Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 163 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • keilmillerjr Keil Miller Jr (@keilmillerjr) reported

    @MisterAddons If it were great, it wouldn't be the only console with that type of design. They didn't continue with it for a reason. Also, every one on display had a broken analog stick. Brawler64 kicker starter makes controller Nintendo should have.

  • Dominic11B4 Dominic (@Dominic11B4) reported

    @tha_rami Also, when I rented NES games, I found staggeringly bad games. Nothing truly broken since Nintendo rejected the non functional ones but, the gem to crap ratio was bad.

  • Arandomguyonth2 64bitmodels (@Arandomguyonth2) reported

    @Jake766671 @bklynvideogames the thing that pisses me off about the vita most is the fact that cuz it failed sony thought it was a great idea to just abandon handhelds altogether. now we have to go to nintendo for a handheld fix instead of having options. imagine a PSvita 2 with more powerful hardware.

    Qué cojones hago a very core of the Nintendo uses turnips to fix your email address isn’t done yet 🌹

  • Chuck_Fontenot 🎉New Year, Old Keith🎊 (@Chuck_Fontenot) reported

    “Yeah man, I’m in a great headspace. Just cried watching a Nintendo customer service video from the 80s because my dead relatives won’t be at my wedding.” - Certainly not me

  • 228ThatGuyMike Mike S. & OCs (@228ThatGuyMike) reported

    I myself don't agree with everything those two companies do, but I feel it comes to the point of crossing the line when you even /mildly/ insinuate someone is "wrong" for liking something you dislike. Maybe if you titled the video and thumbnail "Here's my issue with Nintendo", -

  • thefrostyone97 the_frosty_one_97 (@thefrostyone97) reported

    Might have to switch over to twitch cause been having problems with stream labs obs and obs and pc hasn’t been really good lately been playing on a Nintendo switch

  • damppebbles Emma Welton | 𝚍𝚊𝚖𝚙𝚙𝚎𝚋𝚋𝚕𝚎𝚜.𝚌𝚘𝚖 (@damppebbles) reported

    Help! Anyone have any experience with two Nintendo switch consoles on the same parent account (one email)? 1 of our profiles has disappeared and customer service are closed today. All progress seems to have been lost after hours of gameplay 😭 #NintendoSwitch #techtwitter #gaming

  • AllanAsifuina allan Asifuina (@AllanAsifuina) reported

    @madamedufur @NintendoCanada I don't see the problem with that xd. Looks more beautiful without hair to me

  • PureAngelle Erin (@PureAngelle) reported

    @monzo It wasn’t declined as it didn’t even go through Monzo I think it was a Nintendo store problem as when I tried PayPal using Monzo as the bank to pay from it worked

  • jutsu0808 Jutsu (@jutsu0808) reported

    @NintendoUK Fix your damn online system, add a proper ranking system in SSBU like any other game (example Brawlhalla), fix your damn Joycons, the only thing they can do is drift, and lastly WHERE IS MARIO KART 9/ULTIMATE, WHERE EVERYTHING IS COMBINED INTO 1 GAME!

  • steddiflo1 steddiflo (@steddiflo1) reported

    @leebrightjr @Puertorock77_ Playstation & Nintendo don't have a problem sell their games at full price but Xbox does? Come on my guy, but Microsoft doesn't need it? Help this make sense? It's not adding up

  • Wayneswan16 Wayne swan (@Wayneswan16) reported

    @PoshPenguino @NintendoUK @FootballManager Terrible customer service as always from Nintendo. The more I speak to people I should just get my money back and get a XBox or a PS4

  • axolotl_idrooo Idrooo (@axolotl_idrooo) reported

    @FortniteStatus Still login issues on Nintendo

  • BiffMcSkylark 🜏 BiffMcSkylark 🕹️🌈 (@BiffMcSkylark) reported

    I'd like to add I've had numerous first party Sega and Nintendo games crash on me when I was a kid so even the classics suffered from bugs and crashes.

  • jutsu0808 Jutsu (@jutsu0808) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix your damn online system, add a proper ranking system in SSBU like any other game (example Brawlhalla), fix your damn Joycons, the only thing they can do is drift, and lastly WHERE IS MARIO KART 9/ULTIMATE, WHERE EVERYTHING IS COMBINED INTO 1 GAME!

  • ScuzBrains Ferengi Crimes @ Elim Garak (@ScuzBrains) reported

    @Circuit_Zonez If you contact Nintendo support they'll fix em free! Takes like a month of waiting but Free

  • LampStreet1 LampStreet (@LampStreet1) reported

    in 2022 for sure. Idk if I will stream w facecam on twitch but I'll be doing vids that have me in it. Uhhh as for gaming I wanna do like, old nintendo games and stuff, cause those are really fun to play and I think that would lag out my laptop less when I stream. Will still main+

  • 6danicalifornia Dani Tomlinson 🎶 (@6danicalifornia) reported from Leigh, England

    2021 peaked when I got Crash Bandicoot on the sale today for the Nintendo switch

  • AngryAtlantean Christmas Atlantean (@AngryAtlantean) reported

    @ObiWanShen_Obi @Drexl_Raz Fanboying isn't cringe, it's simply useless in this day and age. In the early days, consoles actually offered different **** for customers. Sonic?? SEGA Mario? Nintendo Crash? PSX.

    @NintendoRoundup The demo doesn't work, I get error code 9001-1630 when I try to download it @NintendoAmerica

  • sebacostamr MemesRDreams @ Waiting for Witch Queen (@sebacostamr) reported

    @trench_marinara @amazingabellini Exactly. It would be a problem for Nintendo if they planned to rerelease those games on newer hardware...BUT THEY HARDLY EVER DO!

  • ChrisBarnesArt The Mighty Chris (@ChrisBarnesArt) reported

    Hey @NintendoCanada can you have your customer service agents open a school teaching good customer service and invite @Bell_Support to send their phone based agents? They desperately need the education!

  • bigstephen44 Stephen (@bigstephen44) reported

    @DOOM Can't seem to find a online match on Doom Eternal nintendo switch version Europe...is that a common problem with switch version

  • Rasby_taken Řą§bý (@Rasby_taken) reported

    @RdeFuijk @jutsu0808 @NintendoEurope The guy who runs the official Nintendo of Europe account: "I'm sorry I don't even know how to fix stuff I only run the twitter account please forgive me 😭😭😭😭"

  • SerenitySophie Sophie from Serenity 🐚💜 (@SerenitySophie) reported

    It's that time of the month when I have to try to clear my phone of as much stuff as possible to update Genshin Impact. Really, when will it be available on Nintendo Switch ? The problem will grow exponentially...

  • Tobes325 Tobes 🐷🦦🐰 (@Tobes325) reported

    @MrLuidon Yeah but a lousy solution. Nintendo need to fix this 😕😢
