Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Tonyrocks345 Doryan (@Tonyrocks345) reported

    @GidyTheGreat @SaberFencingDad @InfernoOmni Even if Nintendo doesn't listen. It is better to try than to do nothing if and when you have the power to do such. In this case, it is clear they can't host the event simply because of legal issues.

  • Gooseman_420 Jojo?!??!??! (@Gooseman_420) reported

    @2dJazz If it wasn't smash this never would have been a problem, Nintendo the true bad guy, but panda did there part to screw everyone else too, panda has some good staff but there needs to be an example made, let the smash scene run tourneys ffs

  • Nate92020779 Emerald (@Nate92020779) reported

    @chompergaming @PMS_Jordan Which should honestly happen more often. Nintendo is a much bigger problem to the game industry than Sony or Microsoft.

  • BigGayPirate1 Big🌐Gay🌈Pirate☠️ (@BigGayPirate1) reported

    @aidencalvin I just want to know Nintendo’s actual problem with SWT/VGBC. I’m not ruling out either a genuine concern on Nintendo’s end or petty/unfair concern based on executive bias.

  • xRedCap Isaiah (@xRedCap) reported

    @HMKilla Whatever they're announcing at TGA was likely decided months ago, before any of this was an issue they might've been worried about. Nintendo announces stuff all the time, no way they actively plan these controversies out lmao

  • roxorgaming1 roxorgaming (@roxorgaming1) reported

    @CarlosShabo @StoolGametime I’d prefer Nintendo and Sony would start doing it. Takes a couple seconds to swap them out with another pair of rechargeable batteries. And when the batteries quit taking a charge, don’t need to order a special battery and open it up to fix it.

  • aidencalvin Aiden (@aidencalvin) reported

    The two things that are true that override everything IMO 1 - Nintendo shut down SWT- whether the Championships was explicitly cancelled or not doesn't matter 2 - Panda / BTS convos about broadcast rights, which represents AT BEST an error in judgement that cannot be repaired

  • claytonrogers44 Clayton Rogers (@claytonrogers44) reported

    My biggest issue with the SWT vs. Nintendo Vs. panda is that there are no receipts just he said she said. This is the most high school drama way to handle this. (Yes I know NDAs are probably in the way) but everyone has jumped to conclusions based off what VGBC said.

  • Tonyrocks345 Doryan (@Tonyrocks345) reported

    @GidyTheGreat @SaberFencingDad @InfernoOmni So what? People had already set plans to go and this happened two weeks prior to the finals when people have already set their plans to go. They can still make a statement and prove Nintendo wrong. Especially when it comes to the potential health and safety guidelines issue.

  • Tonyrocks345 Doryan (@Tonyrocks345) reported

    @GidyTheGreat @SaberFencingDad @InfernoOmni They aren't hosting it, because Nintendo told them they couldn't do so without the risk of legal trouble.

  • bUllybaitLOSEr bio(shawott)🗿 (@bUllybaitLOSEr) reported

    the second i gloat i get kicked from an anarachy match from "connection errors" nintendo cant stand me prospering with an easy as **** weapon :(

  • _Fvllen_Angel_ shadow knight (@_Fvllen_Angel_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica fix your ******* Charizard tera raids we have been doing this raid for a ******* hour.

  • RocknRami Space Cowgirl Rami 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@RocknRami) reported

    There are not enough custom robo games. Please fix this, nintendo

  • XenoYtg ProtoXenoGen (@XenoYtg) reported

    @playpokemon @NintendoAmerica after 1.1.0 pokemon sv patch ive had a lot of raids soft lock and not let us do anything you wanna stop trying to fix things that dont hurt the game and actually fix real problems that make the game hard to play???

  • Hydra_Com_IA Josef Bausch (@Hydra_Com_IA) reported

    Have to return the #NintendoSwitch I just bought because the wifi chip has broken within the first 5 minutes of use. What's the deal, nintendo??

  • Chris61704361 Chris_Cali (@Chris61704361) reported

    @Ruleof2Review Neutral, why would Nintendo launch a new console when switch still selling like hot cakes If they launch a new console they will have same problems other companies are facing with mass production this is just my opinion

  • TD_Advocate TD (@TD_Advocate) reported

    Does anyone actually enjoy raiding in #PokemonViolet #PokemonScarlet ? They are bugged to hell & just not enjoyable from what I am hearing in my local groups. I want to know if this is just us being used to actually good games or a major problem for @Pokemon @NintendoAmerica

  • leamarieduhh Lea (Taylor’s Version) ☀️ (@leamarieduhh) reported

    @NintendoAmerica the enormous amount of bugs during the Charizard raids makes the chances of beating him almost 0. You would think someone as big as NINTENDO would fix this 😒

  • Hydra_Com_IA Josef Bausch (@Hydra_Com_IA) reported

  • gasblasterp Cup Kakke (@gasblasterp) reported

    Well my Nintendo account was hacked again. This time the bastards set up 2-step login **** so I can't even do anything until I can call Nintendo on 10 hours. This is infuriating.

  • rakurai_kumiho Rakurai Amatsu (@rakurai_kumiho) reported

    @IGN when? game has been out how long and nothing has been done, only thing nintendo and gamefreak have done is fix non issues while the game is still broken This is worse than CDPR release of cyberpunk. CDPR at least admitted fault and went to fixing the issue

  • Ablurman Ablur (@Ablurman) reported

    @flowzr91 @DUSKdev Nintendo first party wise is usually solid about there games. Pokemon isn't developed by nintendo just published. Games like Botw or Mario Odyssey didn't released unfinished or with severe issues.

  • Leoproct Leon ☁️ Farewell Dragalia (@Leoproct) reported

    a goodbye tweet when it ended service, thanking all the players for their support of the game. Dragalia Lost didn’t fail because Cygames messed up somehow, that makes very little sense. Nintendo, as the publishers, gave up on the game 1 year into it’s lifespan. For no reason.

  • kainemaxwell42 Kaine23 (@kainemaxwell42) reported

    Found a nintendo world championship 1990 rom and the hack fix to start it with player 1 start, instead of player 2

  • KeremyJing Jeremy (@KeremyJing) reported

    @ddee_ssbu It's worse. Nintendo is telling you that they didn't say you can't come in the building, but you can only get in with a keycard. But they won't issue the keycard to anybody except the guy who's using their name to threaten to take other people's keycards.

  • thompson_buddy LeeHatake93 (@thompson_buddy) reported

    @Naitor_5 There’s the issue. They should release Pokémon games on PC so the voices of people complaining about them are loud enough for The Pokémon Company to give a ****. Nintendo had to step in for Scarlet and Violet because they actually care about their games.

  • Pneumonox JA KEL (@Pneumonox) reported

    Not one for fan entitlement but pretty broken that Nintendo and Panda screw over the community that prop up their games, not even for profit but for love of the game.

  • Naitor_5 Naitor (@Naitor_5) reported

    @MisterAdvenito Obviously, but people are still going "oh dont worry guys, its fine because nintendo's gonna fix it, and the issues weren't so bad to begin with"

  • SpikePoncho รקเкє ☻ (@SpikePoncho) reported

    Does anyone know if Skyrim Anniversary Edition on the Nintendo Switch has been totally fixed or is the upgrade still causing issues with performance? I saw at launch it was a mess in areas like Riften but heard the patch fixed it up. With the patch does it run as well as Oldrim?

  • bradenqr Braden (@bradenqr) reported

    @_gray_47 @JakeSucky What are the health and safety issues? Honestly, that seems like a scapegoat so that they can avoid giving a liscence to the competition. You seem like you're fully trusting Nintendo at their word even though they could be just trying to paint the situation in a positive light
