Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • _curiousbob Chris Lee (@_curiousbob) reported

    @BlizzardCS What’s the status on getting things working on Nintendo Switch? I keep getting errors when trying to connect. It’s working on PC, but noticed there’s a queue which isn’t present on Switch.

  • GoodFriendGriff Griffin Bryant (@GoodFriendGriff) reported

    @ImmortalDummy Yeah but what can you see from the trailer that makes it look low quality? Nothing, that’s your answer. That’s the problem with Nintendo fanboys, nothing will ever satisfy them.

  • TophoftheHammer Toph (Dream Puncher) (@TophoftheHammer) reported

    @BauerdadVGC My issue is that I don’t think 2.5/month for a bunch of old games is worth it long term. Sure the 64 may be some people’s “golden era” of games, but even then comparing Nintendo’s online service to either Sony or Microsoft, $20/year seemed a good deal, not $50

  • Gersonzero Gersonzero (@Gersonzero) reported

    That cotton boomerang guardian force port is one of the worst compilations on Nintendo Switch. The lag is real. I was wondering if people were exaggerating. It’s literally unplayable!

  • unpaws Alis (@unpaws) reported

    @tha_rami Lucky! When we tried, the Nintendo support would not help because the old Switch was still functional and hadn't been to their repair shop. They'd only do it for broken/lost devices 😡

  • dantes61680 Dantes61680 🇵🇷 (@dantes61680) reported

    @ForceinUnison I don't think it will happen because out of the three companies its sad to say but Nintendo is the one who listens to its fan base the least We we are going to speak with our wallets in this one. Its so easy to fix with a middle tier

  • BriellaDivine 🖤 (@BriellaDivine) reported

    @FuckJaayRizzle @NintendoAmerica with the way we always have connection issues let’s see how far we make it lmaoooo

  • BigPhil870 Move SEC HQ out of Alabama! (@BigPhil870) reported

    Is anyone else having server issues on Nintendo Switch? My son can't connect.

  • adrianna_nailo Adrianna Nailo (@adrianna_nailo) reported

    @ChrisgamerST The problem is that if people do get it, (Which let's be honest idiots will,) Nintendo will think that the price is reasonable and will make more expensive and stupid choices going forward. $100 a year for their choice of games is not a good price.

  • XecularO Xecular Official (@XecularO) reported

    @ShaNexxus @TylerIsANerd_ @DynamoSuperX Nintendo did not develop those games and I especially don't want to give them money. They are far past their production and sales run, the real developers won't see any of the money made from this service.

  • MobTownHero Ultra Ego | Mob (@MobTownHero) reported

    @MeruSensei LMAO, it would be a random *** buff like that! UpB1 fix would be HUGE. I traded Fsmash for Ftilt, so I would just want them to fix falling out of Fsmash. We're definitely gonna find out tomorrow how much Nintendo hates us. Hopefully, it's not the last patch.

  • retrospilling Retrospilling.no / Frank Eivind Rundholt (@retrospilling) reported

    @Blue_NightLight Same for me and MarioKart Tour also won't play. Looks line an error at Nintendo.

  • ItzVCiPz V-CiPz™‏ (@ItzVCiPz) reported

    @_nemean Nintendo values their mediocre service like it is a ten course platter at a five star resturaunt, yet they offerring a 2 star meal for their 'services' Yet people will buy it, since they feel there is value here when objectively it isn't. Switch era may downspiral at this rate.

  • FaerghusM MyraFaerghus (@FaerghusM) reported

    @CutieInkwell @FE_Heroes_EN This problem seems to concern all Nintendo mobile games, Pokémon Go has problems too. I hope it's not a major problem...

  • soldano31 soldano31 (@soldano31) reported

    @netzwech @thebundeld They know and they don’t care. Contact Nintendo and get a refund like I did. They’re well aware of the issue and won’t blink.

  • ShaNexxus Victor (@ShaNexxus) reported

    @XecularO @TylerIsANerd_ @DynamoSuperX Nintendo has a subscription service they are selling that includes those games. You're still taking money away from Nintendo especially if you're pirating those games.

  • PedroAGMYT AGM (AquelGamerMexicano) (@PedroAGMYT) reported

    @GalacticPirate_ Now, spite? Maybe i could see it given how vocal Nintendo fans tend to be about saying they're gonna emulate what they don't feel buying, and when your whole community creates that kind of impression, that's when the problem comes in, but again, that's an assumption

  • Laprisu Christian @ MEX Berlin (October 2021) (@Laprisu) reported

    FIX YOUR SERVERS NINTENDO, IT'S BEEN 3 HOURS NOW

  • purplemage572 Purple 紫の (@purplemage572) reported

    @johnnythexxxiv @Taccm7 @NintendoAmerica Good for you! I like my games the way they are. If I really like one of the games on this extremely cheap service then I'll go and look for it- Which, by the way, any single one of the games offered is Definitely more expensive than the service as a whole. Not losing out.

  • MinisterofDOOM MinisterofDOOM (@MinisterofDOOM) reported

    @tha_rami Nintendo: Check it out, we have a Switch for home and a Switch to go. At also have Online Service things now. BUT YOU MAY ONLY USE ONE.

  • steegesaurus Jared (@steegesaurus) reported

    @DanielMcArdle3 @TheNCSmaster @LonelyGoomba actually, it IS your dime, as well as your business. if millions of people pay for an insanely overpriced service, then Nintendo knows they can get away with overcharging people. down the line when there is a game or service that you actually do care about, it’s overpriced

  • riphorya Leocadia Oghenero (@riphorya) reported

    Yeah why pay for nintendo's scam service when we can just emulate and pirate the games

  • natcatvins NatCatVinny #GetVaxxed (@natcatvins) reported

    @triviafall Global outage apparently. Their mobile games servers are down, affecting all Nintendo mobile phone games. Frustrating!

  • robbyburrito Robby (@robbyburrito) reported

    The next animal crossing update fixes almost every problem I had with the game, good **** Nintendo.

  • mariobros1632 Michael #PortTekkentoSwitch Halloweeny time (@mariobros1632) reported

    @MasterSwrdRemix Because he hates the service and questions why Nintendo made it

  • BulkyNemesis BulkYNemesis (@BulkyNemesis) reported

    @coffeeemblem There is a problem accross all Nintendo games on android devices so gotta wait till they fix them. MFW i charged my phone to auto in DL but now i cant og in

  • Vigilante_Blade #SaveSmash_Vigilante (@Vigilante_Blade) reported

    On people working with Nintendo... this is a complicated issue. As Fizzi said, Nintendo ultimately created a sort of monopoly on who is even allowed to support our various communities. We could have had Twitch, Red Bull, Dr. Pepper, Major League Gaming and various other big...

  • PSIVanta Vanta #SoraInSmash #UnbanNairo (@PSIVanta) reported

    hugs talking like people (in the ultimate community) gotta stop working with nintendo (a melee community problem) as a grown man with his own, most likely reliable and consistent, income.

  • BigPhil870 Move SEC HQ out of Alabama! (@BigPhil870) reported

    Is anyone else having server issues on Nintendo Switch? My son can't connect. #NBA2K22

  • Diabloshadow12 😈Diabloshadow (@Diabloshadow12) reported

    @ZeldaGret @animalcrossing Apparently a lot of Nintendo mobile games are having issues. I've seen a few other people talking about it at least
