Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • OneToxicPixel OneToxicPixel 👑 (@OneToxicPixel) reported

    The amiibos went up on Nintendo store and like 5 minutes later they were sold out. Scalpers are a HUGE issue and you can't convince me otherwise.

  • MarkPl08 IMark 🏳️‍🌈 (@MarkPl08) reported

    @Sisslethecat I do hope that they will do it, that and Wii Because if they do it, then I might get the nintendo sub and try it out (Honestly I'm surprised that it's available in Poland. Cause Playstation still is lagging here with several things and it's bigger than Nintendo here)

  • catxxxman 🌏 Doctor Who🪐 (@catxxxman) reported

    Me and @GemmaTaylor199 try to play #FallGuys on the Nintendo switch and every single time it come out with we have a problem finding a match so we gave up in the end

  • BStapIes BStaples (@BStapIes) reported

    @JezCorden It should be 18 months, to the next holiday. And also need fan service announcements aswell (Like Sony with Wolverine/KOTOR Remake and Nintendo with BOTW2/Metroid Prime 4)

  • Deeteckz Dee (@Deeteckz) reported

    @HatokTalk Sunshine is like a janky game but Nintendo did not do that game justice by giving people a jankier version of that game cause it’s just using a dolphin emulator with its own issues intact

  • light_nil_ sardine (@light_nil_) reported

    do u guys know how to fix a broken Nintendo 3ds screen by any chance

  • TheJTReview94 The JT Review (@TheJTReview94) reported

    Okay unless it’s a server problem, Fall Guys on Switch is BAD… like… really bad. And I’m usually the type of person to defend Nintendo but… this is beyond terrible

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • JulianWinters9 Julian Winters (@JulianWinters9) reported

    Hello I have a question fall guys they did not fix the game on Xbox and Nintendo Switch

  • symboltherapper Symbol (@symboltherapper) reported

    @ItsukiSword I’m not sure where you are getting your info, software sales drive the business …if it wasn’t profitable the industry would crash. Only the consoles are sold at a loss except for Nintendo. They make up the loss with software sales…

  • Kasur1309 Kasur (@Kasur1309) reported

    @LonelyGoomba With Mario Kart I see no issue. There is tons of little twists you could come up with. Or maybe even really make it a "Nintendo kart". Smash on the other hand i agree with. But even there you could do some easy things. A good singleplayer plus wastely improved online would sell

  • penguinjack2005 Jack Strudley (@penguinjack2005) reported

    @NintendoUK Why are there barely any characters and why online am I only able to select 1 character in Striker Mode and the others are randomly chosen? Please fix these things ASAP!

  • KoiOfOkinawa May, Koi of Okinawa 🌺 (@KoiOfOkinawa) reported

    @MikeXeno__ It's not. The problem is that there's a lot of games Nintendo could be talking about, like every other platform/mainstream publisher, but the only thing Nintendo is seemingly doing is a Xenoblade stream. That's it. I'm getting the game, but Nintendo is generally boring right now.

  • wheyxwheat rimm (@wheyxwheat) reported

    @kourenIvr Everyone? Have you not seen the backlash ppl give?? When we all consumed nintendo media ourselves we cannot point fingers and go "hes the only problem "

  • El_Bucket_man Tony Still (@El_Bucket_man) reported

    @Cyrostyx @Knopp1776 @IGN Nope, Dpad issues is a fault straight out of the box which MS has reconised when they have been sent back for replacement and the stick drift issue is because of parts that Sony, MS and nintendo use

  • XScytheMata21 Juan Mata (@XScytheMata21) reported

    @WEEGEETHEGOD Personally, i don't think either games are bad, because the gameplay is great and they're fun. The problem is the lack of content, characters, and that, is to blame Nintendo, not the developers. Mario Strikers is super fun and chaotic, just less aggresive

  • SparkyPhoenix85 Drew Freeman (@SparkyPhoenix85) reported

    @sacrediconpod @Xbox_Series_XS Haven’t been genuinely interested in a Nintendo game since Mario 64; PlayStation games don’t seem as compelling as they’re hyped up to be to me either. Xbox games have a lot to make up for but the platform and GamePass have all I want/need and then some so it’s a non issue for me

  • Von_o_ Von🍥 (@Von_o_) reported

    @BlizzardCS I can't login to overwatch on ps4 and nintendo switch.

  • kentstupmi Kent Stupmi (@kentstupmi) reported

    @DJK1NG_Gaming nintendo needs a gamepass style service

  • JulianWinters9 Julian Winters (@JulianWinters9) reported

    @InfoFallGuysESP They did not fix the game on Xbox and Nintendo Switch

  • poolelass sarah (@poolelass) reported

    @bigYonw @NintendoUK @FallGuysGame Lol snap managed to play a few rounds this morning but back to this in the afternoon hope it doesn't take long to fix as been down 2 and a half hours so far. Was so excited for this coming to switch as well. Might test it on my ps5 to see if it's the same there.

  • antrite064 Antione Hambright (@antrite064) reported

    @RaybrandtCloud2 @NintendoAmerica @FallGuysGame If anyone didn't care there would be no problem with the server!

  • Lvl_97_Mudkip Lvl 97 Mudkip (@Lvl_97_Mudkip) reported

    @Lunasia64DS Honestly that sounds like a Warranty thing, even if it’s been a few years they should be able to fix it for free or for minimal cost - I contacted Nintendo Support and they fixed my broken cooling fan for free, paid for shipping and everything. Might want to look into it!

  • DizzleBite Dizzle (@DizzleBite) reported

    @FallGuysGame I'm am nintendo switch player and it give error could you fix this please

  • applesaughce BLM / ACAB (@applesaughce) reported

    Psst.. do it on the switch, pc fall guys could have an issue where it just doesn't work at all and u have to do this complicated thing that might not even get it to work So Nintendo switch is the best bet me thinks

  • Wiishopchannel1 the real Wii shop channel!!! 🇺🇦 (@Wiishopchannel1) reported

    @ItemsENABLED @NintendoAmerica @FallGuysGame Yeah that's true mediatonic is already hearing feedback from the new console ports and the switch version. And already trying to fix bugs and performance.

  • Paulieg6102 Paulieg610 (@Paulieg6102) reported

    @FallGuysGame, I have a problem. When I try to start a custom match on Nintendo Switch, I get me and 4 of my friends doing Solo Show. When I try to start it, it doesn’t work. Can you help out?

  • Subspaceking2 Subspaceking (@Subspaceking2) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @FallGuysGame Is this just for the Switch version, I heard of several issues with the game.

  • NearlyNintendo Nearly Nintendo (@NearlyNintendo) reported

    Prepare for trouble and make it triple when "Apple Music HD Remake" releases for a limited time on Nintendo Switch systems on 11/2/2022!

  • antrite064 Antione Hambright (@antrite064) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @FallGuysGame Yeah first i have to set up a freaking account with epic games now i'm getting an error failed to login and there's nothing wrong with my connection! WTF! I can't even play!
