Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • InkViper CZ-652C-bk (@InkViper) reported

    @BlackSa87753364 From what I remember of The Rumour that was addressed, it basically said sony didn't give a **** about Microsoft, Nintendo was there real issue. The Rumour also stated a separate Monster Hunter title exclusively coming to the switch was also in the Works.

  • Matthew09724010 Matthew Ross (@Matthew09724010) reported

    @NintendoAmerica No one cares, we would've preferred Crash over Sora!

  • InkfishDraws Inkfish (@InkfishDraws) reported

    @RafaTheBeat @NintendoAmerica They can’t be bothered to try and make proper ports of the games switch so they just put out cloud versions which will work due to the nature of the service, but cloud gaming tech is kinda doodoo rn so its probably gonna be a subpar experience anyway

  • somecrappyedits Some-Crappy-Edits (@somecrappyedits) reported

    @JunoLake @JiffyScooters Like Mega Man, Simon Belmont, and Banjo are almost de facto Nintendo reps Plus PlayStation does not have a first party like Nintendo as majority of memorable exclusive titles on PlayStation were third party made. They didn't even own their main guy, Crash lmao.

  • Stockdalius Stockdalius (@Stockdalius) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I wish Spyro Crash and Sly had a chance but I understand Sora....hoping fornless swords though

  • snakerbot snakerbot (@snakerbot) reported

    @DRKLCNS The problem with that is that Nintendo has billions of dollars sitting around. TOs don't. Even if they win, the legal fees themselves could cripple them. Nintendo is throwing their weight around with cases they know they can't win because they also know they won't be challenged.

  • EveryNightJazz Jazzy_Sazzy (@EveryNightJazz) reported

    @KirbonicPikmin WAIT WHAT?That’s the first time I’ve ever seen crash bandicoot four physical on Nintendo switch. It’s no where in the Uk

  • pelican_food pelican food | Cryptocurrency Hate Account™️ (@pelican_food) reported

    @mrfeelswildride It would be really funny if Nintendo/Sakurai did consider a character owned by Activison Blizzard, be it Crash, Spyro, an Overwatch rep, or someone else and then promptly took them out of consideration after the Blitzchung mess

  • ApparentJustice Justice Apparent (@ApparentJustice) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Funny how every Smash reveal is “the worst” when it comes to you guys. To those who wanted Waluigi, Crash, Fortfuck guy, or anything else blatantly ridiculous: SMD AND HOLD THIS L HAHAHAHAHA

  • Wisecup0 wisecup 2.0 (@Wisecup0) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I kinda wonder why crash wasn’t also a mii costume

  • GlitchyReal Nicholas Swenson (@GlitchyReal) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I would by these again, but not as streaming services. I want to *own* a copy, not be licensed to use them for a limited time until the service is terminated.

  • CoolDavid1992 David Jolicoeur (@CoolDavid1992) reported

    @Lolk_OvR @LeoLeoLeoXO @NintendoAmerica Yes for crash, but men dark souls is a bad game and the characters are lame and doomguy don,t deserve to be a character he dosent even got a real name, wanting him in smash its like wanting a call of duty character in smash! Lol

  • MarcAntoineMa13 Marc-Antoine Marcoux (@MarcAntoineMa13) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Again another japanese character from Square Enix. No problem with that but I would have prefer Gilgamesh from Civilization 6 (another franchise not represented but who is one of the classic game) the fact that it's the last DLC also makes it impossible to have new one :(

  • GeauxGeist Papa GeauxGeist (@GeauxGeist) reported

    @Kotaku Copyright issues. No doubt. Disney is second only to Nintendo themselves in protecting their brand. I guarantee the fact that Mario World is a Universal property probably played into this.

  • ndvXWz obedi (@ndvXWz) reported

    @NintendoUK Cloud versions are legitimately scams, do not purchase this. Online only, unknown how long the service will last, extremely laggy, and blurry. There's a reason why every cloud gaming service has failed, and they were on stronger hardware w/ faster internet.

  • betiroval ragdoll (@betiroval) reported

    @luisn2019 @NintendoAmerica As a Crash fan, I am sorry that you people have to put up with this

  • RaxonXVI_ RaxonXVI (@RaxonXVI_) reported

    @Kirby0Louise @RGT_85 @NintendoAmerica You shouldn’t need a pro to run what’s basically 2 ps2 games a ps3 remake of a ps2 game (the lost the source code to 1) a psp game and 2 movies (for 1.5+2.5) then 2.8 has another movie and a 3DS game that also should run no problem honestly…

  • TaiphoonMC taiphoon (@TaiphoonMC) reported from Everett, Washington

    @Deeoderant @NintendoAmerica OH OKAYYY!! Yeah sucks we can't download it but hopefully it can stream without issues

  • fIyproof ً (@fIyproof) reported

    when i tried to fix joy con drift nintendo sent me a picture of me getting in my car

  • MasterCorn1 FunkyManFrank (@MasterCorn1) reported

    Man i was expecting master chef, crash, rayman, something actually significant to video games but no another anime swordfighter damn you and your family nintendo

  • LeBlancWes Wesley DracuLeBlanc (@LeBlancWes) reported

    @chas_mke Right?! Like, there’s no way 1 and 2 (and the rest that come with those two, which other than BBS, also ran on older Nintendo consoles) can’t run on a Switch! I get 3 not working on it but the rest? Wild haha

  • CrowParadeLLC Crow (@CrowParadeLLC) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Nah. We wanted crash though.

  • WadeSilverShow Wade Silver (@WadeSilverShow) reported

    I also really wish companies that know their characters are anticipated but not coming would just tell us that instead of stringing us along for no reason. Nintendo doing that is one thing but Crash as a franchise gained nothing from letting us go wild with hope…

  • 8_BitGirl Kayleigh ✨ (@8_BitGirl) reported

    @AbroadInJapan Ended up on a deep dive of this guys articles on Nintendo Power and this isn’t the only time he’s done something like this. So many errors littered in these articles 😬

  • RedlineSSB based and roypilled (@RedlineSSB) reported

    @M0hairSam @soup_liker This is only half true. Nintendo offers eShop refunds for publicized technical issues as well, like Sonic Colors Ultimate. They just don't publicize it.

  • NintyPrime Nintendo Prime (@NintyPrime) reported

    It’s neat watching my dock tear down get shared around. This is my PSA reminder to fellow content creators to properly source your videos in the description. I won’t call anyone out specifically, but it’s still a widespread problem. Imagine if Nintendo Life didn’t link to sources

  • MeltedBanana2 MeltedBanana2 (@MeltedBanana2) reported

    how to anger nintendo twitter step 1: post an image of a broken switch or joycon that you didnt make and everybody has already seen step 2: pretend to be incredibly upset and mad about a smash bros character or smth, make sure to be very dramatic step 3: receive death threats

  • cloked Crusty Bonebags (@cloked) reported

    @JazRignall I do remember buying this issue, I bought all of the Mean Machines I think, even when it split into Sega/Nintendo!

  • letcreate123 letcreate (bruh) (@letcreate123) reported

    My biggest issue when going to buy games on Nintendo Switch is that sometimes I'll find a game I really like, then find out the PC version is at half the price. The added portability doesn't really justify the price hike for me either.

    @NintendoAmerica My switch dock came broken out of box and nintendo is refusing to repair it
