Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • rageinthemist RageInTheMist (@rageinthemist) reported

    @hololive_En @NintendoAmerica @Disney Note to the one random person who will come across this and not already know what's going on, the devs have done this in response to people changing the characters they have made (some of them having up towards 2m+ interactions) to protest issues on the site.

  • MLa_timer Michael Latimer (@MLa_timer) reported

    @littleluca_ Is it drifting? It s very common in switch controllers. Nintendo can fix it and usually for free but just takes a couple weeks. It’s one of the reasons why I bought a pro controller

  • themightymrpink Mr. Pink (@themightymrpink) reported

    @IntroSpecktive I really hope Nintendo has learned their lesson from the failure of Switch Sports and Mario Strikers: Battle League, and doesn’t fumble the bag for this game. The fix-it-later model hasn’t done any favors for these sports games.

  • Victoreee_xo Victoria Bowers🧜🏻‍♀️ (@Victoreee_xo) reported

    Anyone else’s @NintendoUK store on their Switch not working? I’ve been trying to buy Unpacking for days now and I just get error messages 😭😭😭😭

  • Happy_MamaBee Happy_MamaBee (@Happy_MamaBee) reported

    @Kitten0fDoom @HiRezLiah I'm most excited for Hi-Rez to fix their game on Nintendo Switch where the game isn't crashing every to every other game and giving me deserter penalties. 🙃

  • Nationverse8472 A-Nationverse8472 (@Nationverse8472) reported

    @RRaccoon24 I really hope that Crash Team Rumble comes to Nintendo Switch. It will come eventually. No word if Toys for Bob is planning to bring Crash Team Rumble to Switch and PC.

  • loafYT28 Ari-Kiwi 🥝 (@loafYT28) reported

    @Blossomie4 Yeah agree with all that said buuuuuut if I'm a uk **** I'm not spending money on a VPN and an HBO Max subscription, **** that, release it on DVD if you're not gonna make it accessible. If I have to get my episodes of clone high, the same way I get Nintendo music, not my problem.

  • Kami5444 🐢Kami🐢 (@Kami5444) reported

    @TractusB @GifZelda "none of us get it" no we completely get it. There's games that have the weapon break mechanics like dying light and dead island. But they last WAY longer and guess what you can do in dying light? Repair broken weapons up to three times 😱 something Nintendo can learn from.

  • ben_zumalt ben_zumalt (@ben_zumalt) reported

    @bethesda tell me how ******** a single dlc is able to ruin a game on the nintendo switch get on fixing skyrim or refund all the base game and dlc price. All it does is glitch and crash now and it didnt until they released the 10th anniversary edition.

  • I_turru Ignacio (@I_turru) reported

    @NintendoLatam @NintendoAmerica @Nintendo need to fix this input delay mod for Smash Bros. Ultimate ASAP. It is becoming annoying AF.

  • ReflectedMantis Zachary (@ReflectedMantis) reported

    Idk if this is a hot take or not, but Splatoon 3 should not be assigning losses for players who disconnect until Nintendo does something about the game's god-awful netcode. How is this game almost 5 months old now and the quality of online gameplay hasn't improved a bit? I'm...

  • Thefantasylife8 +The Fantasy life (@Thefantasylife8) reported

    @EucerinOfficial Nintendo doesn’t know what the fans want so they should hire fans to fix the franchise smh. Hire the people who make fan games! Hire this man!

  • ScremingChickn Screaming Chicken (@ScremingChickn) reported

    @awesome5673 @ChoctopusYT Is Nintendo able to make the games without them or are there copyright issues?

  • Erni3_M E.Maldonado 𝐼𝐼𝐼 (@Erni3_M) reported

    @Galaxt1ka @GenshinImpact @PlayStation Playstation don't give **** back. I love PS but not their CS. Xbox & Nintendo clears PS 'S NON-EXISTENT Customer Service. Sorry for your trouble.

  • gamingmeanie boxermate (@gamingmeanie) reported

    @SmashJT why would u even have that opinion? Also, why wouldn't Nintendo just say it wasn't ready? They've never had a problem telling us a game wasn't ready before lol

  • DarkPaladin333 ali (@DarkPaladin333) reported

    @WalletInspecto4 @So_Darn_Tired @PostUp_bbb Nvidia's concern is not the win Sony fans think it is. Nvidia probably wants one of those 10 year deals for COD for their Gforce Now service. If they make a deal with Microsoft,then they will be all in on the deal just like Nintendo.

  • bhennrich Brent Hennrich 💯PRO CHOICE! (@bhennrich) reported

    Does anyone know what is going on with @NintendoAmerica's network. None of my kids #Switch's are able to connect. We just now noticed it. I can't find anything about an outage or when they think it will be back online.

  • bigwows Bigwows is elsewhere too (🦣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿)💚🤍💜 (@bigwows) reported

    @NintendoUK Do you reply to customers re issues here or do you just plug your products?

  • FZRBrawler FZRBrawler ⬛️⬜️🟪 (@FZRBrawler) reported

    @TheSmashToons I think part of it is that it's starting to have some overlap into being a live service kind of game where they want you playing every day. It's not nearly as severe, but people drop it and don't really keep interest as a result now that it's in so many nintendo games.

    @BaamZahard2020 @LangsNerd @XcloudTimdog The only MS acquisition I have a real problem with is ABK, because they didn’t help build any of those IP’s. They’re buying something already built up independently. Which is pretty much what they did back in the day when they bought Rare, then a primary Nintendo developer.

  • Laserunite Laser (@Laserunite) reported

    @Kaphotics I'm so glad people are finally speaking up about this issue. This is why I refuse to participate in Pokémon events. So much cheating.... I hope it ends soon, this is ridiculous. Nintendo do something...

  • PiranhaPlant22 PiranhaPlant (@PiranhaPlant22) reported

    @Nintendeal My order from the Nintendo website arrived today. They did a really bad job packing it. The Sephiroth amiibo box is damaged and the Fire Emblem Engage Divine Edition has a lot of dents in various places and the stickers are broken open on the top and the bottom.

  • kjseo Kevin Seo (@kjseo) reported

    @BaamZahard2020 @FuuTop1 @XcloudTimdog Eh Sony and Nintendo have been having a much better 1P output throughout the pandemic tho. Sorry but XGS’s core issues still remain

    @DoorsRoblox Also since this game came out my nintendo controller when its connected to my tablet makes me move slower which wasnt a problem back then but since the new update i am also slower in the seek chase which is very annoying bc i need a cross or 2 vitamins to be able to beat seek

  • mattduffie matt duffie (@mattduffie) reported

    Hey, @NintendoAmerica. My Joy-cons are drifting again. I'm trying to get a repair done but the website says there are "validation errors" that need to be changed but won't tell me what they are. How can I fix this to have my repair processed?

  • Graz_Splat Graz (@Graz_Splat) reported

    @origamigoose_ @Cheeto_27 At least nintendo is aware of the issues but ultimately the only solution is to just kill the root of the problem and stop trying to create solutions around it to try and end it.

    The 49ers are down to the Nintendo 10-Yard Fight playbook by this point. How are they having issues with the play clock?
