Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Arcanam8 Control Arcana (@Arcanam8) reported

    @WeeAddy31 @KizaTweets Nintendo have already processed my replacement which is lovely stuff, glad you got yours replaced too. Feel bad for people who get broken figures and won't be able to get replacements

  • ZhugeEX Daniel Ahmad (@ZhugeEX) reported

    On Nintendo: - Switch to be best seller in 2022, driven by key software releases, demand for OLED and other models, and because production issues aren't as severe. - A Switch Pro / 4K wasn't needed in 2021. OLED sustains demand + reinforces pitch of premium device.

    @V4saTV My favorite games are Nintendo exclusives tbh and I don't have a laptop so nothing to use around the house. So I'd like to have it to play Pokemon or Crash Bandicoot games in bed and chill

  • Pdeadgaming DanPDG (@Pdeadgaming) reported

    @NintendoAmerica why does my oled keep losing connection to a ethernet connected network while it is in the dock. i had less issues with a 3rd party ethernet adaptor on the original switch.

    Got rid of my XBox One today, tired of Microsoft's ****** customer service, getting a Playstation 4 or Playstation 5 or Nintendo Switch in the near future.

  • ashleygodbold Dr. Ashley Godbold 🎮👩‍💻👩‍🏫 (@ashleygodbold) reported

    I started on the Lite, bc usually it is more comfortable for me (since it’s lighter and easier to see) but now I can’t hold it up to look at it and my hand cramps when I wrap my fingers around it. @NintendoAmerica please allow save transfers. This is an accessibility issue!

  • LinkofHyrule89 Matthew (@LinkofHyrule89) reported

    @Sonnie_Slim @Stealth40k I just look at the other Nintendo games and don't feel like they have this same issue. There's some sort of disconnect causing it.

  • KirbyKid__ RBG | KirbyKid 🔜 Genesis 8 (@KirbyKid__) reported

    @WhyIsIanBlack Gotcha. When you do that you can actually disconnect yourselves from connecting to nintendo's servers. You can still use the wifi but obviously you can't play any games online

  • TheBlakeNesbit Blake Nesbit (@TheBlakeNesbit) reported

    @KyleMHilliard Nintendo Online is broken and Nintendo doesn't care.

  • Hikari__CL ひかりCL (@Hikari__CL) reported

    @Luna__Sol_ To be honest I don't remember why she stopped, but I think was because of her Nintendo 64 having some problems...

  • GayLittleNoelle 🎄❄️Pandee ❄️🎄- 2% (@GayLittleNoelle) reported

    @Fai_DeFail You should send then to nintendo If we still went to the same school i would have let you use my joycon screwdriver to fix it

  • kash3393 Karshe Yusuf (@kash3393) reported

    @MoSalhan I don't think this will happen completely. Maybe Xbox's subscription service gamepass could come on a powerful enough TV in the future but consoles like Playstation and nintendo want to keep players in their ecosystem in order to maximize their profits. Also playstation and...

  • MrUppercut923 Mr. Uppercut923 (@MrUppercut923) reported

    @Edercomoriginal I already do listen to music from random music uploaders, but I wish Nintendo had a very cheap service for something like there many osts. I want to listen to the new advance wars tunes in April, from the little I heard I know it's gonna be good.

  • FullChicken_ FullChicken (@FullChicken_) reported

    @Ruleof2Review Retro is posting job listings & Nintendo explicitly mentioned P4 in their last E3. Doubt the game is in trouble. It was in trouble between E3 2017 & 2019, hence its development being restarted. Now it's just in development. Around 4 years development is a reasonable expectation.

  • ClinicCapp Clinic Cap 🧢 (@ClinicCapp) reported

    @TeddyRicketson @AlfredoBrownGM I would lol. It’s an add on to Nintendo online. I think $60 total, but that gets you the online service, n64, AND a big library of sega genesis games. Not to mention SNES and NES

  • ShuckleLuck jase (@ShuckleLuck) reported

    Dear @PokemonGoApp and @nintendo Get together and fix the Ho Plus Ball. I am sick of it not auto spinning pokestops 100% of the time and disconnecting frequently. It needs an update and fixing. It’s a bit pathetic considering it’s cost.

    @redmoon1009 Goes back to when Hololive got in trouble with Nintendo. The individual personalities were using the property and had to delete content. It took the company stepping in and negotiating. I am afraid that many more production companies will start regulating more.

  • DIAC1987 Milton E. Malespin, Esq. (@DIAC1987) reported

    @scott0852 @antdude92 Welp, another game that should exist in the Nintendo Switch Online service in the near future.

  • acat_13 dula peep (@acat_13) reported

    i would have zero problems if Nintendo came out with another super mario odyssey game

  • Thunderfang7 Thunderfang (@Thunderfang7) reported

    @Ebicentre Meanwhile, N64 games on the Nintendo Switch lag endlessly. Games as a service is a total sham.

  • xiibo_ NC (@xiibo_) reported

    like i’m trying to transfer my animal crossing island to diff switch and i keep getting errors and apparently i have to set one to a hotspot and make another nintendo account to make it work?? like tf man

  • itsguppy1 jhett (@itsguppy1) reported

    @TeamYouTube i know replying to this isn’t gonna do much but the issue is with the app for the nintendo switch. i am having an issue that literally cannot be solved unless you guys actually put out an update that includes a shuffle feature for playlists on the platform.

  • VengefulReaper OGW Chillin' (@VengefulReaper) reported

    My only issue is #Gamepass I have never liked it and never will. But I know tons of people love it. BUT don't try to force others to buy it. I have seen people try to push Gamepass on others just cause they don't like PlayStation or Nintendo. Seriously stop that ****.

  • TreUltima Franky (@TreUltima) reported

    @See_Jay_Dee_ @mryhrvy I had that same issue. Looked like a sprite from the super nintendo got pasted into the game

  • bookbagladyy Jas (@bookbagladyy) reported

    My agenda today: Clean Fix my Nintendo 64 Play donkey Kong

  • EpiccGamer21 Whoa gaming! (@EpiccGamer21) reported

    Banjo kazooie is a great game. Banjo kazooie played through the N64 expansion pack is the most frustrating experience ever. The input lag, delay and over all awkwardness of the controls makes a brilliant game awful and unplayable. Nintendo please ******* fix it

  • StringPixel Joe DeVader (@StringPixel) reported

    Nintendo could put out their own music streaming service and it would probably be terrible but I would pay actual money for it

  • MDNIGHTNAPRFCT 💀Ya Boi The Barkeep💀 (@MDNIGHTNAPRFCT) reported

    @fvideogames71 I was kid when I got my copy for my Genesis. Loved it but I went to my friends house and he had the Nintendo version and I flipped out how different it was (blood code aside) I didn’t know the word “lag” but yeah it was horrible
