Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AmiiboArcana Benson @ Grandia, Nier Replicant and backlog hell (@AmiiboArcana) reported

    Literally all Nintendo has to do is add Earthbound to NSO and their service and E3 will be saved

  • wildetrousers Gert Wildetrousers (@wildetrousers) reported

    @Joseph98270977 @NintendoAmerica Keep trying, it will work eventually. I had the same problem.

  • TheBlackFastGu1 FastGuy (Professional woman hater) (@TheBlackFastGu1) reported

    Nintendo is the batman to our gotham right now, if the people on twitter don't see crash is smash or botw 2 then all hope is lost #E32021

  • heyitscerita Cerita ✨ (@heyitscerita) reported

    I am a victim of Nintendo error code 2123-1502

  • TimeLordAlex 🏳️‍🌈 Alejandro 🥞🍋🍪✨ (@TimeLordAlex) reported

    @AGUniverse_ I mean the could but people are gone mad regardless, “omg crash didn’t got added to smash”, “Omg we didn’t got any Bayonetta 3 news” “where is Metroid prime 4” “they didn’t show the Nintendo switch pro” I mean they’ll never save #E32021 with their fanbase

  • RyderReviews420 Depressed Mavs Fan (@RyderReviews420) reported

    Did Nintendo reveal Crash for Smash yet

  • Squidodile Pumpkaboom (@Squidodile) reported

    @LedFunnyman @coolish_crane @NintendoUK My issue with the Fortnite man is that he might just play out as a ****** Steve. If he doesn't then cool whatevs.

  • RadioFreCaemlyn Radio Free Caemlyn (@RadioFreCaemlyn) reported

    I got my latest blind bag magazine from @GameHistoryOrg today. This month it is an issue of Nintendo Power from early 1992. I'm about to do a long thread discussing this issue. if you don't care/don't want your timeline flooded, the mute the hashtag #retrogamingmag

  • Seeker_Hunter Hunter Gamer (@Seeker_Hunter) reported

    @monsterhunter Is the Deluxe Kit available to buy & I still don't know the price? Also when you contact #NintendoSwitch about fixing Nintendo Switch 12.0.3 error code 2123-1502? Because I want to play that demo & I already got the pre-order the physical game on Amazon.

  • PotOfGreedo Pot of Greed #UnBanNairo (@PotOfGreedo) reported

    If Nintendo's presentation sucks, I hoping for another crash in the industry. And I'm not talking about another bandicoot game.

  • pinkapricorn rose darling (@pinkapricorn) reported

    but i do think nintendo should fix the switch download error if they plan to announce anything launching tomorrow/soon lol

  • krownFTW Brayan Diaz (@krownFTW) reported

    @Chimezard Same, bro. I anxiously wait for tomorrow. I hope Crash gets into Smash but I'm afraid that whoever gets in, will get MASSIVE amount of hate. Hopefully, Nintendo has some cool things to show but covid was and still is an issue in the world. Don't get too hype 😕

  • Mohoten_05 Doug_H (@Mohoten_05) reported

    @NintendoAmerica If there isn’t botw 2 stuff we will have an issue

  • woke_oak woke oak (@woke_oak) reported

    @Lunacial nintendo's february e3 was so draining (right up until splatoon 3 at least) that its broken my confidence in the next direct being good and my gut feeling is telling me their smash reveal is gonna be pretty unremarkable

    @blebleban @NintendoAmerica PS worse. The console sounds like a broken fan

  • ItsDaniPlays Dani (@ItsDaniPlays) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Did ya fix the update yet? I still can't download my games.

  • Petert930 Peter Tran (@Petert930) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fbi / Military 🌈 is shooting me with radio waves.  My head is cramping up and I feel heavy anxiety always.  Trouble breathing and my ears/head blasted so much.  They shock my jaw so it jerks around. They electrocute my tongue as well and I feel burns. They give me nightmares.

  • KaliFlower64 nyan neko ***** girl (256/300) (@KaliFlower64) reported

    the problem with nintendo's show is like "wow look at all these games i'm gonna have to pay full price for even 5 years down the line!!!!"

  • Sora_Hikaru3 Sora Hikaru (@Sora_Hikaru3) reported

    @DinoNuggetsXD @NintendoAmerica You lame *** hekl for putting crash there Waste of a slot Sora or shantae would be better

  • PeteSkerritt Pete Skerritt (@PeteSkerritt) reported from West Springfield, Massachusetts

    Another day passes with no comment from Nintendo on Switch Error Code 2123-1502. It’s pretty much confirmed that the company doesn’t have any idea what to do about its screwup and is burying its head in the sand at this point. Clown show, really. #FixTheSwitchNintendo

  • TurtersStruggle Turters (@TurtersStruggle) reported

    @Planetaire27 Because I'm a optimistic dinosaur. Oops I just leaked that I'm actually Dino. Better cover my tracks. Because I'm a Nintendo insider leaking Smash info. Lloyd and Crash coming to Smash tomorrow.

  • Shadow0969 Shadow (@Shadow0969) reported

    I've been going through a lot of internal turmoil lately so if tomorrow's Nintendo E3 Direct doesn't solve all of my life's problems, then I suppose I have no choice but to... just stay disappointed with a little bit of crying myself to sleep.

  • BadTakesJake 🔔 Jake (@BadTakesJake) reported

    @NintenZ I think instead of expecting Nintendo to do everything that people aren't, maybe expect the same problems that have forced everyone else to dial down their presentations to also be affecting Nintendo???? like Smash will probably be there but that might be the only "big" thing

  • marmastry 🪴🔅Mai 🔅🪴 (@marmastry) reported

    I mean what’s the worst thing nintendo would do? Show us a 30 minute gameplay of DC super girls? Not that there’s any problem with that game but yknow

  • MrCorazon44 Mr. Corazón (@MrCorazon44) reported

    Nintendo announces the fix for that update. And that’s it

  • FizzVsTheWorld Michael Scally 🌈✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 (@FizzVsTheWorld) reported

    Nintendo has to really bring the heat tomorrow to keep #E32021 from being a total wash outside of Xbox and the indie stuff... But that's part of the problem, isn't it? None of the good parts of E3 this year really needed the ESA to showcase themselves... #FizzVsGaming

  • ourbravestboy MASH | OBB @ SHADOW FOR SMASH (@ourbravestboy) reported

    Will be streaming mine and Caesar’s reaction to the Nintendo and Bandai livestreams tomorrow. Gotta fix webcam first

  • PeteSkerritt Pete Skerritt (@PeteSkerritt) reported from West Springfield, Massachusetts

    Nintendo is totally going to get shat upon in its social media tomorrow for not fixing Error Code 2123-1502, and I’m here for it. I *dare* Nintendo to stealth release content tomorrow when a significant portion of Switch owners can’t download anything because of the error.

  • sackboy5055 HaruMako Stan Account (@sackboy5055) reported

    @BrianTheLoser23 I think the problem is microsoft and nintendo are the only major devs that can pull out guaranteed showstoppers. Even if the 3rd parties suck they still have forza, halo, smash etc. Pc gamer, summer games fest etc don't have those
