Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • zippedbinders Winter Beast Ted (@zippedbinders) reported

    @BlackMageMavvy @Canadianguyehh Mario 35 is also digital only and Nintendo never discloses digital numbers to places like the NPD. So saying Crash 4 outperformed it when the number they have is 0 is deceptive. I also want Crash 4 to do well, but Activision boasts when they sell a lot and its been real quiet.

  • Leafeon078 Pokemon25 soon!! Sinnoh??? yea idk Leafeon078 (@Leafeon078) reported

    @decidueye496 Ok. Well maybe the kalos remakes on the nintendo virtual reality console in 15 years can fix that

  • zombabwey Zombabwey (@zombabwey) reported

    @Getlucky12341 @GoNintendoTweet I honestly cannot tell if you are implying that it’s not Nintendo’s fault or just saying they have an image problem. Either way please word your sentences better.

  • Cho1Morioh MoriohCho1 (@Cho1Morioh) reported

    @PlayApex I think Nintendo is having issues with the Eshop or something

  • Sierra_Goodlett Sierra Goodlett (@Sierra_Goodlett) reported

    @SartoriusPhoenx @NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing Yes please fix the balloons! I didn't get any of the ice furniture pieces at all. I got the bear statue and that's it

  • Victoor_Pineda Víctor Pineda 🇬🇹🇬🇹 (@Victoor_Pineda) reported

    @WBGamesSupport Good morning. I have a problem with Mortal Kombat 11 in Nintendo Switch, for weeks, my games are not saved in replays except for those I do in Tournament mode. What could be the problem? Thank you very much in advance.

  • AliandrasK Ali (@AliandrasK) reported

    @muffinman3456 Sadly my Nintendo 64 is collecting dust in my parents basement because my Dad doesn't want to give it up. Even though he never plays it anymore. But yeah, time is an issue haha

  • fluxx88 GamingFluxx88 (@fluxx88) reported

    @Dan51278329 @OBE1plays I agree in most part. The Switch hardware is underpowered cheap crap. The joy-con issue is atrocious. The first party games have been a bit meh (yeah BotW is WAY over hyped). Nintendo selling Wii U games mostly at full price is insulting and yet the fanboys keep lapping it up!!

  • PacaroniCheese PacDan (@PacaroniCheese) reported

    @NintendoAmerica FIX YOUR ONLINE PLEASE

  • Pyrofrost 💘 Pyrofrost 💘 (@Pyrofrost) reported

    @FeminineMonk Nintendo will do one of a few things in their situation tho. They will either conform to their competitors, raise the price but not quite as much as their competitors, or they will avoid providing the level of service their competitors provide to keep things cheap

  • sahar_bear n. sahar (@sahar_bear) reported

    a nintendo switch and animal crossing would probably fix my life

  • Foxyhuman_0 Foxy (human) (@Foxyhuman_0) reported

    @ShugaPro_YT @NintendoAmerica @FortniteGame What the sh-- We all handled this problem The movement died when seiropth was released for smash

  • G0DLYLSBN nias (@G0DLYLSBN) reported

    is youtube on the nintendo switch not working for anybody else

  • Bobo29951980 The one percent (@Bobo29951980) reported

    @YoPok7 @NintendoAmerica @netflix Because Netflix is not interested in putting it's streaming service on the switch is the most likely answer most likely

  • ChurchillCheri 💜Cheri-🐝kind💜 (@ChurchillCheri) reported

    @MiraSunrays No. I am horrible! I wish I could but I have no hand/eye coordination and I have issues with spacial awareness...so I can play super Nintendo because it's just straight. Playing anything that is turning around and walking back and forth, nope.

  • DawidTerghaer The Public Enemy Rebranded as Maaya (@DawidTerghaer) reported

    @OrigiGreatness @TM65Claw @R3P01012 It's not Sony. It's fanboys I already told you. Problem is that my feed is always about people talking of Sony and I really don't have time to go look for Xbox or Nintendo fanboys acting like 🤡. Whenever I see fanboys act I step in.

  • S4tyr0s Dimitris Roussakis (@S4tyr0s) reported

    @Nikrc @bioware I really really hope the trilogy comes to Nintendo switch! That little console is capable enough to play ME if u imagine that u can play Witcher 3 on switch and it looks pretty ok ! But if I remember correctly there was an issue with EA and Nintendo and we might not get it !

  • michael0deon Markle Brandt (@michael0deon) reported

    @Rikuson1 Joycon drift is a big issue for sure. Something you'd think Nintendo would've solved already. I've not had drift but I mostly use the Pro controller (one of the best console controllers)

  • AemonValar Aemon (@AemonValar) reported

    @ConcernedApe @Nintendo Any update to what seems to be the issue here? It's been quite a while since you've gotten the update.

  • nadiaoxford Nadia Oxford (@nadiaoxford) reported

    @catwithbeneflts There's some suggestion Netflix made the decision...? I mean, either way, you have a point. Nintendo is extremely backwards and childish. Problem is they're so good at what they do, I just shrug. (Being a very old, traditional Japanese company might factor in, too)

  • Kuribo4 kuri (@Kuribo4) reported

    @TheMaractusMan @mehdigeek_ @NintendoAmerica I don't see the issue with delays. At leaat I know in advance what's coming.

  • loggedonanimal DWIGT RORTUGAL (@loggedonanimal) reported

    @YTBeny @Stealth40k I think it speaks more of what types of internal cultures Nintendo partners with. The Netflix one is notoriously toxic and the leaks alone were likely one issue among many

  • simpbotw bonk 🔨 (@simpbotw) reported

    @nintendo pls fix that i felt bad for leaving another fish alone

  • homofordahomies jamie (@homofordahomies) reported

    my nintendo switch battery might be completely dead and i might have to send it in if they can fix it 😭 i dont even have the warranty anymore fuckkkk

  • Snurplez ✨🧡Alyssa April🧡✨ (@Snurplez) reported

    @jetthejudge @VenturousGamer @EmbersANerd However it isn’t really a Nintendo problem, its an all consoles problem

  • KarlaMorton Karla Morton (@KarlaMorton) reported

    @felipefesantana @NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing They’re trying to keep hope alive after a lot of really bad feedback about the last update. It’s not working, I have no confidence in getting an update that improves the day to day

  • dadx81 Once was a gamer (@dadx81) reported

    Hmmmmmmm......having trouble getting into Nintendo eshop....i get in but then get an error or told can not be displayed.....is this a sign apex may be coming still???...my connections good...hardwired and docked....theres still hope

  • homofordahomies jamie (@homofordahomies) reported

    @purplehyacinthz ok but i dont really wanna risk that so im gonna see if i can still fix it for like a couple more days and then call nintendo support when i feel like crying

  • FavorateGP Cyan Celestial 💙🌻 #bIm (@FavorateGP) reported

    you know considering nintendo's servers are over 18 years old I'm surprised they've done this decently for the Nintendo Switch Like I've only been experiencing huge problems within the past month

  • PecPkmn Pokemon bruh 😂 (@PecPkmn) reported

    Another studio/developer would have a very hard time creating a new generation of pokemon, it wouldn't work. And a different developer wouldn't be able to fix the recent monetization issues, since that's most likely TPC's and Nintendo's doing.
