Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • criti_q CritiQueue (@criti_q) reported

    @jultar1000 @NintendoAmerica I don’t like the freemelee stuff either, but Nintendo also has to act like the big company it is. Banning the Splatoon tournament because of the names feels pretty immature. Nintendo is not the worst company out there, but they have big communication issues that they need to fix.

  • the_thing_doer ewan: obligatory christmas pun (@the_thing_doer) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @FinalFantasy crash bandicoot looks weird

  • Roboticbones Drago the robo derg (@Roboticbones) reported

    @Anti_Bullyon @NintendoAmerica Bayonetta makes sense at least while Kirby has broken an entire planet in half with a fist played baseball and caused intergalactic annihilation killed many gods and went on a murderous rampage over cake and then just goes to bed like its his day job

  • samjoeyung Sam Yung (@samjoeyung) reported

    Nintendo about to issue a cease and desist to this orchestra 🥴 #TheGameAwards2020

  • ZMangz ZMangz (@ZMangz) reported

    @antdude92 @NintendoAmerica @FinalFantasy and we're all the happier that it isn't crash.

  • Greyninjear ♠💭Bry (@Greyninjear) reported

    Nintendo really thinks a MEOW will fix everything

  • EssGeeOW sg (@EssGeeOW) reported

    @CanOfWD40 poor nintendo stans :( nintendo banned my illegal online service that uses their IP!!! **** the corporation!!!

  • LordSizor GroovySoap (@LordSizor) reported

    @Mikeizzg @elscorchy @NintendoAmerica I feel like crash was a decent choice as a candidate though at least. Out of those characters there I feel like the most believable choices they choose would be Crash and Bandana Dee.

  • LeCreamy2 Le Creamy (the "serious" gamer) (@LeCreamy2) reported

    @SteveR1012 @caavity2 @NintendoAmerica True but I'm not gonna go on a rant on how my favorite character didnt go in even though it would be nice to finally see all major companies having a rep in the game (despite the fact crash basically sold out to all consoles already so he really isnt exclusive)

  • napcakes2 Yueltide Napcakes - BLM (@napcakes2) reported

    this is to promote the nintendo music streaming service

  • four4ward 🔞フォーワード🔞 (@four4ward) reported

    MFW people complain about Nintendo's strict enforcement to protect their IP while whoever are infringing their IP are also making money off of it and think that there's no problem with it.

  • keylimefly Sunflower (@keylimefly) reported

    @DSzostkiewicz @NintendoAmerica Luckily Crash seems like one of the most likely characters

  • Monty200217 monty5 (@Monty200217) reported

    @Kotaku @DannerM5 My only problem is I want to buy the pack but seeing all the stuff that Nintendo is doing worries me

  • ArdentMatt Matthew (@ArdentMatt) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @FinalFantasy Will you be adding rollback or addressing the net code issues? Would love to play Sephiroth online!

  • RadCharzrd Chadical Charizard 🔥🐉 (@RadCharzrd) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Crash

  • SteveR1012 Steve (@SteveR1012) reported

    @LeCreamy2 @caavity2 @NintendoAmerica While thats true, can you not blame people for getting disappointed? I mean people wanted crash and geno since melee! And with the hype with steve and banjo who are ICONIC to gaming, it would only make since for crash to get in, especially because of his newer games.

  • jultar1000 JULTAR100 (@jultar1000) reported

    @Pabmyster04 @Zari_Wari @NintendoAmerica your voice is about as effective as screaming at a brick wall, expecting it to fall apart when you scream at it all your doing is looking for nothing but trouble and it's time to STOP

  • drewsmith824 Instinctive30 (@drewsmith824) reported

    @antdude92 @NintendoAmerica @FinalFantasy Honestly if this is the only fighter which most likely is then yeah, we can wait another time for Crash

  • ToonQueen_JM JenMask & Friends(Toon Queen) (@ToonQueen_JM) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @FinalFantasy My thoughts: Come On Crash Reality: Another Final Fantasy character that no one cares about. (Sorry Nintendo, but I’m taking my money elsewhere.)

  • jultar1000 JULTAR100 (@jultar1000) reported

    @filthssb @NintendoAmerica you are asking for nothing but trouble while you bang your head repeatedly against the brick wall it's not gonna happen

  • Jojosnonozone Jeotslay (@Jojosnonozone) reported

    @benjithedreamer @bandicootpage @NintendoAmerica Crash is a Icon for PlayStation and makes as much sense in the game as the characters mentioned above

  • TGalaxy23 TrainedGalaxy69 (@TGalaxy23) reported

    @NintendoAmerica BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO who even wanted this character I was hoping for crash

  • RadCharzrd Chadical Charizard 🔥🐉 (@RadCharzrd) reported

    @BrendanCurry10 @NintendoAmerica That's it? No Crash?

  • jultar1000 JULTAR100 (@jultar1000) reported
