Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • OctoInklin OctoInklin (🔥Team Fire🔥) (@OctoInklin) reported

    [1/2] Nintendo proceeded to ban me from playing online for 8 minutes after having a communication error because of their trash servers on Splatoon 3.

  • r1su_k miles (@r1su_k) reported

    im cloud gamings no.1 defender but nintendo making the demos timed is so bizarre like how do you expect people to give feedback on bugs and problems related to the cloud feature when they dont even have enough time to discover problems. OKAY?

  • sevenfawm Sevenfawm🌱 (@sevenfawm) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Y'all really need to get your connection issues together because 4 connection issues in the span of 30 minutes is ridiculous guys. Another friend said they had 6 within an hour! And this wasn't people disconnecting either it was the servers!

  • Bl00p_Bloop_ BOOper (@Bl00p_Bloop_) reported

    So not only did I just get into a match, it was against my own team?? Then it decided to disconnect me AND give me a penalty?? Nintendo wtf- fix your goddamn servers

  • soma_clow Soma Yukihira (@soma_clow) reported

  • fub3k1 fubu 🇩🇪 (@fub3k1) reported

    why is nintendo putting me against players with top 500 level again 😭😭 they need to fix the matchmaking in splatfest

  • SMiyazakiTTV ☥SerenityMiyazaki☥ (@SMiyazakiTTV) reported

    Just saying Nintendo would be absolute goats if they brought full back compatibility to the switch platform ://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/11/nintendo-considering-various-initiatives-and-further-enhancements-for-the-switch-online-service

  • OctoInklin OctoInklin (🔥Team Fire🔥) (@OctoInklin) reported

    [2/2] This was during an open splatfest battle. My team had 2 DCs and the other team had 1. The other team won and Nintendo proceeded to count it as a win instead of a draw. Fix your **** servers and the fairness of your game, Nintendo.

  • Swappingsouls Swapping muses (@Swappingsouls) reported

    @Prince_of_Valla //Thats why I get digital games on my switch but I'm sure there's YT vids where you can learn how to fix it or send it to nintendo

  • johnlouissmith Lou Smith (@johnlouissmith) reported

    Whatever @NintendoAmerica patched for connectivity issues, it sure worked for me. Hardly any crashes during this #Splatfest.

  • GTJames4ATL GTJames (@GTJames4ATL) reported

    @CraigHarris456 Nintendo has supply issues. They will start selling more In a few months. I can't imagine who keeps buying switches, though.

  • Jake39053945 Jakey!!!!! (@Jake39053945) reported

    @TaborTimeYT Hey tabor, you probably won’t see this comment but you made a video about the deep freeze bundle glitch and I found out you can buy the bundle as many times as you want on Nintendo switch(I’m pretty sure, I haven’t tried it but you can

  • Marcobuncle Marco González (@Marcobuncle) reported

    @OatmealDome Lol, it's like Nintendo fix something but also screw something in the data during an update XD

  • ToonLink1672 Kyle Bradley (@ToonLink1672) reported

    Half the lobby disconnected in my first #Splatfest match lmao Nintendo fix your game

  • dandelionskie Dan (@dandelionskie) reported

    A communication error occurred… Nintendo do kit piss me

  • BlueEyedVibes 🎃Bl̴̈́͒u̶̼̐̌̿̈́̍͝͝e-̸̘̘̳̖͛̈́̀̇Eý̴̽ed Vibe Checker🎃 (@BlueEyedVibes) reported

    @shionshinigami @Colteastwood Jim Ryan(the real problem) will buy timed exclusivity of the big IP and everything will be peachy because it's him. The guy who did away with Japan Studios, fair pricing outside the states, practically handed Japan to Nintendo on a silver platter which WILL affect JRPGs on PS etc

  • BlueEyedVibes 🎃Bl̴̈́͒u̶̼̐̌̿̈́̍͝͝e-̸̘̘̳̖͛̈́̀̇Eý̴̽ed Vibe Checker🎃 (@BlueEyedVibes) reported

    @Mrmaxter11 @parbarito @Colteastwood Proof? Compare the power of the Wii to the Xbox 360/PS3 which it outsold both of. Or the Switch to the PS5/XSX or even the XBOne/PS4. It ain't power selling Nintendo systems, only games. Also they cope fine without COD, Jim Ryan's only issue is a skill issue.

  • gatorbol marxist-nemikist (@gatorbol) reported

    @ihearthestia should i disconnect my nintendo switch from twitter too?

  • Zaruex0 F (@Zaruex0) reported

    @PlayStation Im on my second controller because of drifting. And yall have the audacity to make another controller for $200. ***** fix yo **** first. Nintendo got sued over it. You will too.

  • StrawmanMeBro Strawman Ⓥ (@StrawmanMeBro) reported

    I know Nestle actually does that. But Mario flipping people off, or anything bad, nothing comes from it. Nintendo is still fine. Tesla is fine after a fake Tesla account made a 9/11 joke. Only fake positivity causes corporations problems.

  • qu33rd0gs Pup (@qu33rd0gs) reported

    ayo @/Nintendo why ******** are you hammering me on splatoon for YOUR server issues. ******* fix your damn servers it's splatfest for crying out loud god damn I havent been able to finish a single match for the last TWENTY MINUTES

  • DarklingGaymer 🎄Darkling Gaymer🎅🏻 (@DarklingGaymer) reported

    @prettyboibasit Nah that's a Pokemon crunch time issue since they make games in a year or two. Nintendo only publishes it. If you look at botw which is bigger and probably more demanding than legends arceus the enemies don't have a low fps animation when they're at distance.

  • thejesrivera Eric Rivera (@thejesrivera) reported

    Still annoyed that my Switch is bricked. Fix your consoles Nintendo. 😤😔

  • gwcnpool gwen (@gwcnpool) reported

    nintendo fix your customer support challenge failed

  • AussieD1ngo Kristy BDS Over Life (@AussieD1ngo) reported

    Is anyone else having issues downloading games on the nintendo switch or is it just me? Trying to download my preorder of Pokemon Scarlet, and previously it got to 80% before restarting out of the blue, now it wont download at all

  • PoKanVGC PoKan 💎 (@PoKanVGC) reported

    @professsorpoke new Nintendo club account ? I just tried to use a different email for rk9 and it will let me / use that same email to sign up to Nintendo club ( for my trainer ID ). So from my point of view I can make a whole new account ( sorry if I’m not fully not understanding your issue )

  • buzzjman Jes Taylor (@buzzjman) reported

    When N64 Switch Online first launched, it was pretty messy & near unplayable online. However I'm happy to say that Mario Party & Mario Party 2 online work surprisingly well on Nintendo Switch (at least when playing online in the US). No real issues to complain about, it works!

  • inkling_agent3 💚🤍Lunar🏳️‍⚧️💚🤍 (agent 3) (@inkling_agent3) reported

    Nintendo needs to fix their online service like seriously.

  • kylejaxa kyle j (@kylejaxa) reported
