Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SeaJihad John Snow (@SeaJihad) reported

    @GuliKitDesign Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo will never fix the stick drift issue. They make too much money with their current disposable controllers. Solving this issue means a significant hit in revenue.

  • attackonmatch Kappa (@attackonmatch) reported

    @NintendoAmerica when is the downloading issue going to be fixed?

  • crowary_ ben 🪶 pkmn (@crowary_) reported

  • joshjossjsh hermit crab rented dormitory battle (@joshjossjsh) reported

    @spacetwinks When I was a kid I remember loving crash n the boys street challenge and being extremely mad that a kunio kun hockey game got previewed in Nintendo power but I think never came out here

  • JoslynKanyer Take a Syp, Babes (@JoslynKanyer) reported

    nintendo's direct is tomorrow and i'll be at work so if crash appears in smash (doubtful), chibi robo makes any kind of appearance (doubtful), or something metroid related is announced, lemme know. if not, i sleep.

  • Opossum_tales awesome opposum (@Opossum_tales) reported

  • SabrinaSaysShit Sabrina | Clownpilled 🏳️‍🌈 (@SabrinaSaysShit) reported

    People will complain about Nintendo spending a lot of time explaining rpg mechanics while other people throw themselves at rpgs without ever taking the time to learn how the games work do you guys see the problem here

  • equilbriums 𝑹𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑵 (@equilbriums) reported

    ; can Nintendo pls fix their sh*t I’ve been trying to download this game since 24 hours and I keep getting errors 😭

  • DurealTV Chris / Dureal (@DurealTV) reported

    Plans for tomorrow: - Getting my 2nd Covid shot - Stream Bloodborne - Watch the Nintendo E3 Direct with chat It's possible I'll get super tired again because of the vaccine. Shouldn't be too much of an issue though.

  • TheTurkeyKing15 ZTtheTurkeyKing (@TheTurkeyKing15) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix the servers, we can’t download games if some of the servers are down

  • AMInconvenience A Mild Inconvenience (@AMInconvenience) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Is a fix on the way for the latest update? I haven't been able to download anything for the past few days now, and it's getting really frustrating that you guys haven't even acknowledged that it's a problem, much less that you're working on a solution.

  • NightLuigi Awesome Night Shirt Luigi Facts (@NightLuigi) reported

    @nintendofac Retweet if Nintendo’s gonna disconnect before the direct even starts forcing you to get spoiled in youtube thumbnails 3 hours later.

  • BCC26369455 B.C.C. (@BCC26369455) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Crash Crash Crash Crash!!!

  • Xiretha M (@Xiretha) reported

    @NightLuigi @nintendofac You think Nintendo will disconnect from... what? Their video is already uploaded and scheduled to air at a specific time.

  • Kyologist Kyle (@Kyologist) reported

    A good stream, I'd say! Weird internet issues were happening near the end, but thankfully it didn't shut down the stream. We'll be back at it tomorrow for the Nintendo E3 stuff.

  • Unkn0wn_289 Unkn0wn_289 (@Unkn0wn_289) reported

    @DinoNuggetsXD @NintendoAmerica I want Crash, Spyro and Rayman in smash, also it could be masterchief or doomguy

  • Hr3v_ Harriet (She/Her) 💙 (@Hr3v_) reported

    @NintendoUK having issues with error code 2123-1502 on my switch and unable to download anything. I'm not alone! Please work on a fix!

  • g33k0nfl33k Watching #LOKI ⏳ (@g33k0nfl33k) reported

    @pushsquare PS5 doesn’t have a problem. Just as Nintendo doesn’t have one. They’re so successful, they have their own bubble. If Xbox is happy with their current sales, then good for them. Although if we’re being honest, they’re not happy at all.

  • PownicMania5000 PownicMania (@PownicMania5000) reported

    @ddunganda Nintendo selling broken $80 controllers be like

  • AMInconvenience A Mild Inconvenience (@AMInconvenience) reported

    @KeelyMonkman2 I wish they would at least acknowledge that it's a problem, but I have yet to hear anything from Nintendo themselves about this error, much less if a fix is even on the way.

  • BarnesFlam Barnes the Grey Sleeping Tail 🐿️✨ (@BarnesFlam) reported

    If Netflix can't stand Activision, what make you think Nintendo would be able? Just to add Crash in Smash? lol

  • PlokFacts Poggers Plok Facts (@PlokFacts) reported

    Every smash argument right now: "Rayman is gonna get revealed for Smash!" "No, it's gonna be Crash!" "What about Doomguy?" "Masterchief! Microsoft and Nintendo are buddies now!" "It's just gonna be another generic anime guy..." "I'M STILL WAITING FOR WALUIGI!!!"

  • OmegaJarrodX Jarrod - Play Xenoblade 2 (@OmegaJarrodX) reported

    So tomorrow I plan on Streaming Wind Waker HD with a few friends we've been planning this for a while now and it's actually a coincidence that it's on the same day as Nintendo's E3. If a switch port gets announced for WWHD or TPHD then on purpose i'll crash my game at least once

  • JustDiogo Diogo aka Pikapika-2000 #Pokemon25 (@JustDiogo) reported

    @Harmony__Bunny I mean... It lowers the chance to less than 1% really. At most maybe Master Chief from Halo or Crash Bandicoot. Characters from Fortnite aren't appearing because since Nintendo refused them to have a character of them in Epic's game, the same will happen otherwise.

    @onslaughtiscool @NaoSou_BOT Nintendo switch physics issues

  • yuiojhn yuiojhn (@yuiojhn) reported

    @snowbikemike Mike what’s the problem? Will kf fire you if you come to bat for xbox? You’re letting timgettys make outrageous claims that hold no weight. He thinks xbox first party doesnt hold a candle to sony’s? Ask him how he feed about nintendo then, cuz by his metric theyre **** too.
