Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • The_Flying_Kick The Flying Kick (@The_Flying_Kick) reported

    @GenerationGameX I still have trouble believing that this was a licensed Nintendo Show.

  • RainingKhaos Dakota (Helios Solheart) (@RainingKhaos) reported

    @delmontyb The problem I have is mainly with Nintendo specifically. They tend to think their games appreciate like a house. So if something is at $70, its never coming down. But, I rarely buy games at a $60 value anymore. I wait for sales bcuz the market is too saturated to buy games at $60

  • Riku06605218 Riku (@Riku06605218) reported

    @AlexiosVictor @GowlandSwitch @Newmarkomaro True. Nintendo does its own thing. It goes both ways. They can release new hardware at the end of this year if they wanted too or release it a few years from now. But I was told there was a problem in doing that when manufacturing new stuff. Something like pricing.

    @ajolot3 @TheJustinMannRL @Splatoon3Meme5 No it wasn’t. Also what is bro on every team deserves equality. It does just because someone prefers an ink color doesn’t mean it isn’t equal. What you’re saying is it’s Nintendo’s fault for your skill issue?

  • TAHK0 TAHK0 ☕️ (@TAHK0) reported

    @MrGuyTweets I’m not too worried about first party nintendo, they’ll come to the service for sure

  • d_uriele Uriele D (@d_uriele) reported

    @OliverJia1014 I mean if your goal is old Nintendo games... you can jailbreak it. Or hell, install an emulator on the steam deck. Also... it's a common problem: when steam or gog will go out of business, all those games will be gone. Same with the digital download of Playstation/switch games

  • Ballyman91 Bally (@Ballyman91) reported

    But if there was one company that would keep the full subscription price and cut all the content out in one fell swoop it would be Nintendo. Surely easiest way to keep all those people subbed to the service is to keep the content there, not cut it? Definitely one to think about

  • The_CrapGamer The Crapgamer Hi-Fi Rushing (@The_CrapGamer) reported

    @Dasmesee1 @AShortyfei They're already at over 30 million for Game Pass. A completely different service than PS+ or Nintendo. They have the best seller Xbox ever right now!

  • Elementalisman Jack Witty (@Elementalisman) reported

    @LordChiguire @SuperRADLemon Trouble there is, all three different Xeno are published by different companies. Square still has the rights to Gears, Namco Bandai has Saga, and Nintendo who owns Monolith now has Blade. And Square is stupid as hell about remaking games we actually want tbqh

  • MatchaMellowttv MatchaMellow (@MatchaMellowttv) reported

    My continued Nintendo switch saga: I found my games... but now my switch will not connect to the internet no matter what I do. Currently formatting the whole system in hopes that I can fix it 😭

  • ZombiePhoenix2 ZombiePhoenix (@ZombiePhoenix2) reported

    @TheEggman64 Emulation =/= piracy This is still emulation, just directly through Nintendo's service. It's just better to only say that you're not interested in pirating. No need to mention emulating, since you're already doing that.

  • coniplier ConiplierGaming (@coniplier) reported

    the one thing that i have noticed is that donkey kong 64 is not on the nintendo switch online N64 collection. I thought it was both legal issues and nintendo's bias against the character but, 1. banjo and kazooie are on there and it was done by the same company 1/2

  • SyedUpo Syed Tauhidul (@SyedUpo) reported

    @Nomporu @Sturgess1A @JackaryDraws You see I have no issue with those people. They're cool. Issue is the ones who goes "You paid $40 for a Nintendo game lol. I play it for free on emulator. What a fanboy you are".

  • curiousquail cohost.org/curiousquail (@curiousquail) reported

    the biggest mistake nintendo made in regards to the 1993 Mario movie was not releasing a 'Mario The Movie The Game'; let's hope that after 30 years they've learned the error of their ways

  • RobSmithson6 Rob Smithson (@RobSmithson6) reported

    Hey, @NintendoAmerica—why aren’t the original Metroid devs credited on the remaster? Fix this.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 572 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • HelloImLuigi1 Hello I'm Luigi (@HelloImLuigi1) reported

    @SplatoonNA Remember, kids, there is no financial reason why Nintendo would rig the splatfest, so stop saying splatfest are rigged. Say that there was prob a glitch in the system knowing Nintendos online

  • JuanpaDraws Juan Pablo (@JuanpaDraws) reported

    Juwt to be clear, I'm saying this because I'm totally sure that there will be reviewers saying that this is a "commercial from Nintendo" or "the fan service destroyed this movie"

  • Rshndrgn Rashan Dragoness (@Rshndrgn) reported

    @Zyleeth I've only known about this game from an issue of nintendo power when it was ported

  • scythe629 Scythe629 - I do twitch tho (@scythe629) reported

    When Nintendo remakes Super Metroid, I feel this would be the safest protocol: 1. Keep it EXACTLY the same. Research Speedruns to make sure that every glitch, sequence break, and exploit is still possible. 2. Since nobody likes an exact remake, make an ADDITIONAL, SEPARATE--

  • Enolis_ Enolis 🦊 (@Enolis_) reported

    Nintendo really thought it would be a good idea to add divine beast segments to age of calamity when the game already had major framerate issues

  • TheLEGObrick_ TheLEGObrick (@TheLEGObrick_) reported

    @SplatoonNA So essentially, he is literally just a sentient deep-fried fillet? ... Yeah, sounds like standard issue Nintendo logic... or the lack thereof...

  • KingFishOcean ItsOcean 𓁹‿𓁹 ʰᵉʰ (@KingFishOcean) reported

    @deadheaddraven @NintendoUK Nintendo….actually fixing drift issues?! What is this madness? 😜

  • DiegoEs2002 Diego (@DiegoEs2002) reported

    @Cryptic_TX55 @LuigiBlood Even as somebody who likes VC and would want at least something like that to be an option, I do wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment especially with the bank for your buck that you get with the service now in 2023 by having many high quality Nintendo games all in one service.

  • _NecroNova NecroNova (🎂🎉 in 36 Days) (@_NecroNova) reported

    @NPickerYT I really hope Nintendo doesnt actually restart their entire retro library from the NSO service on their new console, thatd just be bad business for them💀

  • DeleteTheNats DeleteTheNats (@DeleteTheNats) reported

    @CliffRacer_ @Eat_TheWaffles Yeah mine only died because of a faulty battery. Nintendo offered to fix it or give me coupon for $100 off a DS lite. I took the latter.

  • Worcanna 海のワーカンナ (Worcanna) (@Worcanna) reported

    @sam_animeherald It's based of their...weirdness. I flat out understand and get the 70 buck issue on both sides. Most people do. But Nintendo have the refusal to move on sometimes that makes them a detestable company. That will not listen, or learn. They act at glacier speeds. It's...AAARGH

  • uh_Luminati Pete (@uh_Luminati) reported

    Never wanted a new/different game to play more then right now. Rogue is currently beyond horrible. I’m either stuck with 3 afk Nintendo switch kids, lagging every other lobby, or vsing a cheater. I can’t do it anymore. There has to be something worth playing these days… right?

  • Rokkergurl0902 Rokkergurl0902 (@Rokkergurl0902) reported

    @MelaninMa6ic I definitely have TWO Nintendo DS systems that are in baggies, in pieces, cuz I took em apart tryna fix something lol I got this far following a tutorial that JUST came out lol
