Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Xpgamer11 Xpgamer (@Xpgamer11) reported

    @FallGuysGame At this point might as well consider removing the game from Xbox, PS and Nintendo stores, considering the state of this broken game.

  • AmyL_IoM Autumnal Amy 🎃 🍁 (@AmyL_IoM) reported

    I know there are far greater problems facing the world right now but my Nintendo Switch wont charge and I need to send it for repair and I’m very sad because that’s my daily escapism from this shitshow.

  • TimotheYoung Timothe Young (@TimotheYoung) reported

    @AceOcarinas The only reason I blame your luck is purely because I don’t have these problems, I stay on my pc (because of emulation) and the oldest console I still play is my Nintendo Switch. (I do wish I could play my actual GameCube again but that’s neither here nor there, Dolphin is fine)

  • Dolores_Ent Dolores Entertainment #Indigo7 #インディゴ7 (@Dolores_Ent) reported

    @YAN_COOL_MAG We have been reviewing your problem and the buttons are fine on Nintendo Switch!

  • DavideSpagocci 🎮iTA360.COM Davide Spagocci | Do G💚me NO War💘 (@DavideSpagocci) reported

    Original #PLaystation #xbox #Nintendo controllers all have Drift Problem , reason is internal "Switch\Button" (for thumbstick) soldered in motherboard will usurate then drift problem start,solution it's Modular interchangable switch,so user can change it,but brands not do it = $$

  • MTGCal Cal @ PWP | Ask Me About cEDH! (@MTGCal) reported

    I think I realized I had a problem with collectables right around when I traded in a massive tubs worth of video game chaff to buy a $400 Pikachu N64, my least favorite Nintendo console

  • wondermagenta ziad (@wondermagenta) reported

    @palevioletblue @RoytaMustDie my reasoning is that i don’t expect any of the console manufacturers to abandon whatever technical architecture they currently use (ARM for nintendo, x86 for sony/microsoft) doubt they have much incentive to go back to something more specialized since it’ll only cause problems

  • DavideSpagocci 🎮iTA360.COM Davide Spagocci | Do G💚me NO War💘 (@DavideSpagocci) reported

    @wmvnotmp4 @NintenDaan Original PLaystation,xbox,Nintendo controllers all have Drift Problem , problem is they have internal "Switch\Button" (for thumbstick) soldered in the motherboard ,when it usurate then drift problem start,solution it's make a Modular interchangable switch,so user can change it.

    @twobigguys nintendo why cant hammer throw destroy every special I promise it will not make it broken

  • CarBleeder CarBleeder 🏳️‍⚧️ (|) (@CarBleeder) reported

    @bontesticle My pro controller has to be plugged up 24/7 Wii disc drive broke Gamecube disc reader broke I could name a million more issues I’ve had with nintendo but I’ll stop it here for now

  • jordanceasar2 Jordan Ceasar 🌐 (@jordanceasar2) reported

    @justintrouble22 @klobrille PC players don't have to pay **** in order to play online why should console players a lot of people forget that Microsoft was the first to create online service gaming and Sony and Nintendo follow suit & if Microsoft destroyed the they created we would live in the best timeline

  • tumult cancel/tumult (@tumult) reported

    @c_roc No, the problem is Nintendo using P2P networking so they can just pocket the money they are ostensibly charging to pay for their online infrastructure.

  • San_Diego_Man Danny Loya (@San_Diego_Man) reported

    @RE_Games @CapcomUSA_ So why do you guys continue to leave Nintendo out? Resident Evil has been with Nintendo since the very first game. Nintendo is very popular, and their sales are very good. So what's the problem? Don't make cloud versions out of these games. I want a physical game card. PLEASE 🥺

  • Tanqcito Tanquecito❤️ (@Tanqcito) reported

    lmao people having too much confidence in nintendo doing things to fix splat 3 as if they still weren't literal boomers poking at a windows 98 computer with a stick😭

  • andredelaney Andre (@andredelaney) reported

    @Shadow2841 @SanArtNooks @NintendoAmerica No, your attitude and name calling was the issue and you are still at it. Kinda sad and pathetic that you have the audacity to tell others to grow tf up

  • jlawless2690 john lawless (@jlawless2690) reported

    @billdanks83 @NintendoUK Wont let me add to cart there site is so broke and there customer service online chat are crap lol

  • tythadabman TyRetroMan3.6 (@tythadabman) reported

    @YoshiMan1118 So they get a last minute hit after you stamped them???? Yeah Nintendo needs to fix this it's been over a month a little improvement has been made.

  • starsofdaybreak 💫 Aponia’s ******* hair (@starsofdaybreak) reported

    @starry_sys fix ur servers nintendo

  • CarBleeder CarBleeder 🏳️‍⚧️ (|) (@CarBleeder) reported

    @bontesticle I think their consoles and controllers are built terribly. I’ve had more broken Nintendo hardware than any other company.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 457 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • SkuttlerSmash Sol (@SkuttlerSmash) reported

    @SerebiiNet If you're permitted to talk about it, how was the performance? After watching the Nintendo Life video it seems like there's some issues

  • Jconklin789 JConklin (@Jconklin789) reported

    @reed_oc @Gracefulkaos86 @DoWhatYouDo6 Neither sony or Nintendo are obligated to put a competitors service on their hardware. In what world are they the bad guy for telling them to kick rocks? Its not their job to save gp for ms.

  • DededeFran THE ULTIMATE CRINGELORD (@DededeFran) reported

    @somari8591 Not really. Again a lot of Sonics identity stemmed from wanting to create a mascot and be a rival against Nintendo. The modern render itself isn’t the problem, it’s utility is the problem.

  • rgbsushii sushii (@rgbsushii) reported

    NINTENDO FIX YOUR ******* STUPID *** SERVERS

  • blkxltng Reese (@blkxltng) reported

    @SplatoonNA @NintendoAmerica Yesterday I wanted to play Salmon Run in Splat 3 with my sibling. Literally every time it was "time for a job", we'd get a communication error. We tried maybe about 10 times. Resetting the game or the console did NOTHING to help. Had to play Splat 2

  • kuroninneko nin neko (@kuroninneko) reported

    @crss666 I wish nintendo would fix that. Seems like something that would bring a lot more players in.

  • redreaganbird Reagan Corvus (@redreaganbird) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix the button input delays, frame rate drops for F-Zero X, and frame rate problem for Pilotwings 64.

  • MTGCal Cal @ PWP | Ask Me About cEDH! (@MTGCal) reported

    I think I realized I had a problem with collectables right around when I traded in a massive tubs worth of video game chaff to buy a $400 special edition of my least favorite Nintendo console, the N64. the Pikachu is really cute tho

  • Anubis_Cerberus Anubis (@Anubis_Cerberus) reported

    Nintendo, FIx YOUR ******* SERVERS. #Splatoon3 #Serverless

  • Heflito Heflito the VHog🦔-PIXELART COMMS OPEN- {VTuber} (@Heflito) reported

    @p_fritzart @EucerinOfficial That isn't the issue. They were already funding the game. They were against allowing Nintendo characters in the game.
