Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • themikewest Michael J. West (@themikewest) reported

    @NintendoAmerica is there no online or phone support I can contact about an issue? Is my only choice really to schedule a repair?

  • Siniartic Clamor dracaena 🐉 Exam time 💀 (@Siniartic) reported

    @puepeupeu If Nintendo agreed to a switch port of genshin I don't think they give a **** about being copied like that. It's ******* Nintendo if they actually had an issue they would've said something or dmca'd hoyo in some way.

  • demonpugo1 Demonpugo (@demonpugo1) reported

    @YZAH45 @LittleDovah Nintendo games have always had glitches. The minus world is a glitch. Smash is filled with glitches. Speed runners beat super mario world with a glitch in like 5 minutes or something crazy.

  • SparklngCyanide Billy Jacob ✨🎮 (@SparklngCyanide) reported

    @GameRant it's funny everybody complains about the lack of new monthly content in the Playstation premium tier (including me), but then Nintendo goes am entire year without updating their service with content each month...... 🤔

  • shelovestattoos Tats (@shelovestattoos) reported

    Can I vent? Im tired of the low quality these Switches have now and replacing/repairing them @NintendoAmerica. My sons unit worked before he went to bed. Woke up with a 2101-0001 error. The “repairs” are not working. Tired of disappointed kids who did nothing wrong. Upgrade Time!

  • Vuonela1 Rokka (@Vuonela1) reported

    @Ikamusme00 @sleeprhit_ Well it's not like in my opinion, the manifacturing of consoles has gotten cheaper. Especially with shortage problems and so on. And if you and most fans acknowledge that Nintendo consoles are inferior in most ways, and the only good thing about them is the games, why not?

  • truetimewatcher timewatcher (@truetimewatcher) reported

    @sincespacies 1. Not all people can just buy a Switch 2. Another market for Nintendo, Spiderman PS4 did wind up doing well on PC 3. Potential to actually bump up the requirements on these ports to make them work w/ 60 FPS without issues. 4. Keyboard controls would do wonders for some of them

  • Dylan80368938 D (@Dylan80368938) reported

    @JamieMoranUK Around the PS4 gen a new batch of sony fanboys emerged who are just plain weird lol doing stuff like this? Btw im a sony fanboy also Nintendo no problem with Xbox but beyond halo they have nothing for me

  • Cinfoni Apolk (@Cinfoni) reported

    @Wunderdasrvicbl @sleeprhit_ you just said Nintendo not being able to sell their consoles without their exclusive is a "you" problem, responding to the guy, wtf you mean he'd be the CEO of Nintendo lmaoooo that was a weak save

  • millyshymme_ .𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐲 (@millyshymme_) reported

    nintendo always making updates on sp3 but will never fix communication issues😔

  • GlenlordGhost Glenlord Ghost👻 (@GlenlordGhost) reported

    @Doeboy @Ringler_SSBM I did. It didn’t sway me at all. Alan was in the wrong and clearly prioritized his brand over the health of the community. Slippi is the biggest issue to me and instead of being a bridge from Nintendo to melee it forced some of the most important advancements back to the shadows

  • PanzerKirby Panzerkirby (@PanzerKirby) reported

    @Hazerion @Ant1sTM Some of them think that the localizers doesnt do it on purpouse. They think nintendo issues the order. Lol.

  • Wunderdasrvicbl Wunder (@Wunderdasrvicbl) reported

    @Cinfoni @sleeprhit_ I was never arguing with you about the nature of exclusives being anti-consumer. And yes, it was a joke on the idea that they would be nintendo, so it would in fact be a "them problem". Idk how you don't get this.

  • Dadcomeback4me dad comeback (@Dadcomeback4me) reported

    @NintendoUK Please I beg of thee fix the raiding system idk how many more times I can take watching the boss use 3 moves and a bunch of other crap before I even get to use 1 move and please bring back filters instead of making it random

  • Wunderdasrvicbl Wunder (@Wunderdasrvicbl) reported

    @Cinfoni @sleeprhit_ sleeprhit_ said that it is Nintendo's problem, but if they were theoretically CEO, it would be their problem as head of Nintendo.

  • beta_dot_exe beta (@beta_dot_exe) reported

    splatoon 3 has all the tools necessary to easily be the best game in the series so far but nintendo seems to not want this game to be good every flaw the game has is something nintendo could so easily fix but they just refuse to do it

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • Arcanam8 Control Arcana 🐀 (@Arcanam8) reported

    @REDY0TA @NintendoUK No just a regular case I'm going to contact their customer service later for a replacement as it's broken the case. Game is fine but I don't want a damaged case

  • Cinfoni Apolk (@Cinfoni) reported

    @Wunderdasrvicbl @sleeprhit_ yes I did, but currently, as conversations evolve, he is referring to himself in the first person, and Nintendo in the third person, you didn't realize that and refereed to the presented problem as a "you" problem when "you" in the comment you replied was the poster as a consumer

  • Norxy_ Norxy (@Norxy_) reported

    @splashfnr @IMPULS_7 Ohhhh, I started it on my nintendo switch, thats the problem...

  • Cinfoni Apolk (@Cinfoni) reported

    @Wunderdasrvicbl @sleeprhit_ so the joke was that he would be Nintendo, and that would be his problem that is funny, there isn't totally any other way you could interpret that sentence being said on a serious conversation right? after all it isn't ambiguous at all as to what "you" means

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 549 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • alatxiao khoi (@alatxiao) reported

    @huhyunjeans like it definitely has its issues and no one’s denying this but they’re acting like botw and Nintendo made that like sound clip but they didn’t bcus it’s a sample I am going to rip my skin out

  • SonicjanNeo Sonicjan (@SonicjanNeo) reported

    @sleeprhit_ Even better: Nintendo. First Party. Porting. Service. 🎉

  • Leviathan_0mega Ω (@Leviathan_0mega) reported

    @sadweeb @tlozbrainrot i get what ur trying to say... but theres a slight issue with that. Pop artists use samples from either a website, like looperman or other licensed sites, and they credit it afterwords. But as for sampling nintendo, you know how it goes... copyrights

  • HarmedGawa Gawa 🍕 (@HarmedGawa) reported

    @Darkcaster95 He and the other executives could have cut their own pay like Satoru Iwata and the other upper management at Nintendo did so they didn’t have to fire anyone when the WiiU was failing. But that would shown humanity and most corporate ghouls lag that feature.

  • Wunderdasrvicbl Wunder (@Wunderdasrvicbl) reported

    @Cinfoni It's definitely a you problem, Nintendo seems to be doing just fine with it. You may not like it, but its never going to change, so bitching and moaning to me about it is really useless. This is the nature of the free market.

  • rickyjohnston3 Ricky Johnston (@rickyjohnston3) reported

    @NintendoUK have been trying to book a joy con repair for about a month and the website keeps saying there's a technical issue. Can you please advise on how I can resolve this issue?

  • MathiasWolfbrok WolfTV | Mathias Wolfbrok (@MathiasWolfbrok) reported

    @Neoxon619 I mean for demos yeah but I don't think I've really seen anyone but TOs, Nintendo or Sony provide consoles for events, and in terms of review codes usually the platform isn't too much of an issue as long as it's after release (At least between PS and PC)

  • Cinfoni Apolk (@Cinfoni) reported

    @Wunderdasrvicbl "you should've gotten a nintendo" no, they should've made it not exclusive or made their consoles worth it like Playstation and Xbox, as you said, it's a you (nintendo ceo) problem, not mine
