Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TethisX TethisX - Jeff Eaton (@TethisX) reported

    @Von_Dred @MacRendar @HazzadorGamin All existing and future contracts under the Activision Blizzard will be honored even the few regions where Activision Blizzard distributes Nintendo Products for Nintendo where Nintendo lacks the means to distribute. The only way this deal goes south is if Promises are broken.

  • loganhallfin Logan Hallfin (@loganhallfin) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @XSEEDGames What a flop. Stardew Valley has sold 15 millions copies. This will probably sell 1 million in Japan and like 200k in the states because of the performance issues and how bland and empty the game world is. Cannot figure out how you come to release a game in this state.

  • Tracer14nc Sour Patch Kid (@Tracer14nc) reported

    @PlayerEssence MP4 is also the exception and not the rule for Nintendo. Microsoft seems to be having problems getting several other games out the door. Almost everything from that big 2020 showcase has had significant development issues.

  • zero_the_clown papahefe 💀 (@zero_the_clown) reported

    @FarrierTheFirst PS3 for sure. Played Demon's Souls and liked it, tried Uncharted and thought it was ok, played some third party and when Mortal Kombat 9 came out and the PSN month+ outage happened I packed it up sold it off and never looked back aha Xbox and Nintendo for me

  • tchtch033 🕯️❤️❤️ (@tchtch033) reported

    @Chuuya21356384 @thatskygame sorry to hear that :( have you tried linking your account besides email(like facebook or nintendo account) to log in with the second device? I often use different device but never had this issue

  • CuriousGuy__ Un Anarquista pelotudo Ⓐ 🏴 (@CuriousGuy__) reported

    I'm probably going to sound like a broken record here because people have already said this before, way to many times but Nintendo doing one "Good thing" doesn't suddenly make every mistake they've made disappear, and it's even worse when they still do said mistakes after.

    @NintendoAmerica Oh wow I didn't know that Kirby now worked at Uber. I give him give Stars for the service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Ellie_Idol Hi, I'm ELLIE IDOL (@Ellie_Idol) reported

    The lag on this Nintendo Online N64 pack is so bad it’s almost unreal. Anyone else have this problem???

  • KingR1997 ✨𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒈✨ (@KingR1997) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Oh wow I didn't know that Kirby now worked at Uber. I give him Five Stars for the service ⭐⭐⭐⭐

    My main problem with Nintendo switch online is thyat I bought a switch to NOT play gqmes at home

  • JiMing_DL The King of Braves GaoMayGar (@JiMing_DL) reported

    i hope that the sheer scale of the response to dragalia EoS is noticed by cygames and nintendo if they are, hopefully they notice that there's interest in this IP continuing. a lot of dl fans weren't big on the gacha system but would gladly support a non-live service game

  • XAlFias XAlFias (@XAlFias) reported

    @vgdunkey Four and a half playthrough and my man still hasn't found the Elden Ring , c'mon Nintendo , fix your game ...

  • ItisIWOOSH 「SHARDBEARER WOOSH」 (@ItisIWOOSH) reported

    I do hope Nintendo sees the promise of Dragalia Lost and does something with it that isn't a live service mobile game

  • marvelous_mimi Mimi (@marvelous_mimi) reported

    @UbisoftSupport can you fix UNO on Nintendo switch. Games keep crashing 😭

  • MaoOnTwitch Loser Mao! (@MaoOnTwitch) reported

    Due to NSO ****** cloud save service, I've lost my Splatoon 2 Save file and have to start anew...thanks Nintendo.

    Man the @NintendoAmerica store's been broken all week and I can't get any dang rewards no matter what I try, and support don't know why it won't work either.

  • Slant16Gamer G-Zus (Slant16Gamer) (@Slant16Gamer) reported

    @rockcock64 Let’s play with the imaginary idea that this did happen. They wouldn’t actually be pc ports. It would be some bullshit cloud-based streaming service that let you play certain Nintendo games on your PC.

  • Byungsuk_Kim Byungsuk Kim | Asians Are Humans (@Byungsuk_Kim) reported

    @AidenRS139 They're great but very faulty. Can't tell you how often I've sent in my Droid cons for repairs and had system issues with my Nintendo switch not communicating with the joycons.

  • rollergold4 Rollergold (@rollergold4) reported

    @Chase_247_ 2/2 makes me wonder what was nintendo's priorities for MK8D? If graphics & sound were on top, great but it doesn’t look/sound any better then MK8. If a priority was to fix bugs and improve things like net code and item distribution then I think Nintendo dropped the ball on this.

  • XAlFias XAlFias (@XAlFias) reported

    @vgdunkey Four and a half playthrough and my ma still hasn't found the Elden Ring , c'mon Nintendo , fix your game ...

  • GIamrockFreddyy ⭐️GlamrockFreddy⭐️ (Shamrock event) (@GIamrockFreddyy) reported

    @CuddlyBunnyBowl I can see that your online from my Nintendo switch friends list, but not from Minecraft. I think it might be me because it was doing something like this yesterday Sorry about that. I’ll try and figure out the problem and I’ll help you build another day!

  • ThorstenAnzomi Thorsten Anzomi (@ThorstenAnzomi) reported

    So either: @NintendoAmerica has broken email, or they're somehow blacklisted on an account that, until 10 minutes ago, had stopped existing because it was old and obsolete. Except wait, I can get "lost account" emails just fine, so.. ???

  • silvernugclub Spice 🐀 (@silvernugclub) reported

    @NintendoAmerica EVERY ******* REMOTE I HAVE IS BROKEN. I'M TIRED OF BUYING NEW ONES, AND SENDING THEM IN TO GET FIXED AND GETTING THEM BACK STILL BROKEN. I wish I never spent all this money on the v switch.

  • tripletopper Brian Ciesicki (@tripletopper) reported

    Lightning cause problems with Mac OS 12 booting up. Going to have to call Apple. might have to redownload OS. Very cheap show today, syncing my Nintendo groups with friends' comment online games.

  • TheYump YumpTheDuck (@TheYump) reported

    I had the weirdest dream last night that someone hacked and put out a splatoon patch where the added this creature that would kill anyone instantly if you made noise and the changed the maps to look ugly and Nintendo refused to fix it so everyone quit the game.

  • IronicLark 🌷Fer🌷 (@IronicLark) reported

    @ToastCrust Even non live service ones, see: two Nintendo eShops and counting, nobody's safe

  • Ranmzoxe LapMan (@Ranmzoxe) reported

    |!SYSTEM ERROR!|.. you can't associate LapMan with Nintendo switch.

  • JetgoshiEX Jet @ Road to Xenoblade 3 - Pneuma simp (@JetgoshiEX) reported

    I hate it when most Nintendo-ish YouTuber (and Smash modder) don't really has much knowledge on Xenoblade franchises which is sad. It like they always keep asking for Crash or Rayman for Smash.

  • TiggyFireTiger TiggyFireTiger (@TiggyFireTiger) reported

    @W8ingSplatoon3 And risk Splatoon 3 being rushed and horrible quality as a result? No thank you! I would actually prefer it if Nintendo were to delay the game, to work on quality issues, rather than rush it and it turning out bad.
