Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BuggyB0i Thalia (Tired) (@BuggyB0i) reported

    @pokedude1110 @OirishJedi @nintendolife Which makes sense, xbox doesn't have a huge market in japan so no xbos. I remember a similar issue with Square Enix concerning Kingdom Hearts, they were releasing games across sony and nintendo platforms in the weirdest way, only recently making those games relatively accessable

  • Sliider3 BΞN - H○RIZON LORΞ (@Sliider3) reported

    @PaulTassi @Forbes releasing a game day 1 on pc devalues the console. just like releasing day 1 on a sub service devalues the game. and this is precisely why neither sony nor nintendo do it. notice sony & nintendo are always on the top of console sale charts. exclusives keep their ecosystem strong.

  • Official_PSASD Official-PSASD | #AllStarsRound2 (@Official_PSASD) reported

    @CressOfLight @stlcty03 @PlayStation Yeah, then maybe Sony/PlayStation could release Crash Bandicoot or Spyro in PC (which they made a great deal with Steam) or possibly Xbox or Nintendo

  • blixenn_ Neco Arc Gaming (@blixenn_) reported

    I find it weird my parents don't get THAT mad over my bad grade. I'm dissapointed though. Maybe I'll try to fix myself now and get that Nintendo Switch.

  • kamehaameehaa 𝓴𝓪𝓶𝓮𝓱𝓪𝓶𝓮𝓱𝓪🌒 (@kamehaameehaa) reported

    @kristayeee Send it off to Nintendo and get it fix for free!

  • Achiefment Achiefment (@Achiefment) reported

    @faulkie87 @_KeanuReaves PS4 and PS5 have been broken into. They aren't gonna have to wait for the games to come to PC to pirate them. Just like Nintendo that the 1st switch. Pirating will begin on the platform within the couple of years.

  • MorsGames Mors (@MorsGames) reported

    @Sonikko06 Not really. I mean sure, Nintendo fans are generally very unfunny, but they don't really share the same issues Sonic fans have. Not to mention that what I'm complaining about doesn't really all come from the younger fans. Like when a kid is being an annoying brat you can tell it

  • SBrad8999 S Brad (@SBrad8999) reported

    @vicious696 I hope they do go day and date like Xbox, and Nintendo as well. Only problem I can see for Sony/MS/Nintendo is buying all 3 of these machines will cost more than a good gaming rig, so if that happens you can bet console sales will plummet. Not to mention no extra fees on PC

  • crrhillin C.R. Hillin (@crrhillin) reported

    Imagine: you go back in time to fix your bad hair in your yearbook picture. You come back to find that Skyrim is not available on the Nintendo Switch. “Why would it be?” You have no answer. This message has been brought to you by the Committee for Responsible Time Travel

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 179 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • PhilKryl PapaKryl (@PhilKryl) reported

    @Lecosanne @MrsKryl @NintendoUK They don’t permanently fix it though, I’ve seen numerous reports of people who sent their switches, their joycons away for repair, get them back and after a while they go again. Suppose it’s why that class action lawsuit was filed, eh Nintendo?

  • Matt52687779 Matt (@Matt52687779) reported

    @lemiscate @cryptocom nintendo's online is a paid option with fren codes and lag all the way. Apple is shite but has a direction and is doing things.

  • meltoninthesun emily 💖 (@meltoninthesun) reported

    My almost brand new switch is doing that thing where it goes down 1% battery every one second or faster so I can barely play handheld, does anyone know how to fix this???? @NintendoAmerica ????

  • sarahcbydesign gender woo gerbil #GNUTerryPratchett queer af 😘 (@sarahcbydesign) reported

    @Daniela_A_Wolfe Given they're effectively impersonating Nintendo, there's a chance that they might land in trouble sooner this time, so I think it's worth reporting them for impersonation as well as the obvious harassment and transphobia.

  • fabregaspastore Fabio Alves (@fabregaspastore) reported

    @m_rizky_gumilar @naigally @TrunksWD If we didn't had supply issues who knows. But as of right know it's doing great, and it's aligned with what the PS4 did, which did amazingly well. I just think the Switch will do better. Nintendo could still have 2 more years of Switch selling like this, it will go to 140m maybe.

  • Tutto_Sempai ValentinaLaPapita (@Tutto_Sempai) reported

    @nescartridges Wrong! Friday night ******' was 1. Made by nintendo, so not an indie and 2. Actually about daddy issues, not depression. Check mate 😤😤😤

  • ElsonSpookwagon Elson (@ElsonSpookwagon) reported

    @taemolien Nintendo has console exclusives, but it also still has the problem with joystick drifting. The Steam deck is gonna have all of your PC games on it, but its not out yet and you've also gotta ask yourself if you want to be playing PC games on a portable device or if its more comfy-

  • elitherealist1 TheRealist1 (@elitherealist1) reported

    @RomeGoLARGE The reason why nobody is asking is because we know the answer. Nintendo has no issues moving units, PlayStation and XBox do. If Sony and MS could sell games like Nintendo they wouldn't be on PC either. PC players are already emulating anyway.

  • CraigHarris456 Same people as always...dropping the facts! (@CraigHarris456) reported

    Yes it looks like there will be 2-3 levels for Sony's BWC. Nintendo is charging fity dollars for 64 Games. So Sony fans need to get ready to pay. Sony however looks at it as a premium service.

    @NintendoAmerica your contact unresolved issues isn’t working on my browser. I have fraudulent charges on my debit card what do I do to get help?

  • SheFaerer Vespertrix 💜🤍💚 #ReclaimTheFlag (@SheFaerer) reported

    @Daniela_A_Wolfe The impersonating Nintendo part is curious bc it is literally looking for trouble. However, I imagine they’d get a takedown notice first rather than legal action. Still, I can’t tell what they’re even trying to accomplish with this tactic. It makes no real sense.

  • youtherthyf youtherthyf productions (@youtherthyf) reported

    @taemolien With the steam deck most of your already existing steam library will work(Some games face problems because of anti-cheat) While all nintendo switch will work with you. It will have its own eco system and its own games

  • Jdawg23274103 Skeletor (@Jdawg23274103) reported

    @akkigotdasauce_ @fadelalturki I have 0 problems for older games going to it. I honestly want more PC only or Nintendo only or Xbox only gamers to come to PlayStation.

  • DrDiamondfire Doc 'Breathing Enthusiast' Diamondfire (@DrDiamondfire) reported

    @Moemageddon @MrNobre Me too. I'm waiting just long enough for the first reviews to make sure it isn't a broken mess. I always wait for at least that. But it's a 1st party Nintendo game. It won't be a broken mess. It'll probably be awesome.

    Seven days later, and still no reply over a simple security setting on my son's @NintendoUK Switch. I'm not quite in despair, but really. It's really quite poor service.

    because if someone pisses off nintendo, there will be no end until nintendo is happy that the issue has been PERMANENTLY solved
