@CliCliW) reported

    @LillyTensei It's very hard to judge playtime honestly but I'd imagine I've put enough time into it that I'm hitting the 300hour mark alright. I wouldn't mind but I've had two Nintendo Switches and have had zero issues with drift 😓

  • NovaCord1 NovaCord (@NovaCord1) reported

    If Nintendo is smart, the Mario movie will be a nice and simple good vs. evil thing without any complex moral problems. Mario just really isn’t made for that. It’s completely fine if the movie is predictable.

  • CoolNerdSymptom Poverty Fixing, Data Driven, and MLK Backed UBI (@CoolNerdSymptom) reported

    @BrainyKong @elliotduby oh i know about what happened, but she should have been in melee. Its ashame how awesome of a timeline for smash this would be if crunch and time wasn't an issue at Nintendo regarding smash.

  • NyneOg OG_NYNE (@NyneOg) reported

    @PlayStation the worst ******* gaming company... Now I see why people are defecting to Microsoft and Nintendo... You do a update and Mess up every single 2k22 players login etc. Please do everyone a favor and delete you wack *** company

  • JSantos_1992 Jacob “Santoski” Santos (@JSantos_1992) reported from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

    @NintendoAmerica @SEGA It might be a long shot, but if Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie released on the sega genesis online for the online service, I’d love you forever

  • sirrelkinstein Sir Relkinstein (@sirrelkinstein) reported

    Gonna be honest here but I don’t think there is anything wrong with Nintendo’s net code, the only reason lag happens is because usually someone in a lobby just doesn’t have good internet, maybe I’m just getting lucky?

  • panda_brady 🐼💀🎉PandaScary VA🐼💀🎉 (@panda_brady) reported

    @elliotduby There are just so many characters that we could get for this, I don't know whom to choose. I know I want Sora, I want Crash, Spyro, Chief, etc. But I feel like the 2 likeliest are Sora (due to popularity and possible ties to a future release on Nintendo) and Doom Slayer (FPS Rep)

  • GunDonge **** Lee (@GunDonge) reported

    @ThatAnimeMan @MeesterTweester @Nickelodeon Nah, Nintendo have been trying to shut down the competitive scene since before the internet was big enough for scandals to happen. Also, Nintendo never had a problem with the scene with the scandals

  • cloudnine987 Ethan (Commissions OPEN!) (@cloudnine987) reported

    @0Scuttler ty! I have deleted my save file and reported the glitch to Nintendo

  • Simp4Unikitty 🎃Unikitty Lover🎃 (@Simp4Unikitty) reported

    Let me tell you something real quick, okay? If Crash doesn't make it into Smash, then 1 thing is for sure... Nintendo's gone one hell of a chip on their shoulder and just can't let go of a grudge. #Crash4Smash

  • TheVideoJames James Baker (@TheVideoJames) reported

    @NintendoAmerica so I know it's nothing new BUT omg do games on the switch run like *** on a hot summer day. Ori is force closing every hour other games lag, please please please upgrade your hardware ill pay for it just do something

  • mawsomepossum bungie give void hunters blink pls (@mawsomepossum) reported
