Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LilacNightshade Ais 💜 (@LilacNightshade) reported

    ✨Tw: ED✨ Think my issues stemmed from wii fit telling me I was obese at 10 years old xoxo thanks @NintendoUK

  • OrangeAndInsane Nabil Who Draws Stuff (@OrangeAndInsane) reported

    @ingle_neil By sending it away and not having it for weeks, all while Nintendo denies that it is a common issue? Doesn't sound like a great system to me.

  • Reecee_yt New Reecee Snap (@Reecee_yt) reported

    @DemeechYT @loogi_07 The Wii was definitely one of Nintendo’s best consoles but it did have a shovelware problem, though it’s actually a pretty similar shovelware problem to what the Switch has now.

  • Dimasalanggggg lol (@Dimasalanggggg) reported

    @legorgeousgoon @brainwashedjoe @hasanthehun That's the thing that has always baffled me, even used BOTW in my country sells for around $40 (original price is about $55). The problem is people buy used nintendo games at high prices. If no one bought it at $50 used, no one would sell it at $50 used.

  • SonicMemer1103 SuperSonicGamer03 (@SonicMemer1103) reported

    @eriktuf The problem isn't Nintendo giving people more games, The problem is they're charging $30 for a free mobile game. If it was free, nobody would complain.

  • SpookedTroll MajinTroll (@SpookedTroll) reported

    Thank you so much Nintendo I was trying to have fun with my friend @ZombiEGotLost and then boom, lag and on top of that my joycons just refused to let me do what I wanted to do

  • Fabiel016 Fabiel Casas (@Fabiel016) reported

    @EAHelp Yes still, I have issues with the apex legends code in the nintendo eshop

  • Zcrisis2 Z𝕔𝕣𝕚𝕤𝕚𝕤2 (@Zcrisis2) reported

    Anyone else having issue with the switch and trying to purchase games, tried multiple cards now and get the same error: 9001-2470 Never had issues before today. #Nintendo #nintendoswitch #estore @NintendoUK

  • the_nerd_skull The Nerdskull (@the_nerd_skull) reported

    The only issue I have with StarTropics in retrospect is that it suffers a bit from "Nintendo Hard" syndrome but it's not all that bad for the most part.

  • KaitosNightmare Ryan Jones (@KaitosNightmare) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Can you add gameboy and gameboy advance pokemon games to the store or the online service please, I want them on my switch.

  • typloosion Bob Sagets Son (@typloosion) reported

    @maybedontdotha1 @ChristmasRiver But why do we need it? Representation is important but honestly pokemon shouldn't have this problem because nintendo actually has been good about representation.

  • TomBLock91 Tom (@TomBLock91) reported

    @AndreaPichinini The problem is Microsoft need to do that Sony and Nintendo don't

  • medlli save me from FFXIV crafting hell. (@medlli) reported

    wish Nintendo would make their music more accessible like putting them on a more universal streaming service I don't own an iPhone anymore so the fact that some games have purchasable soundtracks in the Apple Store is meaningless to me

  • NewFranKK FranK (@NewFranKK) reported

    @LiquidGoth It’s mostly a joke on my part I wouldn’t care if he’s in the game or not more so people view him as a gaming icon over other characters it’s more the issue with nintendo fans living in a bubble because I used to be like that

  • MercurysEdge Mercury (@MercurysEdge) reported

    I'm not expecting a response but i thought i'd ask anyways, @OfficialPixARK will there ever be a patch to fix the Nintendo switch port? You guy's have a fantastic game here on a great platform, but the Crashes hurt the game so much! Thank you for your time!

  • michellelynn097 Michelle Lynn Tackett (@michellelynn097) reported

    Sony is having tons of issues, and they don't learn because they have the media and ponies licking their boots. I give Nintendo fans credit, they will hold Nintendo's feet to the fire.

  • GJDegeorge Gabby DeGeorge (@GJDegeorge) reported

    @MaxiCastellini @SciresM @Kaphotics Then it’s the exact same problem you’d have in older games. If you don’t want to pay for Nintendo online which is 5 bucks and most people have for other games, you can do a local trade like you had to do in ye olden days.

  • TheMaractusMan Blubbleroad (@TheMaractusMan) reported

    @ToadallyBosco @NintendoAmerica I really don’t get what your problem is, but whatever man. Bye

  • SauceTl The Legend Sauce ♡♪!? (@SauceTl) reported

    @dawkosgames @JonnyBlox @SteelWoolStudio It’s a big problem I see in the Nintendo community. They have expectations for a game that isn’t even confirmed to exist and then get upset that they didn’t show it. It is a bad precedent.

  • SherlokianWho SherlokianWho? (@SherlokianWho) reported

    @Cedar51015653 @AstralHelios_ @NintendoAmerica Yeah I don’t have an issue with it being on the switch but $30 is absolutely insane.

  • kba41510 K.B.A. (@kba41510) reported

    @_ConorMcDonald_ Nintendo does free repairs for drift issues. Send those suckers in! I’m up to 6 different sets of joycons sent and repaired.

  • ThomasBancroft3 Powerstrike368 (@ThomasBancroft3) reported

    @NintendoUK - i was trying to buy zelda amiibo like the OoT link but they’re all gone from the store now - can we no longer buy them or is this just a website issue?

  • ingle_neil Neil Ingle-Lai 🦀 (@ingle_neil) reported

    @OrangeAndInsane yeah but I mean, I've been sending my joy con to repairs regularly for free so... I think that might just be nintendo's answer "we're happy to fix this"

  • Hastor Hastor (@Hastor) reported

    @ChrisKewlTV @collingall At least use the Gameboy Player Interface homebrew and not the Nintendo disc! Less lag, especially in the speed running version.

  • ShockblasterLOL ShockblasterLOL--Fortnite Leaks and News (@ShockblasterLOL) reported

    The reason these emotes got disabled was due to a glitch going around where you could become almost entirely invisible. I only saw reports of this happening on the Nintendo Switch however I assume it happened on other devices as well.

  • kugyu_louise ( ‘ᾥ’)🎸🔰狩人ルイズ (@kugyu_louise) reported

    @BouncerCat I tried PSO2 on Nintendo Switch, It seems to be useless due to communication speed problems😭

  • thedirecty Directy (@thedirecty) reported

    @mjo0610 @NintendoAmerica No problem

  • PeelyLeaks12 Primal Peelyleaks12 (@PeelyLeaks12) reported

    @sebabdekebab @FortniteStatus I don't play creative all day i just do maps and that's it and second i play on nintendo switch u got a problem with that, huh?

  • SirEvilestDeath EvilestDeath (@SirEvilestDeath) reported

    @reggie_800 Nintendo has been ignoring this common issue for over 4 years at this point...this isn’t going to go anywhere.

  • panda_gem Lucy the Panda (@panda_gem) reported

    @reggie_800 @didyouknowgamin I feel lucky not having this with any of our 4 controllers, since so many seem to suffer from it. Nintendo shouldnt be so idle with such a big problem
