Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ultimategeo45 Jonathan 💭 (@ultimategeo45) reported

    @BrownGlaceon The only games I liked were crash bandicoot and Spyro. I just stuck to the only real system which was Nintendo until they started doin the most makin me need a new system every three years.

  • Zenosuke JSB Zen (@Zenosuke) reported

    Dragalia Lost ending service sometime after the final update is wild cause I always thought that game was doing well. Apparently it's been a struggle financially. I'm sure the Nintendo partnership complicates things for them trying to rework/turn it around.

  • ZFighterAmuro 少年アムロ (@ZFighterAmuro) reported

    @LimeCatMaster Granblue is fairly generous, and that's all Cygames. And I appreciate Dragalia not being a SUPER scummy gacha, but Nintendo also barely advertised it beyond the beginning of service.

  • non_one_c NoNiC (@non_one_c) reported

    @zTotaro93 @bern5678 @NintendoAmerica Yes, and Nintendo also has some issues like many others. If you where going to list "the bad ones" based on stuff that happened, Nintendo would be on the list too. We still buy games from Nintendo because we like them. Just as we do with games from Activision, EA etc.

  • RiKuutuu Rikuto (@RiKuutuu) reported

    @ItzVCiPz @TAHK0 That argument is kinda tiring, nobody gives a **** about a game until it croaks. If this wasn't a Nintendo owned IP no one would have cared because these games die all the time and are never brought offline since they're server based. Want a live service to keep going? Support it

  • SkyloftSword SkyloftSword (@SkyloftSword) reported

    @pariah747 @NintendoAmerica I think there's a good chance, but not everyone cares that much about the quality of the courses. I think the quality could be a lot better but I can't be bothered to speak out that much because its not that big of an issue for me. If you want to do that though go ahead.

    @NintendoUK Is anyone else having issues with payments/payments won’t go through when they’re making a purchase??

  • MichaelMacaw Michael MaKirby & the Starlight Streams (til 3/31) (@MichaelMacaw) reported

    Dragalia Lost kicking the bucket (read: being killed by Nintendo) means we're losing yet another piece of mobile phone Mega Man history. And unlike the older ones which could at least be preserved, this is just straight up gone due to being a modern, service-dependent event.

  • Drac0_Rex Draco Rex (@Drac0_Rex) reported

    @fourhman didn't they copywrite claim a lot of playlists of nintendo music on youtube? or issue take downs?

  • beebee_leelee LeeleeBeebee (@beebee_leelee) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Help! Getting Error code 107-7501 on the Wii U trying to buy the last couple of games. Credit Card says it's clear on their side.

  • bbeetoy Blissybee.com Shop (@bbeetoy) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix joycon drift 💔

  • KateMacAuthor Katherine Macdonald (@KateMacAuthor) reported

    I have had the most stressful of days and all that's been getting me through it is the thought of playing Rune Factory 5 when the kid is asleep. Only, I can't. The game is downloaded but held hostage. #Nintendo, what gives?? 😭😭 (1st world problem, I know!)

  • stephentotilo Stephen Totilo (@stephentotilo) reported

    Nintendo's statement about the DSi and Wii online shops not working. (I'd asked if they were down for good) “The Wii Shop Channel and Nintendo DSi Shop are currently undergoing maintenance. We will provide an update at a later date.”

  • JonnyDemonik Jonny Demonik (@JonnyDemonik) reported

    @SpeedOfBup @Dr_Scaphandre @NintendoAmerica I distinctly remember them saying that they were having development issues and it was gonna take another 2 years to fully develop the store so this was just a place holder. I don't know, I seem to be the only one who remembers it so it is what it is lol.

  • mammontime lex⁷ ∞ 💫 JJK 0 MOVIE GOAT (@mammontime) reported

    @mammonsgris LIKE?? NINTENDO PLS FIX YOUR PRODUCTS. i’m about to buy one that’s not even official and see if they work better 💀💀💀

  • SailorSodium Exo_Eve (@SailorSodium) reported

    @AerisFelidae @KiranTheWitch Also Nintendo was the ones who did season monthly updates. They made the game live service not the community. The community wanted it to be great and then yah. But that didn't happen.

  • FoxinAround Austin B. Fox (@FoxinAround) reported

    @McCartney_NFL Better streaming quality with less games, both are trash to me. Nintendo’s streaming service too

  • Streetplosion91 Streetplosion 🔞 (@Streetplosion91) reported

    @Nubis78479303 And Dragalia is supported by Nintendo meaning it’s force to confide by massive and big gacha standards. Dragalia was not making enough money so it was cut. Hell even when it came out it was underperforming. It’s a money problem. That’s the end of it

  • bern5678 Bern (@bern5678) reported

    @zTotaro93 @NintendoAmerica It’s called a joke I bought these before the issues

  • hipsharky Hannah Clemenson (@hipsharky) reported

    After downloading Nintendo Switch update 14.0.0. I get an error message that says (Unable to start software) when I click into a game. This is frustrating. Is there a fix??? @NintendoAmerica #NintendoSwitch #NintendoSwitchProblems

  • TSRMast3r TSR Master (@TSRMast3r) reported

    @MK8MasterJunjie @NathanielBandy1 @Mallerd_Art It not even bad and even if it against the term of service he’s allowed to switch his region on his switch if he wants to it not like Nintendo Switch doesn’t allow you to switch your region

  • vikt1646 Vikt1646 (@vikt1646) reported

    Hey @dansalvato i dont know if you see this but is there a place i can send a bug report about a crash in the Nintendo switch version of ddlc+ that makes 100% impossible? It always happens for me at that point in the game so its not a one time ting...

  • KanesTheName Kane Brough (@KanesTheName) reported

    Having to replace my Switch after an update glitch broke my last one reaaally put me off playing Nintendo games ever since, especially as I lost all of my data on everything. I guess that gives me a great opportunity to stream a bunch of Odyssey + BotW though LOL

  • Shifter Jason Shifter (@Shifter) reported

    @MatPiscatella Now I’m thinking of an alternate universe where Nintendo expanded their business into internet infrastructure to support their games in the 90s and now we’re all stuck with a “Warp Pipe” ISP and if you need to fix your internet you get a “Mario” to come help you

  • miguel_Banderas Miguel Banderas (@miguel_Banderas) reported

    @Nerusama69 @NintendoAmerica Yes, they are those and the jinjo, but it is as if there is a wall and does not let me take them, I already finished it a while ago in the N64, but here I do not know if it is a graphics problem or a bug.

  • Joadams666 Jo adams (@Joadams666) reported

    @FortniteStatus Colour blindness settings still not working on Nintendo switch

  • LilySerenaPatt1 Lily The Dark Lady Of The Sith (@LilySerenaPatt1) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I got a question why do my other accounts on my one Nintendo Switch console have to link to a Nintendo account when I have the online service which should automatically give me access to wifi and online services?

  • mymonalisas Muun (@mymonalisas) reported

    Sad but not surprised to hear about @DragaliaLostApp ending service. :( I really enjoyed the game but Nintendo was clearly not giving it the support/advertising it needed to stay sustainable. Damn shame because I liked the cast a lot.
