Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • UwURainUwU Rain~ ( つ•̀ω•́)つ ~12Ꮶ (@UwURainUwU) reported

    @aShigekuni_ @PjCFrink92 @wootton120 Absolutely nothing, they are just being the exact thing they claim to dislike. People are just unhappy with how much Nintendo is asking for the service, as $50 is alot for some roms and the privilege of using our own internet connection. No one is "getting it cancelled" 🙄🤨

  • BlocksGameRvws Block's Gaming Reviews (@BlocksGameRvws) reported

    One of the (many) problems with My Nintendo rewards is that I've been wanting the Metroid Dread posters, but I have absolutely no way of gaining more coins. I get my 60 per week for logging in, but that's it. And I'm discouraged from claiming anything else so I can save. Dumb.

  • Mewing_Tryulis Trey - In Technicolour where available 💜💙 (@Mewing_Tryulis) reported

    @JeevesBun Link to the Past is out on switch sort of if you get the super Nintendo emulator thing. But you have to subscribe to the service.

  • alice_clawford 🖋️Alice Clawford 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🔞 (@alice_clawford) reported

    @JeevesBun I never got to play it! Is that the new Nintendo switch N64 service? Honestly I'd get it to play Banjo Kazooie again o:

  • bigbrobrah Brobrah (@bigbrobrah) reported

    I honestly don't give a **** about N64 games, because there's only like 2 that I like. If Nintendo really wanted to make me happy, they'd release GBA games as a service. There's like a million GBA games I love.

  • Cupdcake Muffin (@Cupdcake) reported

    @Chris50016 @SuperMarioT_YT Nah, ports would take too long to make and licensing with Disney is most likely dogshit. The investment is not worth it and the Nintendo cartridge prices are not helping either. Its a lot of small issues that made a big one for them which made them not do it.

  • AwesomeUKFacts Awesome UK facts (@AwesomeUKFacts) reported

    @largebakedbean No, and I'm not buying it. You Nintendo fans have no ******* integrity. Every time Nintendo does anything bad you call them out on it, yet you buy it anyway. Take sword and shield for example. I never had a problem with how the game looked or how many pokemon there were.

  • diablomzt Jorge Velazquez (@diablomzt) reported

    @jbh1977 you are very lucky!, it got damaged the less expensive one, I damaged my nintendo switch, I was not able to fix it :(

    @TigheSam When I get Nintendo’s online service

  • KatsuragiSen Sen Katsuragi (@KatsuragiSen) reported

    @nintendolife Nope. Not even Nintendo can optimise their games for it. BotW, a launch title, HAS ISSUES on the Lost Woods. Pokémon runs terrible on the wild area (though that may as well be GameFreak). Or how about Age of (the framedrop) Calamity?

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 96 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Rasby_taken Rasby (@Rasby_taken) reported

    @urbellumx @THESLASHFIVE1 @NintendoAmerica Are u one of those people who agree with the Price of the new switch online service?

  • CharlotteCKT Grandmaster Charlotte 🟧 (@CharlotteCKT) reported

    Metroid really is a ******* weird series for Nintendo. The idea that there were unintended glitch mechanics in the first few games that were cool so they just went ahead and brought them into future games on purpose. Insane. Metroid is Mandela Effect residue.

  • SasamiRari Sasami Rari (@SasamiRari) reported

    @KevinLarrabee Heres the issue. They know no one wants this because no one does! Thats the OBVIOUS REASON RIGHT?!!?! /s Nintendo has done nothing for the fans benefit for the past decade or so. case and point is their subscription service just for VC. They need you to keep buying past games.

  • DarklingGaymer 🦇🖤Darkling Gaymer❤️🎃 (@DarklingGaymer) reported

    Imagine one day that Nintendo upgrade their online servers so we can have dedicated servers instead of disconnecting or lagging. This thought of mine is impossible tho 😔.

  • AudioMistress Mistress Audio (@AudioMistress) reported

    The literal epic gamer moment when Nintendo issues you an official warning over you posting a custom design of the pornhub logo for the public to use lol. I'm doing a community service my guy, and I assume the at least 30 others I saw will also be taken down? Just curious~

  • AllBranGoodness Beandon🌱 (@AllBranGoodness) reported

    @BenLumen @GhormiBear @NintendoUK I think if they just had a normal setting (like this) and a hard setting (the game you're wanting) it would solve a lot of the problems

  • NerotheLime Sedra (@NerotheLime) reported

    39. I have a Dualshock 1 that still works perfectly after 18 years. Joycon drift is a serious, inexcusable problem and it's despicable that it's spreading to other controllers. It needs fixed immediately and the fact that Nintendo hasn't even bothered makes me not want a Switch.

  • a00link Stephen (@a00link) reported

    I get this post could be seen as bait, but I'm genuinely excited to see Nintendo expanding their online service. I'm very excited for the joy my loved ones will experience too. I'm fine footing the bill for it on their behalf with the family plan.

  • MatthewHWoodPhD Matthew H Wood (@MatthewHWoodPhD) reported

    @BoundaryBreak So many ways they could've changed this mini-game for the better. Button spamming, inputting button patterns, not including it at all... but I guess Nintendo wants to cash in on broken joy-cons. I still think we're entitled to a mass lawsuit from the damage to our palms from N64.

  • Insanity0508 Niksanity (@Insanity0508) reported

    @SuperMarioT_YT Im actually disapointed by nintendo i mean its fairly easy to run the kingdom hearts games. The first games would probably only have 30gb thats not much and KH3 would be like 65GB but still no problem that i see.

  • TAKEMILLYALIVE ً (@TAKEMILLYALIVE) reported

    @MezOfSage If you go on the nintendo website theres a way where nintendo will fix it for you for free

  • ThriniT Thrinity (@ThriniT) reported

    @NintendoAmerica 2.0 seriously saved ACNH. I have to say so far ACNH was the by far worst mainline AC game in history. None of the charm of its older predecessors, none of the content of its newer predecessors and countless QoL issues. 2.0 is potentially making it a contender for the best.

  • largebakedbean Large Baked Bean (@largebakedbean) reported

    @AwesomeUKFacts my big issue with Nintendo and especially with this is not only will they get away with it but it's completely random whether it will get any better by the end of the year, no hints beyond "hey Majora's and banjo coming"

  • OtterSeaborne Cruel Angel's Antithesis (@OtterSeaborne) reported

    @zornsllama I mean, Nintendo has some form on seeing piracy as a quality-control problem. That's where the whole "seal of approval" program and the GB trademark screen on boot come from.

  • LoliKanna_ 🌸 カンナ 🌸 (@LoliKanna_) reported

    so I finished writing the Commissions stuff days ago with Paypal, Discord Nitro and Nintendo/Google Gift Cards payments but there was a problem with putting my mom's card on PP so she's going to make my card Should I open em but with Nitro/Cards for now or wait for the card too?

  • lavendersheeps vivian (@lavendersheeps) reported

    @deepbloobersea this literally looks like a scan from an issue of nintendo power but just blown ******** up

  • PS4Revolution The Watchman: AAAA $60 Quality (@PS4Revolution) reported

    People like you who use misinformation to for clout are the problem why video games media is corrupted. Mario & Sonic are owned by their respective companies. Crash is by Universal. Ken Kutaragi said there is no bad blood between him & Nintendo employees. Why do this, bro?

  • TwistedHiccy Hiccy 🔞 (@TwistedHiccy) reported

    @UwURainUwU I've seen people advertise these things on twitter, and etsy is as public as you can get. If there was a problem nintendo would have already long gone after those, they couldn't be any more in your face if you tried.

  • TThunderowl Yellow Owl (@TThunderowl) reported

    @danieldoobs @etkazgi @NintendoAmerica they fix joycons 100% for free
