Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • NoxyBurd Nox Aeris (@NoxyBurd) reported

    @aejb_ This **** infuriated me, even happened when I bought a pro controller, ended up buying a 3rd party 8bitdo controller so I can reduce the sensitivity and have a functional controller. They seriously have quality issues with Nintendo controllers and they don’t seem to care.

  • amanda_blueeye Amanda J. (@amanda_blueeye) reported

    @Lizzy73025449 Omg 😭 that sucks! Nintendo shipped my cards with paack and I've never heard of them! I've never had an issue with royal mail so it sucks they didn't use them

  • PeterDanParker Internetx (@PeterDanParker) reported

    Yesterday's stream (or at least yesterday for me) was kind of chaotic/disastrous. I originally wanted to play Jeopardy, but my controller wasn't working on that game. Then I realized, it's a Project 64/Nintendo 64 problem after I booted up Toy Story 2.

  • ZenkaiPawa64 Turtlebits (@ZenkaiPawa64) reported

    @Zytrux_1 Tbh for it was never about being funny, I just want to annoy nintendo so they see no end to the meme and see it as a image problem they need to fix/avoid. So they don't pull this crap again. Though when I saw CNN make an article about it, that was genuinely funny.

  • JLessened LessenedJ (@JLessened) reported

    @theotterz thats the problem with nintendo being a "family" game company. if a bunch of people who dont really play games want something to pass the time, theyre not gonna be getting a ps4 with uncharted. theyll rush out to get a switch and a copy of ryuta kawashimas bloody brain training

  • HTML5Arcade iDev Games (@HTML5Arcade) reported

    @KKindiegame I've not had login attempts but did have password reset emails and a Nintendo store registration with my email this morning.

    @AmongUsGame @NintendoAmerica fix the chat please. We can't type.

  • Progame61933212 Pro Leaks (@Progame61933212) reported

    Epic Games is investigating an issue where cosmetics in the lobby appears blurry on the Nintendo Switch

  • basedjawnsunn WIFIGANG | jawnsunn @ double cross (@basedjawnsunn) reported

    it's all fun and games until someone who masquerades as the nintendo of america account tweeting how they will be making efforts to fix joycon drift

  • hoarse_ hoarse (@hoarse_) reported

    I have 99 problems and Nintendo putting their soundtracks on Spotify would fix all of them please god Nintendo I’m begging you

  • JespertheSquid Dr. J (@JespertheSquid) reported

    My copy of 3D All Stars is gone 😥 Nintendo must have broken in last night 😱

  • shar_otb cupid is gæ (@shar_otb) reported

    My mom just took away my Minecraft privilege on my sisters Nintendo switch :] she took away a coping mechanism and doesn’t even know it it’s ok tho I’ll just play when she’s not home to fill the hole that she was never able to fix :]

    @GAMER1984dude @Murderstorm117 @NintendoAmerica Referring back to my ticket comment. I front the money for the tickets. They reimburse me. Pretty common transaction among people. Same idea. Nobody in my entire life has said that's scalping. Selling above price, yes. So just because it's a rare game. Its now an issue.

  • petersvp PeterSvP (@petersvp) reported

    @1ted59 @Kosmicd12 We should try to pressure nintendo to reopen the service

  • itsalaska9 🤡 (@itsalaska9) reported

    Sound like broken records, playin' over, but you promised her Next time you'll show restraint You don't get another chance Life is no Nintendo game, but you lied again Now you get to watch her leave out the window, guess that's why they call it window pane

  • MauriceKBrown1 Maurice K Brown (@MauriceKBrown1) reported

    @Outriders Are you kidding me?!? You still haven't fixed the "stuck on sign in screen" by launch? Game developers are so trash now. With one strong blow, OG Nintendo cartridges would work till they fell apart.

  • itsthatnerdguy Christoff (@itsthatnerdguy) reported

    @RGT_85 My issue is as much as I love Nintendo games the company Nintendo gets away with way to many **** and passes among people especially their blinded Nintendo fans. It’s why I don’t have respect for Nintendo as a company and their fanbase not all but the hardcore ones.

  • SSJ64Mario Son⭐Sonic (@SSJ64Mario) reported

    Alright, so, I am back! After being sent a Cease and Desist from Nintendo, I have been forced to rename myself to Son Sonic, cause we all know Sega has no issue with their fans. Nice to meet you all once again :)

  • Ludus_Machinae Ludus Machinae (@Ludus_Machinae) reported

    @Mkleosb the in built input lag is the worst thing Nintendo ever came up with. the only reason I can think to impliment it is to hide online lag but it just makes it worse. i wish it were just responsive. also why isn't attack + jump short hop a control option. I just want to buffer uair

  • Kynan42828438 The great lasagna god (@Kynan42828438) reported

    @AmongUsGame when I go to play among us on Nintendo switch it continues to say create an among us account but it won’t let me when I click sign in, it says I’m signed in but doesn’t let me play. Could you please help me fix this issue. Thank you!!!!

  • Rival_Cameron Rival Cameron (@Rival_Cameron) reported

    @NintendoAmerica You know, this is a terrible move business and industry wise. I mean if you want to make the physical copies limited that's one thing, but taking the entire game down is dumb. At least offer them through the Nintendo online service at least...

  • Keaniskcrow KeaniskCrow (@Keaniskcrow) reported

    @InnerslothDevs I'm having trouble playing The Among us on my Nintendo Switch keeps saying that I have to make an account to play online is it asking for my Nintendo membership or an actual The Among us account.

  • hanede_yu ハネデュー(Honeydew) (@hanede_yu) reported

    E-liter is stupid. I mean for real how could nintendo EVER put such a broken weapon in the game. It outranges EVERYTHING and 1 SHOTS. Like why?! I peak around a wall for 1 SECOND and DIE! Nintendo needs to nerf it RIGHT NOW!

  • MintyRetroGames 🕹️📺MintyRetroGames On TWITCH!🕹️📺 (@MintyRetroGames) reported

    @Camwoodstock @NintendoAmerica You had 7 months....sounds like a YOU problem

  • SightOfHeroes 𝕋𝕣𝕒𝕧𝕚𝕤 𝔸𝕤𝕒𝕕𝕒 (@SightOfHeroes) reported

    @Synthesis_25 //Ok...what the hell is their problem? I heard a few of those items was top sellers. Nintendo is making a stupid decision. Like sony is stopping game sales on ps3 store etc. Without a way to save those games that will be lost.

  • AIHoloLynx Nicole the AI Lynx (@AIHoloLynx) reported

    I'm now debating about doing that fix to my Super Mario Bros Game and Watch with that wrong subtitles error Nintendo did...so I'm not a great device Hacker to do such thing....
