Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ItsAsterisk Jackson 🐝 (@ItsAsterisk) reported

    @EddyZacianLand nah, but this only a problem with Nintendo. with my playstation 4 I can still play it without upgrading and have my games not lag except for a few outliers. With the switch the only thing that makes it worth buying is the games. The console itself is so scuffed.

  • SoJiArt Josi (@SoJiArt) reported

    I would very much like to know when Nintendo is doing their activities at E3, I want to see if I can telework those days ;_; ( I always work with musics or videos in the bg, without problems, but Youtube is blocked at work)

    @MilesClouds @NintendoUK mans dripping swag like a broken faucet

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • TheRavingTimes TheRavingTimes (@TheRavingTimes) reported

    @McTroid Nintendo Fans: IT'S BEEN 30 SECONDS NINTENDO!!! WHEN IS THE STREAM STARTING!!! Sega Fans: Dang, looks like Sega is having some technical issues.

  • idkabtthisone idk (@idkabtthisone) reported

    they talking about a new switch pro when nintendo still need to have free online service on the switch

  • JustinAlexP Justin Proulx (@JustinAlexP) reported

    i wonder if the Switch Pro/New Nintendo Switch will finally fix Joy-Con drift

  • armahillo Radius Networks Entertainment Squad (@armahillo) reported

    Nintendo can announce all the new hardware they want for the Switch but until they fix the joycon drift issue IDGAF.

  • TheSushi6 LTG | Sushi (@TheSushi6) reported

    @Error404Recon Even if the switch pro does come out, it will likely never be on the same level as the current gen consoles we have now, but I personally don't see that as too much of an issue. Not like we're gonna see nintendo releasing games like cod or cyberpunk on switch.

  • jbx9001 JBX9001 (@jbx9001) reported

    @Zari_Wari I usually buy the physical releases for AAA Nintendo games from my local Walmart (because it’s the closest place that sells video games), and those are $10 less than the usual $60, if that. And considering I usually wait until I get paid, I can sometimes get 2 without an issue.

  • Jkweath Joshua Keith (@Jkweath) reported

    @jaidenalemni I've wanted to for such a long time. I learned awhile back that MV/MZ can port, but Nintendo won't allow them on the store due to some issue with HTML5. XP might not have that problem though. But then you also can't port any stock assets to other engines...

  • AnthonyPool450 Anthony (@AnthonyPool450) reported

    @gold_other @gibbo3048 not sure what you are saying . I said nintendo games are special so people dont have a issue with buying two versions of a game. soooooo

  • lnvolvement Ben Affleck Back Tattoo ™ (@lnvolvement) reported

    This will be my last tweet towards you @NintendoAmerica FIX YOUR ******* SERVERS. YOUR ONLINE EXPERIENCE IS ABSOLUTE TRASH. I PAY MOOOONNNNNEEEEEYYYY TO PLAY ONLINE WITH YOUR **** SERVERS. YOU HAVE ENOUGH $$$ TO MAKE YOUR CONSUMERS HAPPY. JUST FIX ONLINE. **** YOU

  • Corrobyn Ugly *** boi (@Corrobyn) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @playvs fix the online, fix the game, put money in your scene, stop giving first place winner a ******* controller u *******

  • SpectInsDient Alex Corvis (@SpectInsDient) reported

    @Helexzura @casamato21 That really depends. Never had issues asking for refunds digitally on Xbox. Playstation and Nintendo gave me some headaches, one never moved forward actually.

  • Kirvyx kirvyx (@Kirvyx) reported

    There is a reason why nintendo doesn't put mobile stuff or something related to the nintendo online service in directs #SonicCentral

  • Luca34021792 Luca (@Luca34021792) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Hello, I am having issues with my Nintendo switch. When I put it into the Dock it makes a loud fuzzing noise. I'm not quite sure what it is, I don't think it's the connect as the wires that connect from the TV/Monitor to the switch are in perfect condition

  • Splatoon3Amy Amy Rose (@Splatoon3Amy) reported

    The PS5 is terrible I will sell this for cheap as for 300 to 400 the Nintendo switch never had any problems and my Wi-Fi is perfect and it’s a beautiful day... Dissatisfied. 👎

  • iamashelton 🎙️Anthony Shelton🎙️ (@iamashelton) reported

    So if the Nintendo Switch Pro actually exists and its production wouldn't start until July, wouldn't its production suffer the same issues as the PS5 & Series X currently? Not that Nintendo would care. They'd welcome the built-in shortages.

  • Amberpawn The Amber **** (@Amberpawn) reported

    @hankgreen An interesting thing about what Nintendo's been doing with the switch... This is like the third or fourth iteration of the console. Will be cool if they fix the joycon drift.

  • ChrisCage89 ChrisCage89 (@ChrisCage89) reported

    @BigJigglyPanda Anthony: Makes joke about lag with friends This mans: Gets a Bachelors in Japanese and a Master in technology to read every article ever about Sony and Nintendo to call him an idiot in the comments

  • LordDestiny_ Lord Destiny (@LordDestiny_) reported

    @AndreaPichinini It's neither anti-consumer nor does it need explanations. It's something a publisher has to care about and no one else. It also isn't a problem caused by Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo or anyone else but 2k if they aren't willing to pay about 5% share for using Sony's online service

  • SuperNova_Amil SuperNova (@SuperNova_Amil) reported

    Fix the Joy-con drift problem and the overheating problem @NintendoAmerica before you release a new version of the #NintendoSwich because it's ridiculous

  • idlerwerewolf Alex (@idlerwerewolf) reported

    @mostobviousname Nintendo market is so insane, do you think it could crash anytime soon?

  • MrDahle Mike Dahle (@MrDahle) reported

    Can you imagine troubleshooting "45% of all high schools" networks to get the Nintendo Switch to work at their school? If customer service wasn't getting back to you before, submit a work order now for the fall.......or join your local state association.

  • NTRBlaze 👊 NytroBlaze 🔥 (@NTRBlaze) reported

    People are going to de upset over the "Switch Pro," because it's gonna get the updates that people been demanded for the Switch, like a new UI and folders; the controllers will still have the drift problem; and third-parties will make more excuses than games on Nintendo consoles.

  • Dmasterbeast Barry McCockiner (@Dmasterbeast) reported

    @Tito69619339 @mariokarttourEN This is the last thing I'll say to you today. Your ignorant and a hypocrite. Get some professional help. If it ain't my business dont tweet public dm Nintendo if you have a problem (which you certainly do.) If you like the game dont play Nintendo wont care. Have a good day clown.

  • symbolscramble Desi @ Guilty Gear SHILLING (@symbolscramble) reported

    im honestly guessing since they said they lost the source code for games like unleashed and generations this was a similar issue. my guess is i am willing to BET that they ended up getting it from nintendo considering it was a wii exclusive. i ****** BET they asked nintendo

  • Nathand86914897 Nathan drake (@Nathand86914897) reported

    @Cat64717292 @IGN You know that ps4/xb1/Nintendo ALL have different models that change small problems and improve them or reduce the material cost etc , you wont even know on the box its the new one ? so how dafuq is it horrible

  • csmithshine Crystal D Smith 🎮🤘🏻🍻🏳️‍🌈 (@csmithshine) reported

    @nosleep1138 I prefer PS to Xbox and Nintendo. But I can fairly point out the good and bad of all of it and fairly judge stuff. That's the problem is when people let a check create a bias for publishing ****. Honesty shouldn't be a rarity in journalism
