Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DapperPlatypus Jonas (@DapperPlatypus) reported

    @SpiderScreen7 @Nintendeal Thermos, Q-tip, Kleenex, Band-Aid all have this problem. This is why Nintendo guards their trademark so fiercely because they almost lost it. That and Japanese copyright laws are way different than the US, which is why it seems so harsh to Americans.

  • aceticke aceticke (@aceticke) reported

    @Dakotawiley13 @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA every inkling there has the same issue

  • Yonnitheduck Yonni (@Yonnitheduck) reported

    @CoolMario64612 yeah nintendo couldnt figure out the problem either so they gave me a new switch which WOULD be fine if the pokemon company allowed cloud data save but for some ******* reason they said no so i lost about more than 7 years worth of rare pokemon

  • zombiebroom zombiebroom (@zombiebroom) reported

    @SkeleMann @renjingles ... Japanese game studios really tend to have a tight grip regarding IP-related issues (Nintendo for one), but I have not discovered any popular discussion about this in JPN or CHN community, and I hope we won't see such issue with From Software.

  • msjanebond007 Jane Gilbert (@msjanebond007) reported

    @JamesWoodfield its like watching a church service when toddlers are sitting next to parents - I fully expect him to get his matchbox cars out or start playing his nintendo

  • VitorHe37659365 legaman (@VitorHe37659365) reported

    @ChomperElectric @NintendoAmerica All of crash moveset would be incenoroar neutral special

  • gameman5804 Gameman5804🔞 Commissions (CLOSED) (@gameman5804) reported

    @ZealousFoX No I get that. The issue is that the Contract put Sega in a rough spot. I’m asking why did Nintendo ask Sega for Sonic specifically!?

  • HaydenTak7 Hayden 🥱 (@HaydenTak7) reported

    @TheDatrix124 @NintendoAmerica majoras mask or ocarina of time on the subscription service emulator

  • JellyAce339 JellyAce 💜 (@JellyAce339) reported

    @Nickk_spl Big mood, went from 2241 to 2178 in 4 games as well, I just wanna get to 23 or 24, Nintendo better fix match making in the next game or something

  • testdotai test.ai (@testdotai) reported

  • Motion_Man64 Phillip Del Castillo (@Motion_Man64) reported

    @gamespite I think the problem here is SQEX doesn’t want to put the money into physical copies, which really sucks tbh. I would love to be more hyped for something like Chrono Cross but i can’t when its digital only. Live A Live is being published by Nintendo, which is why its getting one!

  • TheAlmighty_Bup Bup (@TheAlmighty_Bup) reported

    @NintendoAmerica why would I buy the Nintendo online expansion pack that doesn’t fix online at all just for a game I can play for free

  • dreamingtreedmb Matthew McCullough (@dreamingtreedmb) reported

    @NBA2K_MyTEAM I purchased 200,000 vc on my Nintendo switch. There was an error code and I didn’t receive the vc but was still charged for it

  • 2Vynmouz Legume Lad - 1312 (@2Vynmouz) reported

    @TheDatrix124 @NintendoAmerica probably releasing majoras mask on the stupid n64 subscription service

  • ChomperElectric ⚡ 𝗖 𝗛 𝗢 𝗠 𝗣 𝗘 𝗥 ⚡ (@ChomperElectric) reported

    @TheToxicMan57 @NintendoAmerica I want Crash in Smash!

  • _Snoc_ Snoc (@_Snoc_) reported

    @VengyIsPog @biobak64 @NintendoUK also whats your problem with🤓? They did nothing wrong :(

  • lockontech pig ♟️ (@lockontech) reported

    @PSIMax1 also i dont think nintendo buying them would fix anything that isnt the issue here

  • SkeenOnAcid Cxmron (@SkeenOnAcid) reported

    @garymurphy1919 @Charles_Chums @JAAY_ROCK_ are you reading or being a pony again? i’m saying ANY game whether it’s from Xbox or Sony or Nintendo or Stadia should be fixed if it’s broken or giving problems. i have all the consoles and a pc i could care less what platform i play on i just want my games to work.

  • thefoneluvxx ♦️ (@thefoneluvxx) reported

    @VengyIsPog @_Snoc_ @NintendoUK exactly and that's the problem and people will be mad about it so get over it

  • HGemsReviews Drue Dannible (@HGemsReviews) reported

    @GeckoSith That's something Nintendo has a problem with as well. They've got dozens of properties they could make smaller, simpler $20-$40 games out of. Instead, they generally opt for it needing some kind of gimmick, and said gimmick always leads to a $60 release because reasons.

  • Guy52That ThatGuy52 (@Guy52That) reported

    @gameman5804 @NabbitFan730 Said company also heavily supported the GBA, DS, Wii and 3DS and their Sonic games in general outside (especially post-06) weren't as horrifically rushed (or at least obvious about it). And it's not Nintendo's job to tell Sega not to rush, that's Sega's own problem.

  • mcquack306 (Tarnished)mcquack306 (@mcquack306) reported

    @CactuarAllStar @tv_rone And that’s where it makes no sense again. Xbox has to pay for a port but Nintendo switch and playstation get them no problem? Isn’t this up to the publisher, not the platform holder? I don’t know any retailer or company pay for access of goods like this

  • 5anctvm Submit to the Cult, lol 🌐 I #IStandWithVic (@5anctvm) reported

    @gaylcarus You could still ask Nintendo customer service. The worst that can happen is to tell you too bad.

  • Premo____ P (@Premo____) reported

    @Gas01 the outer space punch out 2 wasnt made by nintendo it was actually Beam Software under the supervision of nintendo who ended up disowning production of the game either because it sucked or tyson had lost the world title and got into a bunch of legal trouble at the time

  • Dave19Brown83 David Brown (@Dave19Brown83) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Ok, you have a huge ego if: You talk about other games unrelated to this one. You demand a Direct. Fix online. Xbox better. Not giving this game a chance.

  • Nats_Anthony Anthony 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 (@Nats_Anthony) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @MLBTheShow Hope they fix the graphics

  • JacquesPaught Jackpot (@JacquesPaught) reported

    @JustmeRclol @NintendoAmerica They took it out because people discovered the cloning glitch. They're not adding GWS until clones are properly banned.

  • Senseifeet7 Senseifeet (@Senseifeet7) reported

    @NintendoAmerica please fix this cresselia glitch...... I can't beat the game cause it

  • VengyIsPog Vengeance (@VengyIsPog) reported

    @_Snoc_ @thefoneluvxx @NintendoUK Also what is even more irritating is that you guys genuinely chit chat about the lamest things. You're not even gonna observe the graphics when you're racing so why is it that much of an issue? This is the most MINOR issue you could even talk about, appreciate the DLC ffs

  • azzyfart azzy (@azzyfart) reported

    @rayisdumb i have more of a problem with the stuck up community rather than the game. if you have anything slightly negative to say they stick their head in the sand. almost goes for any other gaming community on twitter, Nintendo, sega, fnf, tf2, etc
