Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
DJ Damien (@dj_damien) reported@ChrisTheHills Nintendo still seem mostly unable or unwilling to properly capitalise on DLC/games as a service. Imagine how much more money they could be getting from, say, ACNH
-
Mopish the Quagsire Guy (@mopishcobra6) reported@MetroidLovver @NintendoUK The problem is that people like games...? A game being old doesn’t make it worth any less (assuming it aged well, which I’d say Skyward Sword did. People are comparing this to Pokémon Red releasing today for $60, which is not the same at all.)
-
Kazooinyan (Playing Chrono Trigger) (@Kazoorion) reported@OhWzky @NintendoUK Are you stupid or something? Nintendo's pricing structure is so out of date. Everytime they re-realise a game they think it's okay to jack the price up. Port should NEVER be full price, unless they are actually remakes that improves the issues of the original game.
-
GoofierBrute (@GoobyPls89) reported@MorgansTwit76 @Toad_that_memes @NintendoUK games, then I don't see a problem with these games coming out.
-
Jenny G. (@jennygaia00) reportedI need Super Nintendo World to be open in the U.S. soon (once it's safe enough ofc) because I feel like 90% of my problems would be solved by giving Yoshi a big hug irl
-
lupe (@ggamericaa) reportedstill thinking about how it takes me like 10 tries to pass one level of crash bandicoot on nintendo switch that’s so embarrassing omg
-
Cringe (@cr1ngee) reported@NatDoesNotExist @mopishcobra6 @NintendoUK The motion controls were a problem for me less than 1% of the time. An extended tech demo? Bruh is any game with motion controls just a tech demo for motion controls? Is ocarina of time just an extended tech demo for 3d games? Your argument sucks buddy.
-
Drew the Nostalgia Main (@DrewNM98) reportedI think I'm going to take a bit of time to talk about the expectations we should have for Crash Bandicoot when it comes to Smash. Character has a lot of things going for him, but we need to realize that he's still one of so many characters Nintendo has to choose from.
-
Zack113 (@ZackZhang113) reported@Reecee_yt Honestly I feel like Dream Team suffers a lot from its pacing especially in early game. If somehow Nintendo ever decide to make an updated version of the game that fixes those pacing issues DT would be an awesome game.
-
⚡Vet⚡ (@Vet_093) reported@SCrafterKing Yeah that's pretty sad. Considering how ACCURATE was the information he had, Nintendo probably taked action against him and decided to go silent in order to avoid problems.
-
Katsfoter, Communist, Antizionist (@derkatsfoter) reportedTrapped in a broken Super Nintendo game world but there appears to be no win condition, just an endless cycle of incompletable tasks
-
Chris (@mmaballer13_) reported@AntonioPanzett @nattegoya @JohnnyZaccari Why would u"thank him"for buying a piece of plastic/being invested into a rental service You're an xbox shill lol Funny how you first went from a "Playstation gamer" to then a "Nintendo gamer" The only thing you've been consistent on is your agenda for your plastic toy xbox

Mario Alberto Alcala (@mariete1987) reported@AspyrMedia Hello good morning, when are you going to release the patch that fixed the problems that the Star Wars: Republic Commando version has on Nintendo switch? Thanks
-
Video game fan (VGF) 80 (@80_VGF) reported@ProChara I believe Nintendo has lost most or all interest in actively supporting the competitive splatoon scene ever since the melee incident. 2020 overall broke the camel's (if not already broken) back when it came to the way they treat fans and thier anti-consumer business practices.
-
MetroidLovver (@MetroidLovver) reported@mopishcobra6 @NintendoUK you are the problem.
-
ᏒᎥᏕᎥᏁᎶᏰᏝᏬᏒ (commissions open) (@RisingBlur) reported@Yandell_Malave @RavenArcher774 Welp As an avid PS, Nintendo and PC Gamer I have to say... At least XBox has good backwards compatibility on the console side You can basically play every Xbox game ever on that thing and as long as people enjoy it, where‘s the problem? Especially because there will be exclusives
-
kih zee 🖤 (@JayxKoza) reported@DoghouseCorgian i'm fine playing smash offline, online is the real problem because it's borderline unplayable and nintendo won't do anything about it
-
Jon Pendragon is half vaccinated! (@Pendragonfruit) reported@celheals is fine. Just please do it on a service where that is part of the brand. 1 girl has already been banned. She was using Pokemon as part of her brand, and Nintendo took all money she made from that & then warned her to never use their stuff again as they're not to be associated
-
イーブイEvie♀(Torchickens/ChickasaurusGL日本語を勉強しています) (@Torchickens) reportedBy the way, dear Nintendo (at least NOJ) why does it seem NHS (National Health Service) is in your blacklist for Wii U/Nintendo 3DS internet? (Maybe it's regional specific; I used my JP Wii U) Sorry, while it's understandable, I disagree; please take it off the blacklist.
-
Grant (@squirtleshore) reportedbro super mario party online is *** if you have one minor desync/disconnect, the game ends with no results or checkpoint system @NintendoAmerica fix it
-
chris 👾 (@MemoriesIn8Bit) reportedIMHO that's why Nintendo doesn't constantly add new games to their Online Service subscription. Or even new systems. I think they just feel like they'd need to ask for more money eventually. Who knows maybe they'll do that once they got more games & reliable infrastrucHAHAHAHAH
-
Gindy Can't Think of a New Name (@JDogindy) reported from Indianapolis, Indiana@RGT_85 @SpawnWaveMedia @NintendoAmerica It's not the sad Mario face like you see on 78 million other video thumbnails. There's your problem.
-
Micheal/mike (@fuzbuckmicheal) reportedI don’t think crash will be in smash at anytime because 1: Nintendo hates activision 2: activison hates Nintendo.
-
Tarsus 🇺🇸🇹🇷 🔞ABSOLUTELY NO MINORS🔞 (@XenoNanoEntity) reported@notsamwaterman Now... let us see as to how long it takes for Nintendo to issue a Cease-n-Desist before lawsuits begin.
-
David Torque (@david_torque) reported@CoffeeFoxConor It took me 2-2.5 years before mine did. Nintendo will fix them for free though if you send them in!
-
Mattthew Graphics 🦆 (@MatttGFX) reported@ChaoticFire86 @GenosPapa I'm not talking about the in-game model and all, I'm talking about promotional material specifically the promotional art (Crash's render, mural art, etc) is what nintendo will plasyer all over their ads and whatnot to market their DLC, having a consistent look there matters.
-
Ethan Price (@Paradox_EP) reported@xbptls @Jking908 @shieldsjames Lol. Xbox has evolved into a service. PlayStation cloud doesn't matter and Nintendo is selling handheld systems that plays their IP... Console wars are over. Only idiot PS fanboys think this **** still happening.
