Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TheLxvxlyBanana Ed. -My Trading Account- (@TheLxvxlyBanana) reported

    @NovaRoyalhigh @Elite_Binds You gotta be careful though cuz who knows when it might break soon and also for me I'm gonna try looking up on how to fix this or that if mine ever breaks when I get a new one so I can fix it since Nintendo stopped doing repairs

  • Vicvillon Vicvillon💜💚 @ SPLATOON 3 (@Vicvillon) reported

    remember one of the biggest problems with Tricolor was the likelihood that too many points were being delegated to the Attacking teams - this means that by lowering the likelihood Nintendo does “fix” it

  • WARNING_BURGER the **** commander (@WARNING_BURGER) reported

    @kjnetical @NintendoAmerica Standard issue kjnetical W

  • doctoroak Alex Winton (@doctoroak) reported

    (Seems rather obvious that they must be solving this specific problem between now and the time they release... but then again, it *is* Nintendo...)

  • BeavzTTV Beavz 💫 (@BeavzTTV) reported

    @Megalonio I did. I tried everything. Nothing worked. It's just broken for no reason. Well other than the fact that it's Nintendo and it's garbage lol.

  • faerieyblossom dovah (@faerieyblossom) reported

    and pisses me off to no end. No less listening to me rant about my ****** relationship issues, so I do appreciate you. Sometimes I forget I only know you online and that’s pretty dumb ngl. Just how close we feel I guess ?? But I do hope the Nintendo direct is giving -

  • ThePontusAnd ThePontusAndersson (@ThePontusAnd) reported

    I was going to stream my reaction for the nintendo direct, but there were audio problem when I was going to start to talk with my friends. I record it, but the big things didn't pick up my audio, so that sucks

  • bluejaketweets BlueJake9 🏳️‍⚧️ (@bluejaketweets) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Stasis reverses time now? I can already tell that's going to be broken!

  • KingLux83 Jack ❁ (@KingLux83) reported

    The problem I feel stems from problems Nintendo has had with Metroid Prime 4 and to an extent Bayonetta 3. Bayonetta is releasing soon but it's too late for me to care about playing it on Switch. Prime 4 has been dead in the water for years but they still keep prodding at it

  • skeletonsteve45 skeleton steve (@skeletonsteve45) reported

    Main problem with the Nintendo direct was that there wasn't enough farming simulators smh.

  • rhyano_ twitch.tv/rhyano_ (@rhyano_) reported

    @CafeDeCheshire1 @Abelx152 @NintendoAmerica Personally, I've never had to sit down and grind in this game ever I think it's just a skill issue.

  • kel_roth Mysterious Z (SSZ ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY) (@kel_roth) reported

    GoldenEye is back and that's all that matters to me. This is a big ******' deal simply because if you know the whole story between the rights issues between Rare, Nintendo, and EON Productions/MGM, than you know how important this is.

  • gusherbug 🌸FRUIT SNACK | ARTIST/PNGTUBER🌸 (@gusherbug) reported

    "farming / life sims is an oversaturated genre" is a statistical error. nintendo georg, who ports 15 million steam early access games a year, is an outlier and should not have been coutned

  • mudron Bill Mudron (@mudron) reported

    I guess last year’s WAY overpriced Nintendo Switch Expansion Pass must’ve worked out in the end for Nintendo since we’re still not getting any more consoles on the service and they’re is still just drip-feeding us bad N64 games once a month.

  • CrossingMinute Crossing Minute (@CrossingMinute) reported

    @MayorMori I'm desperately waiting for them to add GameCube games to their online service. I don't know what it is about Nintendo but they just do not want people to play their games from that era...

  • PedroAGMYT AGM (AquelGamerMexicano) COMMS ARE OPEN (@PedroAGMYT) reported

    When it comes to that, i AM glad Nintendo is pushing the multiplayer. At the end of the day, trial and error is good, the online won't improve if they just quit on it, so i am happy the N64 has been improved both on content and multiplayer, unlike the NES which is sad.

  • Buttcopter Miles "Tails" Prower (@Buttcopter) reported

    @NintendoAmerica That might be cool if all my cards weren't randomly blocked from your store still due to a site glitch last year.

  • TR_Delight93 MASTA (@TR_Delight93) reported

    @IsaEnby Xbox version = 4k more fps / nintendo is same version upscaled ( thats how emulation works) plus online which most games offer on the service

  • MoonlightUmbry Deadly Disastrous Dominating Dark Type (@MoonlightUmbry) reported

    wild for Nintendo to put Stadium 1 and 2 on their service with no transfer ability cause rental pokemon are SO BAD

  • sticklessOTM stickless (@sticklessOTM) reported

    @KMcClells oh boy cant wait to play golden eye in nintendo online lag, oddjob height was bad enough LOL

  • SRosebrace shiori the foot goddes (collab open ) (@SRosebrace) reported

    @Reginaldlacey2 I haven’t played any of the bayo games so I didn’t care much And bruh… you really haven’t heard of goldeneye? GOLDENEYE FROM NINTENDO 64 is coming to the n64 service

  • Thombias Thombias (@Thombias) reported

    The Nintendo Direct was a solid 3/10. Sorry but a little bit of Zelda, Pikmin 4, Xenoblade 3 DLC and some albeit great N64 games coming to the service can't carry a whole Direct. There were just too many of these super niche JRPGs that next to nobody cares about, myself included.

  • ArcticSass M e e p (@ArcticSass) reported

    @YupThisIsAndy @NintendoAmerica I bet they were referring to the Japanese version title making more sense to Japanese people. Because once that stuff is translated to English, it gets obscured again. We're definitely going to be exploring a broken Hyrule.

  • RyanHigginsRyan Ryan Higgins (@RyanHigginsRyan) reported

    @Casey_Brolo To the Nintendo Online service!

  • bandit_o_s_inc bandit.o.s Inc.⚧ || Social Lacuna, Visual Pariah (@bandit_o_s_inc) reported

    Nintendo always makes me feel really off especially with pokemon, the general fan community annoyed me, the company makes solid games but with weird standards, and like, for every new game there's some labor issue there that gets brushed aside by x announcement.. Didney **** abit

  • XunAria1 XunAria (@XunAria1) reported

    @IGN Can Nintendo get rid of cloud versions? This will be lag galore-

  • DeetchyGames Fuecocody (@DeetchyGames) reported

    And people should know that I have zero problems with criticizing Nintendo, but in total fairness this marketing strategy makes perfect sense. And odds are, unless the game sucks ***, it’s going to work just as well as it did the first time.

  • peteyisbaka Petey (@peteyisbaka) reported

    @codybei @NintendoAmerica sounds like a you problem

  • PunkrawkBbob Punkrawk Bbob (@PunkrawkBbob) reported

    @chasethedanger @sailoryen @NintendoAmerica I've never had a problem with it because I understand how development budgets work and live in the real world where time costs money. Base games can be developed alongside bonus content with two different budgets. Lumping them all together because "me wants it cheap!" is naive.
