Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • lukedisilva Luke DiSilva - 🎮 🌈 (@lukedisilva) reported

    @Play_Michaelous Honestly I’ll never accept the fact that instead of adding value to a service that was not that great to start with, Nintendo just decided to create a new tier (with a quite a steep price) that is also not that great. 😒

  • CostasLapiotis Constantine Lapiotis (@CostasLapiotis) reported

    @ToastieLabs @NintendoAmerica @NintendoEurope After the above mentioned problem another one has now occurred. Every time I close the game a window pops up after the Nintendo Switch is trying for about 10 seconds to close it and it says "The software was closed because an error". Game however is always saved.

  • Shmoie ¨̮ chloe 🍓 (@Shmoie) reported

    NO TODAY MARTY WAS SUPPSOED TO MOVE IN BUT SOMW RANDOM *** VILLAGER DID 😭😭 nintendo i’m pissed fix this feature

  • Sarxory Sarxory Felidae (@Sarxory) reported

    @orinoxide @rocket_akita Also, the drift is Apparently fixable by putting a thin shim behind the controller pad inside. If you feel comfortable disassembling the unit, and Nintendo won't fix it.

  • bryanjedi82 Bryan (@bryanjedi82) reported

    Say what you want about the pricing of Nintendo’s HD remasters, remakes, or ports but at least they aren’t broken messes.

  • SailxrVenxs Benji (@SailxrVenxs) reported

    God if you're paying for Nintendo service for 64 games I'm so sorry they are selling you straight garbage

  • mikekasprzak Mike Kasprzak 🦖 (@mikekasprzak) reported

    @larsiusprime You're not gonna have much luck shoehorning Guns and Swords into Tetris. Nintendo's Amiibo perfectly summarize the problem of moving things between games: no single game ever mechanically supported every Amiibo. They couldn't. New Amiibo didn't stop after Smash Bros.

  • GamerNicolai79 super gamer (@GamerNicolai79) reported

    @RockstarSupport Please fix the Nintendo Switch version, it is so blurry and unconsistent, i'm strongly diapponted, make the image quality more crisp as soon as possible.

  • hsheth30 shetharsh (@hsheth30) reported

    @RockstarSupport I would like to request a refund for the GTA trilogy on Nintendo Switch. It is a terrible port along with the other consoles that the game is on. Do I have to contact Nintendo for this or can you issue a refund?

  • darlingstardust Shannon✨🌿 (@darlingstardust) reported

    It's unplayable, I'm just glad Nintendo has good customer service and I still have the 3 games to go with my PS2. You just can't beat the original, but man I was looking forward to having GTA in such a portable manner.

  • batraghor Batraghor Tshathoqqua (@batraghor) reported

    I will not be purchasing the new expansion pack by Nintendo for the Switch. The service price for something clearly below the quality of gamecube and wii emulation is unacceptable. What a joke! Nintendo always gets this way when they ride the success wave…

  • dung_dot_mov 🍂mrquisa...?🎄 (@dung_dot_mov) reported

    @csunn3 eh yeah ig ill go repair my pink n green ones but thats kinda a long time, i might just get another pro controller to use while waiting since mine is kinda old and drifting too **** you, nintendo. we know you refuse to address this problem so we're forced to buy more from you.

    It's been 117 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Kiko68270612 Kiko (@Kiko68270612) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing I still have a problem, my friends and I all play on different switches but are not able to buy the ABD and storageshed! We live in the Netherlands and I want to know if it’s because of that but I doubt it

  • Oku_the_Fox Oku (@Oku_the_Fox) reported

    Nintendo should probably fix the switchs account stuff because the console wont let me get mature games because it thinks Im still underage like when i got it so I had to make a new account with an older age so I could actually get games I wanted that my main account cant get

  • ChurchOfLesbian First Church Of Lesbianism 🏳️‍⚧️🧡🤍💜 (@ChurchOfLesbian) reported

    @NashRomi Funny how both Nintendo and Xbox both got severe stick drift problems in the same generation when that absolutely should not be a problem in this age

  • purchase_jack Jack Alan Purchase (@purchase_jack) reported

    @Kranitoko @XboxP3 He still has a platform and service to push. Its about him wanting to draw people into his ecosystem. Just like playstation and Nintendo but it only seems like people have a problem when xbox does it.

  • Ravage656 Ravage656 (@Ravage656) reported

    @kingbdogz I personally still have persistence issues with trader llamas flooding nearby caves, yet that issue has remained “unsolved” on the bug reporting site for years on Nintendo switch. So every time they spawn I have to slay them on sight.

  • ezioisntcool56 Ezio (@ezioisntcool56) reported

    I have 3 Nintendo 64 controllers and they're all broken on different ways I hate controllers

  • doubutsunom0ri georgia ૮ • ﻌ - ა (@doubutsunom0ri) reported

    had a guy over to fix my radiators and nintendo came up in conversation. i said i play animal crossing and he asked what it is so i showed him and he said it made his day 😭🥺

  • big_JAM7 Big J (@big_JAM7) reported

    @NintendoUK @NintendoEurope is by far the worst customer service set up I have ever experienced. Take my money for a repair then can't tell me anything, no status update, no contact details, just an online form that gets you nowhere. I will not be buying nintendo products again

  • CleverAndDriven 🦇 Asher 🦇 (@CleverAndDriven) reported

    I've now had four separate joycon sets experience severe drift, this is ridiculous. I've only had my switch for three years, and all the controllers were brand new. For $90, these should seriously have more than a 9 month lifespan. Fix your products, @NintendoAmerica.

  • Jadenfire Ashley (@Jadenfire) reported

    @Arceus21167577 @Sakamoto3Ryuji @NintendoAmerica Yup & there's a chance you won't be able to buy anything. My mom does the Switch stuff with her card, No idea if it's location or the mail setup we have never been able to get a order to go through, errors with where she is. We had no issue with the old way that was free.

  • forgetful_seal ForgetfulSEAL (@forgetful_seal) reported

    @mantis_bunny @VGC_News Sony and Nintendo do it. Why not MS? I don't see the problem here.

  • brandoninomtzzz brandonino (@brandoninomtzzz) reported

    @pcgamer Until Take Two pulls a Nintendo and sues them for trying to fix a game

  • nickostrem Nick Ostrem (@nickostrem) reported

    This isn’t just a Deathloop problem. It has the biggest cut in the shortest time, but if you look at the rest of the ad, almost all of the games are from 2021, except for the Nintendo games. They hold their value. Not a surprise to anyone who has ever owned a Nintendo console.

  • DiabloLords WarLyric (@DiabloLords) reported

    @RockstarSupport Fix the Nintendo Switch versions they are unplayable the lag and performance is terrible stop being lazy or refund me!

  • captainjs1089 John Smith (@captainjs1089) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I think the N64 service has a lot of potential. To avoid errors and lag with those I recommend the option to download those games to our console as needed so we can get the peak performance needed to run them. Streaming takes ALOT of memory (as Im sure you know.)

  • BlackHarold420 Black Harold (@BlackHarold420) reported

    @kirbolotl Nintendo switch has always had terrible online connection I stopped playing super smash online cuz of how Terrible it was they need to fix their whole online service
