Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

Evangelion 3.0+1.0 doesn't exist
(@AortaPlatinum) reported
@PeanutButterGmr Bruh. It's because people keep buying these **** ports that Nintendo keeps releasing them at full price. The audience is not as guilty as Nintendo, but they're absolutely contributing to the problem.

@HisenseUK I have trouble with my Roku TV it keeps saying it over heating it is not by any heat source and is well ventilated. All I have pulled in is one HDMI for a Nintendo switch and an Ariel cable. Any suggestions please

@lordgoomy0 i still think the input lag exists cus it was rushed to get it out during switch launch and it screwed things up, it's very likely it will be fixed for splat 3 nintendo's new network is gonna be used for splat 3 and that has a form of servers that works with P2P causing less lag

@PG_ESAM This is also not to shut down any arguments about discomfort however this is a Nintendo issue. They didn't have to put this character in a game. Have multiple scenes of the camera rotating from waist down - up then to her face. Literally her *** was all over that trailer tits too

@ThousandDanny @SaiyanSerenityV I'm only disappointed that Nintendo didn't show Groose at all in the trailer like how dare they deprive us Also as a speedrunner I'm thinking about potential tech that could be born from analog sword controls (I'm sure the BiT glitch will be patched but you never knowww)

@NaveeWhite @NintendoAmerica I just thought it was a strange way to persuade people to buy the game! No problem

Also!, "game-breaking" is way too far to say toward Smash currently, but it's got some BAD issues, and it seems like a lot of people are only punching to one of them (the atrocious online) because of COVID and not just because it's awful always. but it's Nintendo so it's fine xD

@Chad42134153 I only want the physicals, especially for Nintendo who has no problem shutting down eShops.

@TheNCSmaster I genuinely was expecting Crash, but I guess Nintendo wants more people to play their RPGs just as they did with Melee. I personally don't mind their selection, but can't hide that I was a bit disappointed. Gotta remind myself it's their game, and not a videogame hall of fame.

@XC_Enel @chuggaaconroy I played the game, I don’t like it, but I did think the battle system could’ve made for an interesting Smash character. My problem is that it looks like Nintendo threw all of that interesting stuff out the window, put a Pyra model on a generic swordfighter and called it a day.

A Switch Pro isn't going to change a damn thing. Games will still be $60, the system won't be on par with Series X/S or PS5, and Nintendo will still have a horrible Online Service. Can we stop pretending that it exists and just wait for an official announcement?

@joshquixote @AlbertW776 It's basically a virtual phone. I still need to log into my legit google account and legit nintendo account, otherwise the game won't work (without a google account you get an error on the summoning screen). For all intents and purposes it's the same as playing it regularly.

@MissingNerd @NintendoEurope If Nintendo was in it for the money they would have charged people to fix the Joycons. They did it for free. That isn't "in it for the money".

@Lunatoons25 @MattCompton97 nintendo is very smart and dont fully adhere to fan service and i love them for it. and nintendo fanboys need to understand this and also that its a money machine. this port is something that i, someone brand new to zelda, might actually get, and THATS the whole point. 🔥

@PlayerEssence Remember when everyone was so eager to say stuff like "WE'LL SUPPORT THE METROID 2 3DS REMAKE!!!!"... and later the remake sold like crap? Almost as if like there's a huge disconnect between metroid fans and Nintendo fans

@NintendoAmerica Maybe you should first fix joy con drift and give us back to back directs after giving us none in 2020 and make it have actually good games because the only good game announced in the 2.17 direct is Splatoon 3 like give us botw 2 news and Metroid prime 4

@polaroidflowers @LouieVuittonDon @GusBusAdvance Buy it used so Nintendo won't make any money off of it problem solved you can play the game and not support Nintendo also you do know you can use dolphine on mobile devices right
-
silly.
(@sillydotmp4) reported
@Magic_Octo +with Nintendo moving to new servers this game will probably be optimized to them -the game will still be on the switch so there's probably nothing that can be done about the input lag

@HugS86 @ChellyToms there was that insane article about why we shouldn't complain about Nintendo because we haven't solved misconduct, and then the dude cited universities and professional sports leagues as examples of how we should look to handle those issues. like are you ******* kidding me?
