Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • jizzle3030 James Johnson (@jizzle3030) reported

    @gex_tex @Aaron_Jay83 @IGN I just wonder how far out did Sony know about the parts problem though? If they knew it months ahead of time and still went through with the launch, then that's ****** up...because we all know if this were Nintendo, they would have said **** it we're delaying

  • SamWils19061969 Carlito (@SamWils19061969) reported

    @NintendoAmerica So it's exactly the same as the Wii versions. Not that this is a problem, the box art was already incredible anyway

  • z_mystic10sb BrenZMystic10 (@z_mystic10sb) reported

    @FallGuysGame @StudioMDHR How to fix Fall Guys: - add a ninja skin (with default dance) - add the game to Nintendo 64 console - collab with minecraft and marvel - block Mohamed Enieb on your twitter account (he's annoying) - remove game from xbox 360 and nintendo wii Plz don't hate it's my opinion

  • juIygs milly ♔ (@juIygs) reported

    i replaced my nintendo joycen shells once and now i think i can fix a crosley i am likely ✨ f e c k e d ✨

  • the_thing_doer ewan! (@the_thing_doer) reported

    nintendo is so ******* chummy with activision since 2015 there’s no way crash isn’t getting into smash

  • PlayerEssence OJ - PlayerEssence (@PlayerEssence) reported

    @ChrisRidgell92 What works for Sony and MS won't necessarily work for Nintendo. I don't "have a problem" with Nintendo doing it, I explained why they wouldn't and you have a problem with what I said. Nobody is pretending about anything. Sony got forced into this, not the other way around.

  • RobbieHaruna Robbie Haruna (@RobbieHaruna) reported

    @Vascillia @NintendoAmerica Crash and Spyro were remasters not remakes, but I do agree it should be $50 or $40 instead. I'm gonna buy it anyway though as I never owned Skyward Sword on account of motion controls killing my interest.

  • jaydogg691 Jason H (@jaydogg691) reported

    @Wario64 I know Nintendo’s online service a filthy mess, but not enough to warrant an incognito mode visit...😶

  • LaughingboyLP LaughingboyLP (@LaughingboyLP) reported

    Other companies charge $40 for rereleases because they know it’ll sell better that way. We’re more likely to rebuy Midevil again because we like the game and why not at that price? Nintendo doesn’t have that problem.

  • A_Peterson1995 Adam Peterson (@A_Peterson1995) reported

    @Stealth40k @NintendoAmerica I bought it on PS4. Because I heard of performance issues with the switch port.

  • ChrisRidgell92 G-ROCK1021 (@ChrisRidgell92) reported

    @PlayerEssence Experiment find out if it does. MS did it, Sony did it for some reason you got a problem with Nintendo doing it. Making money is always the best option til Nintendo’s name is in the mix. All I’m saying you flip when it’s them. But I know you gon pretend not to understand so ✊🏾

  • PillarsCrumble Just Josh (@PillarsCrumble) reported

    @babano22 The problem is that who would manufacture the hardware? There would be no reason for Nintendo to stay in the hardware race if their software was multiplat, and they’ve expressed zero interest in going that route. Having options is pro-consumer.

  • Cheesy_Storm Isra (@Cheesy_Storm) reported

    @GirlyWolfPup TLOU2 had its dismemberment system removed in the Japanese release. It's mostly a CERO issue and console manufacturers (uncluding Nintendo and Microsoft) have to follow those rules.

  • Chocobo_Burger Chocoburger (@Chocobo_Burger) reported

    @Asterisk_os @NintendoAmerica Activision has been a scummy company for well over a decade now, nothing new. I ignore everything they do outside of THPS. As for the late Switch release, it was necessary. The game released in BETA form last September. Adding another version would have exasperated the issues.

  • gamesjunkie42 Josh Brown ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ (@gamesjunkie42) reported

    @Panacamanana I think my major issue with MM was that it's nearly impossible to figure out how to even play it without a guide or just lucking into it. I like the idea of the time manipulation, but the game teaches you nothing, which is weird for Nintendo.

  • ThatTimSutton Tim Sutton (@ThatTimSutton) reported

    @novaseat @videogamedeals You can't apply today's standards to a 25 year old game. I've had zero issues with the camera controls in SMB64. I also think Nintendo should have done a much better job updating the games for this release, it's barebones. If you're bothered by old controls, don't buy it.

  • Deej_Best_Girl Mayhem's Only Fan (@Deej_Best_Girl) reported

    @bruh41953516 @tnuctish @IGN Here's the thing, no one thought it was like a Xbox or PS competitor. they believed they were getting a new emulator that was just over priced because it was branded by him. The issue is he LITERALLY lied about the product, it was a cheap nintendo knock off from China. /

  • NinGalacto NinGalacto (@NinGalacto) reported

    @vgmobster @lilal75775 Windwaker was $50. And I honestly think if you truly enjoy the game and wouldnt mind replaying it then the price shouldnt be an issue. Nintendo fans just whine all the damn time

  • JayDeeEmTV 𝗙ɪᴠᴇ ɴɪɴᴇ 📺 (@JayDeeEmTV) reported

    @ringer We should’ve just called it the Nintendo awards, because there’s a glaring lack of crash or Spyro here

  • Amaryllo1 Amaryllo (@Amaryllo1) reported

    @TracerTheSylvy @sylveonzyx but if that is not happening then it means trouble for Nintendo

  • PlayerEssence OJ - PlayerEssence (@PlayerEssence) reported

    If Nintendo ever felt it was the best business practice to put their games on PC, ok fine, I don't have an issue with that. I was simply explaining why they don't do PC gaming right now pertaining to their Switch business. That could change in the future, who knows.

  • messiaheu messiah (@messiaheu) reported

    @aerofnn_ if you give me your EPIC GAMES login I can link it to a switch account and it then redeem it in the Nintendo store and you’ll get it

  • Samsonator2 Samsonator (@Samsonator2) reported

    @PushDustIn I had a feeling that 1. It was bound to happen sometime 2. While we were hoping for Crash, Nintendo would potentially trick us

  • SplashTrashdown Drwsyo @ SPLAT 3 (@SplashTrashdown) reported

    Actually sick of Nintendo’s ‘quickplay’ approach to online games, fix your ******* ranking system so I don’t have to deal with these kids-

  • Ian_ergege linya ✨ (@Ian_ergege) reported

    my second attempt at trying a switch pro controller and it's still **** and not working properly. congrats nintendo, the bootl*g products work better than your originals.

  • Foolish_Banana βαηαηα (@Foolish_Banana) reported

    So I guess Nintendo Switch pro controllers aren't safe from drift? Sometimes when I move the left joystick down, whatever I'm playing still thinks I'm performing an action even though I'm not holding the stick down anymore. Calibration didn't seem to fix it.

  • ZachSharpes Zach Sharpes (@ZachSharpes) reported

    @CyborgMarc @LevelUpBrandon @notaxation Oculus link uses USB C and feels like a normal corded experience. Sounds like a Nintendo problem.

  • Vascillia Mike Richards (educated)(smart)(patient)(empath) (@Vascillia) reported

    @NintendoAmerica NOT worth $59.99 For comparison, the following were released at $49.99 or lower and some have MULTIPLE games: Diablo 2 Resurrected Halo: Master Chief Collection (5 games) Spyro Trilogy (complete remake) Crash NSane Trilogy (complete remake) Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5, etc etc

  • BloodySatana †Satana† MH (@BloodySatana) reported

    so this is a question for the people who have played #daddish either on steam or nintendo switch. is it the same as the free app? bc i had the same problem with among us when it was exactly the same but on pc/consoles it cost money bc of no adds.

  • Samsonator2 Samsonator (@Samsonator2) reported

    @CrazyVGFan1 @CaseyTheVA @NintendoAmerica Tony Hawk tweeted that he was jealous Crash got on new platforms and he didn’t. Nintendo took notice and this happened.
