Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • jimmythe_tv JimmytheTVFanatic (@jimmythe_tv) reported

    As a kid, I always wondered why the end credits there was a certain bullet creature I didn’t recognize. In the mid to late 90s before I had an N64, searching for walkthroughs online were hard to come by. Unless you had an issue of Nintendo Power magazine to find the secret exits.

  • TheEm0Artist 🎃Marcy🎃🧋COMMISSIONS OPEN (@TheEm0Artist) reported

    Nah because Nintendo has done its own community wrong. If they were to add/fix ANYTHING in Animal Crossing, it would be to add the ability to change your name/island name AND be able to have more than one island per switch. It would make us feel less burnt out tbh.

  • KibblesTheHusky Kibbles the Husky 🔜 BLFC (@KibblesTheHusky) reported

    PS2 is where it is because I never played many games on it compared to everything else. I probably should have ranked the Nintendo Switch lower due to the joycon drift issues, but for the game library alone I'm pretty happy with where it is atm.

  • eeggrollss aeson || still in my flop era 😔 (@eeggrollss) reported

    @NagisaOFurukawa My Nintendo controllers are broken so i haven't touched it 😭

  • mcbean56545 BeanMChocolate (@mcbean56545) reported

    I know Sega especially wouldn’t want any trouble. Hell, they don’t even shut down fan games, they celebrate them. Not even Nintendo does that.

  • Nikrc Nik (@Nikrc) reported

    @thefigprince My experience with Nintendo service has been great. I think it’s worth it. Worst case they can’t fix it and you have to go to option 2 of 3 after

  • badpuffmain weg (@badpuffmain) reported

    @RainingChocolat @danfornace nintendo fr would give a character a frame-4, +12-on-shield, 2-frames-of-landing-lag, multihit combo move aerial and then give certain characters 0 good oos options

  • PlantedWave5190 Jacob Henson 🎂 in 24 DAYS!! (@PlantedWave5190) reported

    @RedDasherCAS What I'm hoping for is Nintendo Switch Online to be more improved and upgraded with the Game Boy family of systems coming to the service. I'm expecting that GB and GBC titles should be part of standard NSO, while GBA games being part of NSO+EP.

  • ThornIrisRibbon 🍄🌿🌸✨Springtime's Finally Here!!!!✨🌸🌿🍄 (@ThornIrisRibbon) reported

    @FM54321 Hey @NintendoAmerica, can you please fix this glitch?

  • XFlameszz 🖤Flames🤍 (@XFlameszz) reported

    holy **** nintendo fix your wifi on anything past window 98 for the love of god

  • hanakomisa Misa (@hanakomisa) reported

    @kotchama I believe WoA not working well on any other arm processors than Qualcomm's is because MS and QC made a deal a while ago that is probably set to expire soon, there was an attempt to run Windows on the Nintendo Switch by imbushio but they gave up due to the memory issues mentioned

  • jaybirdie11 Jaybirdie (@jaybirdie11) reported

    @zachhazard I've never used either service, can you be more specific about what these screenshots show? I see a menu list with a lot of services, what does clicking one do? It's just weird because Nintendo Switch appears there along with OnlyFans and OneDrive.

  • Antheamorganbt1 Anthea.morgan@btinternet.com (@Antheamorganbt1) reported

    Shocking customer service received from Nintendo reference number: 220522-002124 - how can you justify charging me twice for the same purchase of a digital Nintendo game within a 24 hour period for the same account - just wrong! @NintendoUK

  • chattylesbian gender: gay n sleepy (@chattylesbian) reported

    @cyberohero @KirbyInformer @gempaw18 Going through the thread it looks like if you've linked the same Nintendo account to your switch you can get around the credit card end of service by just adding funds via switch as the wallets should be shared. Just get it done before the 3DS EShop permanently shutters.

  • otagoth Philtomato 🍅 (@otagoth) reported

    House got broken in to last night. Someone stole my Ipad Pro, Nintendo Switch and rent money... Everything is replaceable except for the art files that were for the clients and commissions....I'm tired....

  • LordTRex5 LordTRex (@LordTRex5) reported

    This person just save everyone in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, he contacted with Nintendo about the issues with people who actually: Impersonating someone or a streamer. And Nintendo will fix the problem. cna we have respect to this mad kong. @kong_colby

  • lawfulevil_lion lawfulevil_lion (@lawfulevil_lion) reported

    Yo can we all kinda like not buy anything from @Nintendo until they fix their online? Can't choose game types, netcode issues, no competitive support #nintendoistrash

  • Xvault2 Xvault Gaming (@Xvault2) reported

    @Valorian10 @Innthacut My dude....again, excuses. I get what you are saying, but Sony and Nintendo are making it work. They have had time. Time to plan and time to fix things.

  • Angel48041215 Angel (@Angel48041215) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I keep getting communication error.

  • captaintaco2345 TacoDraws (commissions open) (@captaintaco2345) reported

    @LSuperSonicQ This is obscure, but the Nintendo Video service on the 3DS has tons of lost media that has never been uploaded anywhere else Also i've never been able to find footage of the VideoNow XP games for Scooby Doo, The Batman, or Teen Titans

  • DecryptoRhino Rhino🦏 (@DecryptoRhino) reported

    Got my son nintendo switch for bday and im on it more than him. On a crash bandicoot binge

  • FracturedDivide Fractured Fissure 🇺🇦 (@FracturedDivide) reported

    @krikzz I have a Nintendo Campus Challenge rom that gives me an Unsupported Mapper error. Unfortunately, I don't know what mapper it is calling for, but I can confirm that it works on the Jailbreak NES core on the NT Mini Noir. Can send the rom in question if you want to take a look.

  • WatcherJoshua Joshua @ZeldaUniverse (@WatcherJoshua) reported

    @Dylnamic Nintendo could and should still do better, but N64 has always been difficult to develop for. At the very least, they fix the problems as they show up.

  • EiAyeCapn Siji.ø (The Era øf the Løtus) 🌸🌸🌸 (@EiAyeCapn) reported

    @T4kuyuuki Nintendo products can be very dangerous when modified. Please be safe~ although give the things Nintendo has done, I see no issues in taking back from that which they stole in the first place~

  • Omega769Omega Oméga (@Omega769Omega) reported

    @Ultrawing_Vit @gandalfsoda D-Pad or joystick can drift. Problem is the same : Nintendo can't do functional controllers.

  • 87th Ross Foubister (@87th) reported

    I'd played a Game Boy before that, so I'm pretty sure I'd tried Super Mario Land before Hotel Mario, but as a die-hard Sega fan, I was very resistant to anything Nintendo at the time and was more interested in trying the Incredible Crash Test Dummies game.

  • pokemoss_ momoss (@pokemoss_) reported

    @WWEgirl35 @CrisAlexis95 @ElChicoEevee It works if you restart your Nintendo Switch or change the wifi connection but the error appears again after sometime. This update is so bugged 🙄🙄

  • king1091 Cyan Hyde (@king1091) reported

    @NintendoAmerica So we’re just ok releasing another subpar port with issues??? The game breaking underwater glitch wasn’t caught by anyone testing the emulation? Once again, what ******** are we paying for?

  • MFounderz MrFounderz 😊 (@MFounderz) reported

    @Ghost_Leonheart YEA SHE WAS! She was even teased in one of the Batman Fortnite comics 😭 I think it was issue #3? I hate that Nintendo is doing this it sucks
