Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Trans_nationale Trans☭Nationale (@Trans_nationale) reported

    @CraigSJ @biggestjoel Funny how nintendo did a whole console refresh to get rid of the Nvidia Tegra hack, but can't seem to fix their joycons. Maybe cause the latter makes them money.

  • iminsert rainbow (@iminsert) reported

    @chainchomped_ 1/2) to add to this actually, and sorta state a nintendo thing, something's that good, should solve multiple problems. so like, if we look at clothing, it's; asthedicallyy driven, makes ppl feel secure, makes them generally more appealing to others, keeps them warm/cool, etc etc

  • DavidPinsky9 jeff_ or_ david (@DavidPinsky9) reported

    @OG_StrawBB @CamdenSkousen @SSF1991 No it’s more like they threw out an old fridge but you really like that fridge so you take it home from the dumpster fix it up and make it run better then Nintendo’s new fridge so Nintendo sues you for using “their” fridge #SaveSmash #FreeMelee

  • DakDread DreadNoughty ❄️ (@DakDread) reported

    It’s a very Nintendo move to add another console on the Switch Online pass instead of filing out the Snes one and only dropping 5 GBA games then ghosting the service for 8 months

  • JoeyBTS234 🖤🍂Joey/BLM🍂🖤 (@JoeyBTS234) reported

    @MojangSupport When I go to the servers page on my Nintendo Switch it says "Coming Soon!" and it won't load the marketplace. I've tried logging out of my Microsoft account on Minecraft but nothing happens. How do I fix this and is this because of the migration?

  • AlphaBlood Attack and Dethrone God (@AlphaBlood) reported

    @GenjitsuNezumi @biggestjoel @CraigSJ If the buttons on your controller don't work, you can't really play the games you purchased, right? I'd say that is completely and irredeemably broken. Perhaps even maliciously so, seeing as how you need to pay Nintendo another $60 to get it fixed, I hear.

  • Trans_nationale Trans☭Nationale (@Trans_nationale) reported

    @CraigSJ @biggestjoel But ds4's cost a normal amount of money. I'm not saying the switch was a failure. It's been a resounding success for Nintendo. But, the fact Nintendo STILL refuses to address the joycons issue, while fighting relentlessly against the emulation and hacking community....

  • MarnieCrerar marns (@MarnieCrerar) reported

    @NintendoUK I am deeply unhappy with your customer service in repairs. Please can someone contact me. I have emailed but I am not getting a satisfactory response.

  • brendan_mystic what BrenZMystic10 said (@brendan_mystic) reported

    @FallGuysGame How to fix Fall Guys: - remove the game from Nintendo Switch (don't need it) - make it cost $200 not $20 that's way too cheap - add Elon Musk and Big Chungus to the game or I cry - EA should own the game - remove game from steam console gang rise Plz don't hate it's my opinion

  • 3Keyhole Keyhole number 3 (@3Keyhole) reported

    @biggestjoel Bro it's okay they released a version of it that's cheaper but still has the same problems and it's actually impossible to take the joycons off so you gotta send the whole thing in to fix it. It's also fundamentally not worth its price but who cares Nintendo made MY CHILDHOOD.

  • RandomName256 May (@RandomName256) reported

    @WillNintendoGuy @GameTheoryRejct There's a reason why we've hardly seen any new roms added to the service this year, and that's because Nintendo knows that there's no point in adding many more. Just hold off on the remaining few games they have set to release already and drip feed them out.

  • RythmChrisOsu Kurisu. (@RythmChrisOsu) reported

    @Steven235894762 @NintendoAmerica GENERAL INEXCUSABLE DIRECT THIS TUESDAY!?!?!?!? I'LL BE WAITING. What it will have!? AAA Exclusives Games ANNOUNCEMENTS? Improvements? Any updates about the LITERAL INEXCUSABLE Nes/Snes Online forgotten never updated service?

  • ATRociousFuBear Ande (BLM) 🐻⛰️ (@ATRociousFuBear) reported

    Literally how hard is it for Nintendo to just use **** that's already existed as a solution to problems they manufacture? It runs on Android which already has screen sharing to TV's, Bluetooth for headsets to listen to game audio and party chat simultaneously, and fast charging.

    @saycheeselouise Oh my god I was so jealous of my friends who had a ps1 and/or a Nintendo, crash teaming racing was the bestest game ever

  • Nintoforgi Ray (@Nintoforgi) reported

    @allmydads I find it so hard to believe that they’d put any of them up moments before putting up a much worse FE for sale but I don’t know what all else Nintendo games they could put on the service anyway lol

    @That1KidBen @NintendoAmerica I will admit, Nintendo does have its faults. But the community is extremely toxic and in no way helps NIntendo fix those faults. I still stand by this.

  • Lenxaid The Big Gay (@Lenxaid) reported

    @Kurtkeey @NintendoAmerica It does have items. Why should a company that hasn't sold said game in about 15 years still C&Ding tournaments for it? Also this isn't just an issue with Melee, the Big House Ultimate tournament was also shut down.

  • K_Falcon0 肥料 | K. Falcon (@K_Falcon0) reported

    I really do hope nintendo goes back to having a free online service because I don't wanna keep wasting 20 bucks on a laggy connection every time.

  • DB9MAT Mathis Schmieder (@DB9MAT) reported

    @arturo182 @kbeckmann The battery connector definitely is a problem, as it seems to be a Nintendo specific part again. There are spares on AliExpress and we could reverse engineer the pinout, or we could solder a new connector to the battery...

  • ngyesplatoon ngyes (@ngyesplatoon) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I don’t mind if people play fortnite and genuinely enjoy it. The only problem I have is with the underaged and ******* part of the community. The people who rage at the game and get too obsessed with it are annoying. If you like fortnite, don’t let others stop you from playing it

  • Cut4JRex J-Rex (@Cut4JRex) reported

    age of calamity is a terrible game because i don't get to play as agitha or tingle what ******** nintendo fix this garbage

  • TheGunz77 Gunz (@TheGunz77) reported

    @NintendoAmerica None. My switch is a lost cause I won't pay to fix or replace. Just sitting here waiting for PS5s to come back in stock. Got a backlog to catch up on on the Sony side anyway.

  • _Jacktivision_ Jacktivision (@_Jacktivision_) reported

    Nintendo Switch Online is lazy. Table scraps of NES and SNES games is lazy. No N64, GameCube, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance in the online service is lazy. I love Nintendo a lot man, but they really need to step it up with their Switch “virtual console” offerings.

  • OversizedHo0dyz The Second Bee Movie (@OversizedHo0dyz) reported

    @NintendoHater1 @NintendoAmerica ***** you post the same aLl SmasH FAnS are PeDOs bullshit on sakuria's posts. Your account is just a failed attempt at a gimmick account with your broken record *** posts. Go get a job instead of being some looser who's only purpose on Twitter is to **** on a video game comapny.

    @NintendoAmerica @FortniteGame If only @EpicGames could fix the physics issues on #fortnite #NintendoSwitch version...

  • SquishTheFiish Squish_The_Fish (@SquishTheFiish) reported

    @NerdNamedJerry It's good, but not the best, the problem is that Nintendo doesn't care about it, the wifi netcode is so bad for most games, a lot of games are just kinda bad, but I still like it, cause it has some pretty fire games as well, just wish they cared about it more

  • RandomName256 May (@RandomName256) reported

    @WillNintendoGuy @GameTheoryRejct I doubt we'll get any more consoles. Nintendo was adding games to justify the price of their empty service. Now they have enough to justify said price. If they continue pumping out games without upping the cost it'll likely result in diminishing returns.
