Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 108Sterne Daniel H (@108Sterne) reported

    @Kyonko_chann To this day I have major issues with Nintendo devices for that reason. At least the Switch allowed for reconfiguring on some controllers. But I have grown so accustomed to the confirm button being in the bottom, I feel seriously handicapped if it is not.

  • CDUltimate CD (@CDUltimate) reported

    @DuckySSB of course i have issues with policies which amplify my distaste but my real worry is the same people who go out and say they hate worker exploitation are clowning people who say they hate nintendo, granted not necessarily for the right reasons, but the sentiment is valid i think

  • lgbtkenobi kermit gulag (@lgbtkenobi) reported

    i like that nintendo made the “describe the problem” box option on the joycon repair form like yeah y’all already know lmao

  • Patcheresu Patcheresu (@Patcheresu) reported

    @Bizkit047 I'm not sure how much you understand about this issue but smash players are actually asking others not to work for Nintendo events so I can understand why he treats her like a scab. I kinda feel a little of the same way but as she said this is just Smash Bros.

  • HolyDiver1236 Unrepetant Pokemon Fandom Dissident (@HolyDiver1236) reported

    @KremlingLady1 Holy ****… It might be something related to the servers on both games, It’s likely a Nintendo server issue on the Android phones

  • RougaOstrovsky Rouga (@RougaOstrovsky) reported

    @SkunkWithTheBun I dont see the problem, blame Nintendo for making him total dad material 😤

  • GabrielTheWulv Gabe ☕︎︎⛥♆ (@GabrielTheWulv) reported

    @ChonkyToad6 Same here, apparently there's an issue with almost every Nintendo mobile game

  • ahalokal aha~ (@ahalokal) reported

    there's sadly nothing we nor the dragalia team can do other than wait for nintendo to fix the servers. and unfortunately they're not exactly the most quick to work

  • DreamTeamApple1 DreamTeamApple 🍎 (@DreamTeamApple1) reported

    @ThatsLeviathan Past two nights I've gotten those server issues on battlenet, but it's been getting better on the Nintendo Switch. All solo play so far. I'm level 81 on my Summon Druid and level 40 on my Hammerdin. I found a wizpike to use at 61. Soon I'll find a shako, hoz and sojs. I believe!

  • GrazeStreams Graze, but spooky (@GrazeStreams) reported

    Need to send my Switch to Nintendo to fix. No longer reading SD cards. Trying to setup an online repair, getting message service is down for a few days. Awesome service Nintendo.

  • radarssbm Michael Gallagher (@radarssbm) reported

    @CarddSD Eventually esports will become so ubiquitous and common that Nintendo's leadership will have to start working towards it, or will get left behind. I think a huge part of the problem is the boomers at Nintendo who refuse to get behind it, but they'll eventually be replaced

  • ogodthatguy Coyote (@ogodthatguy) reported

    @NicHopkins1978 @YongYea You’re paying to rent them and play them. There’s such thing as Virtual console from Nintendo, and being able to buy the games. But instead it’s on their service that you’re forced to pay for, and if you don’t want online. Oh well, you’re forced to get the highest tier for games.

  • PedroAndersonCD Pedro (@PedroAndersonCD) reported

    Nintendo wants to sell me a $30 expansion to their already ****** online service without even putting Tetrisphere in it smh my head

  • valens116 Nikki Valens 💜 (@valens116) reported

    @d20plusmodifier @PropTartMN They do, but Nintendo will fix them. I sent mine in and they work now.

  • BulkyNemesis BulkYNemesis (@BulkyNemesis) reported

    @PokemonSelene Yes its a problem across Nintendo mobile games. Its happening in Dragalia and FEH too

  • subtoconnorpls conar (@subtoconnorpls) reported

    @RomanBigBallerT I do think the problem lies with people celebrating someone working with Nintendo and encouraging it, rather than the ones actually getting the money from them since thats more of a community issue than an issue with an individual.

  • tycobrenton Ventoboxed (@tycobrenton) reported

    @RedMakuzawa The Nintendo shop is going to crash ain't it...lol

  • succupony Rhea The Retropony | BLM | 🏳️‍⚧️ (@succupony) reported

    @tha_rami For ****'s sake why can't Nintendo ever get this stuff right... And worse why can't their fanbase ever admit this stuff is a problem

  • Kirisamexx2 Kirisamexx2 (@Kirisamexx2) reported

    @PushDustIn I think Nintendo didn't want to oversaturate the DLC with big names, which is why Byleth,Min Min and Pyra/Mythra were chosen. If Steve and Sora had mii costumes before their reveals would not have had the same impact, I think that's why Master Chief and Crash did not get one.

  • Zzzzzzz13103888 Zzzzzzzz.. (@Zzzzzzz13103888) reported

    @TB_Jeday That's nintendo's online service for you

  • Firlows Firlow (Werewolf Mode!) (@Firlows) reported

    @JayJwte @VitorHHygo @Pheonixmaster1 Dragalia has also been fucky all day, getting error codes. Apparently true of all Nintendo's mobile games. Not sure what's been going on.

  • ChibiskittyD ChibiSkitty-Donna (@ChibiskittyD) reported

    Is anyone else by chance also having issues trying to play any of the Nintendo app games? I can't get in any of them now.

  • Matthewgaming21 Matthewgaming211 (@Matthewgaming21) reported

    @Mino38513496 @AnUnknownGhost @NintendoAmerica atleast nintendo doesn't lag old consoles out

  • phoenix_6107 phoenix6107 (@phoenix_6107) reported

    @Raphael35XX @PokemonMasters Seems to be an issue with the Nintendo servers for the Android versions of their mobile games.

  • LocoLuchaLobo 4Wolves (@LocoLuchaLobo) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I love Mario party and I'm really looking forward to this release, but please Nintendo fix your online issues! Multiple times me and friends try to play together to only get one turn in and get disconnected! I hope that doesn't happen when this comes out.

  • kazuhasmora Hi zhonglis REAL gf (@kazuhasmora) reported

    @ryujining THE PROBLEM IS I DONT HAVE NINTENDO ONLINE ANYMORE 😭

  • NickDaDroid 🦇NickDroidula🦇 (@NickDaDroid) reported

    @LeonMandala @ahalokal I don’t think it’s a Nintendo account issue though? Considering this issue is only happening on Android. Like I’m able to login fine with my Nintendo account on my iPhone

  • LeonMandala LeonMandala (@LeonMandala) reported

    @ahalokal I am not sure it does. But at least it has the Nintendo account thing going on, so if that goes down then so does the DL login system.

  • Hailfyr3 Armon (@Hailfyr3) reported

    Both pocket camp and Pokemon masters ex are giving me errors. Nintendo fix your servers!

  • _HawkinsXCV HawkinsXCV (@_HawkinsXCV) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix you expensive online
