Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • aviedwards AviPlayz (@aviedwards) reported

    @StarboyHsp Sony and nintendo dont have it on purchased and downloaded games you own except gt7 only on the service games, ps+ and whatever the others are

  • grittyrepublic CJ (@grittyrepublic) reported

    @ImmortalGamer89 DRM isn't specific to Xbox. Or is it a problem simply because it's Xbox? Because these last couple days the coverage sure seems to pretend it's just an Xbox issue, when nintendo and Sony has drm policies

  • Silentpaw09 Silentpaw (@Silentpaw09) reported

    I want to cry. I turned on the switch lite to continue pokemon, after a while black screen with error code appeared saying to restart the console. But it doesn't turn on anymore. HELP I don't know where to put my hands.I've tried everything. #Nintendo #NintendoSwitch #help

  • _TheJR_ TheJR (@_TheJR_) reported

    @JonJGWilson @TheNCSmaster The context is kinda important considering every gen has a big Mario title meant to take advantage of the hardware. The problem is that not even Nintendo knew what to do with the damn gamepad plus it would've been too big of an investment for a console that would hardly return it

  • Ghostrunner18 Ghost.runner (@Ghostrunner18) reported

    @TrainNtweet_ @MldGhost Actually sony also has DRM and so does Nintendo. Digital Rights Management is Necessary for digital/live service games to prevent piracy

  • CalebCrockett Dean Martin’s Hairpiece (@CalebCrockett) reported

    12/19 Anyway, some kind soul went to the trouble of turning it into a rom hack and Luigi can jump higher and also slides a little bit just like he does in Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels. I still haven't forgiven Nintendo for not including Luigi in the original game.

  • TuxTart115 Omega_Penguin1 (@TuxTart115) reported

    @ScottFalco The opening cut scene sucks? Oh no turn off everything cancel Nintendo sue them, make them fix this absolutely horrendous cut scene so the game can be good

  • WillsVincent94 William(s Wish Wellingtons) 👢👢 (@WillsVincent94) reported

    @Nintendo please get the GameCube up on the online service and put these games up!!!

  • Aquasp102 💙Aquasp💙 (@Aquasp102) reported

    @gemrazzled If you ever did end up having a plush of Gem made, that might be difficult if it's possibly a public product since she's an Octoling, which could cause copyright issues with Nintendo. Though I imagine it wouldn't be as hard to just get a personal plush of her for yourself.

  • AlinePiroutek Aline Piroutek (@AlinePiroutek) reported

    @enterzalman This game is great and well done. I still need to play the second one. I would get physical if available here. They could have sold on Club Nintendo if they don't want to deal with supply issues.

  • Proombles RockemSockem16 (@Proombles) reported

    @az_torch For me, this is no problem. As a Lucas main, I can use my down b and absorb the big explosion. This is why Lucas is the best character in Nintendo’s super smash bros ultimate

  • Foxxune Foxune 🦊 (@Foxxune) reported

    @SuperNGuy I believe the big issue was longevity. A lot of people seemed to abandon it quick, including Nintendo themselves seemingly pulling the plug on DLC early, which in turn further hurt the game's longevity.

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • EisnerHero EisnerHeroYT (@EisnerHero) reported

    Should I speedrun Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch? Requirements: Random seed Coordinates on Playing with drift (I have to fix this) (I'm gonna regret my life choices after this) #Minecraft

  • BenShitpost Ben🍟 (Mr shitpost) (@BenShitpost) reported

    Just took my brand new Nintendo switch into cex to sell and I got home and they called me to say one of the joycons is broken and they are only willing to give me £50 for it what a ******* joke

  • benitosierra7 Benito Sierra Jr.🇺🇸🇲🇽 (@benitosierra7) reported

    @SuperMarioT_YT @YouTube It’s more like “Release it now, (add) it later” and I do mean (add) it later, not (fix) it later, these games are not a broken glitchy mess like the 3rd party games the Square Enix’s Avengers, or Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, but these Nintendo games need more content.

  • Brazingamens Saigon Brit (@Brazingamens) reported

    @XboxSupport Your region policy is frankly ridiculous. I am originally a US account user who moved to Korea then South East Asia and it's a nightmare trying even to buy games or pay with local cards. I have zero issues with Nintendo, Sony, Epic or Steam who even let me pay with local currency

  • zapppz Kinzie L. (@zapppz) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Also 6 more sports to match Wii Sports Resort. No one likes live service, time locked content

  • Quirkywriter01 𝐿𝒶𝒱𝑒𝓁 🕊 (@Quirkywriter01) reported

    @JanellWheeler Have you ever encountered a problem when you try to add someone as a friend on Nintendo switch but it says “unable to find friend?”

  • JoshGamnChannel Josh Gaming (@JoshGamnChannel) reported

    @Juanpaup06 @XboxSupport @Nibellion PlayStation and Nintendo don't have DRM and piracy isn't an issue

  • BlkSpikeSpiegel Jamarkis (@BlkSpikeSpiegel) reported

    @JoseOle94 @shanejblair13 You can't really get mad at the angle they play get mad at the people who paid for the systems and games. Nintendo is very big on the phrase "If it ain't broke don't fix it" Nintendo is the only company with a long line of successful handhelds

  • NRostram Ned Rostram (@NRostram) reported

    @caseharts @Dexerto Game Freak has never been great in the graphical department, lagging behind even its fellow colleagues from Nintendo.

  • dumbgan morgan (@dumbgan) reported

    I’m gonna send in a broken joycon to Nintendo to be repaired, I feel like this is a rite of passage or something

  • TokiYoda Web (@TokiYoda) reported

    @LeemerBean @zhellas No I do. The camera, the slippery controls, the *** flying and swimming controls. Mario 64 is so *** that Nintendo couldn't even fix it in Mario 3D All Stars. Mario 64 is a ******* mistake.

  • Pc772202 Pat C (@Pc772202) reported

    @TeamNINJAStudio @NintendoAmerica Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 for Nintendo Switch is broken. Error code 2122-0002 when trying to refresh Shield Depot for alternate skins. New players or new save files cannot access this content, please rectify. Thanks

  • Kirk_McGurk Kirk (@Kirk_McGurk) reported

    Anyone know anyone that can fix a Nintendo switch? I have a yellow one. I don’t use it at all. It just needs fixing seeing that they’re low in stock on them. No scratches etc. mint condition.

  • RetroLogicGames Dan ⚡ RetroLogic (@RetroLogicGames) reported

    @TikiLagoon @Sharito742 It's not my relationship with Nintendo that's the problem, it's aaaaaaallllll the false rumors constantly swimming around the internet. So, is there a POSSIBILITY that this is true? sure. Do I give a ****? meh. I'll reserve my excitement for an announcement.

  • derelictcountry Derelict Country (@derelictcountry) reported

    Although Sony and Nintendo release good games, no one will is a better promoter for Switch and Playstation than Microsoft with their ****** customer service and brittle cloud system that takes people's purchases away from them. I want the company to truly fail at times.

  • vyviid joe biden (@vyviid) reported

    @TokiYoda @LeemerBean @zhellas Nintendo couldn’t even fix it because nintendo didn’t even try to fix it, its literally just emulated with no enhancements on the switch, check out the pc port if you want a proper camera and unlocked framerate

  • MG4M3R l3rvn0 (@MG4M3R) reported

    @benjullb @TheNCSmaster @JonComms That's the thing, at the time everyone was having trouble moving 2d platformers to 3d The way Nintendo did it was either turning them into collect-a-tons or 2.5D plataformers Capcom now have Mario 3D Land/World as a template of how to do it right
