Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • KoriCongo Good Morning, Kori! (@KoriCongo) reported

    Yes, I really did remade this to fix typos and put Famicom Detective Club up there. You can really tell who are the posers in this mess of a fandom when they legitimately miss out on a major piece of Nintendo history like this...

  • KiraroYuuki Kiraro The Wire Bug ******* (@KiraroYuuki) reported

    @Anything4Orbs @NintendoAmerica You say that likes it's a problem

  • GuyofTheMoon Mama Moon (@GuyofTheMoon) reported

    @hazymazepone I mean, that's good to hear. But it's still a major issue that Nintendo is actively ignoring. Why is it that I have to deal with a non-functional controller I spent more money on than the game I was going to play it with?

  • SpaceCaNolie NolieCaNolie (@SpaceCaNolie) reported

    @Terraria_Logic @DRStudiosUK Will it fix the game crashing bugs in large worlds for Nintendo Switch? The game always crashes when I travel beyond East 8,192° in the ocean to the right. Haven’t played it for a year... :/

  • Nefylia Nefylia (@Nefylia) reported

    @rico_eren @NintendoAmerica Please note, that was just bait that he kind of fell for, I have no problem with god of war, just idiots who spend more time complaining about video games on Twitter than actually playing them :)

  • OGiroud_9 Damel (@OGiroud_9) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia For me that's the problem we, Nintendo fans have. Instead of being one against the corporation just how people make Microsoft to back down, we are rather divised and since some fanatics would always find a way to defend, we're keep getting overpriced games

  • mindofmathias Mathias The Wave God 🌊🙏🏻 (@mindofmathias) reported

    Crash and Master Chief Final 2 DLC plus Fighters Pass 3 with 6 more fighters calling it now i feel like we will just keep getting new content until a new nintendo system releases and from there we either get a port of smash or it ends with ultimate as the last smash game

  • CrispyFrise The crispy channel (@CrispyFrise) reported

    @ForRabbid @mk_aln9 @SSBUNews While I do understand where your coming from, don't forget that Activision and Nintendo have collabed before on something similar to smash. Nintendo let Activision put both donkey Kong and bowser in skylanders so it should necessarily be a problem for crash in smash.

  • AdrianIskandar Adrian Iskandar (@AdrianIskandar) reported from Sunnyvale, California

    I have gigabyte internet, I’m paying good money for a great connection and still @NintendoAmerica online is ****, when are you going to fix your online system? Can’t enjoy #SmashUltimate

  • Chkirby12r4 christian hamilton (@Chkirby12r4) reported

    @thephantom28 @LiebeTrifoglio @DrLavaYT You can. No idea how you don't know this. Go ahead and try it yourself since nothing is trustworthy aside from offical nintendo sources! Turn on your online and if players are also online you will see them in the wild area, real time. (with insane lag since online sucks)

  • Aa8__1 Place the name you want (@Aa8__1) reported

    @TSM_Leffen I don't want to be rude, but if Nintendo (one of the biggest and most hysterical companies) is okay showing characters with those proportions, I think it shouldn't be a problem if someone wants to use those characters for that reason.

  • ATVBumpkin Charity Morris-Chamberlain (@ATVBumpkin) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Who do you contact for support when recipe items go missing in animal crossing? I don’t see a method of contact for this issue on the website, I only see forms of people discussing this issue with no resolution. Thank you so much!

  • rust454 rust45 (@rust454) reported

    @Bonecrusher1022 @Jeff_in_3D I've had three procons (luckily nintendo replaced them for free except for one at a discounted price) have the exact same issue with the left analog stick stop going all the way forward randomly. One of them took only three months to happen.

  • afastidioushat Sean (@afastidioushat) reported

    @BellisarioNick @KindaFunnyVids It's a very good game that's bogged down by a lot of annoying issues that should honestly be pretty easy to fix. Fingers crossed that Nintendo actually fixes them for the remaster.

  • SupaFern013 SuperFern (@SupaFern013) reported

    @YorsTrooli_Aori The Xbox consoles stoped making sense to me. If Nintendo’s marketing had problems with Wii U I can’t imagine Microsoft with all The names after the 360

  • BreadyAndWatery 💙 Cyan 💙 (@BreadyAndWatery) reported

    @NintendoAmerica So I suddenly realized that the purpose of the squid roll is to dramatically leap between puddles that are broken by enemy ink or unpainted ground like how they do it in the cgi :)

  • BurgSkeletal BurgSkeletal #FreeMelee (@BurgSkeletal) reported

    @SunshineShawtyy @thegameawards I want Crash too, but Pyra and Mythra are still good picks. Xenoblade sorely needed another character and Xenoblade 2 just barely missed the cutoff to be included in the base game. This is still a Nintendo game after all. Nintendo characters will be DLC every now and then.

  • pellylol dank since 2015 (@pellylol) reported

    HAHA PICTOCHAT, DISCORD IS DOWN THE JOKE IS PICTOCHAT IS AN OUTDATED NINTENDO DS SERVICE. YOU GET IT????

  • kraidy117 💚kraidy💚 (@kraidy117) reported

    Everytime I see that Mythra/Pyra vs Shulk pic, it just reminds me of how ******* awful Ultimates Shulk render is, please god Nintendo fix it.

  • Nuclear14242617 Nuclear (@Nuclear14242617) reported

    @DWD1981 @LivingMadara I specifically said "AAA" instead of Nintendo for that reason, since your issue sounds to be more with piracy in general and a false equivalency with comparing it to physical theft.

  • Berez326 Berez @ Sonic Unleashed (@Berez326) reported

    @SharOverHere_ i think nintendo changed the properties of thunder to only fill 1/3 of the bucket after seeing how broken this is

  • banana_cannon BananaCannon (@banana_cannon) reported

    @PeanutButterGmr And the nintendo switch has a drift problem so NOPE

  • FuzzyQuills Jean-Luc Mackail (FuzzyQuils) (@FuzzyQuills) reported

    @32DaCrow @its_menieb @NintendoAmerica Honestly I wouldn't be too mad with 30fps, so long as it doesn't have insane input lag.

  • ageofoddish 🧡🖤 Deathanie 🖤🧡 (@ageofoddish) reported

    nintendo completely dropped the ball on putting ghirahim in smash back in the day but the good news is that the release of skyward sword HD gives them a perfect reason to fix their past blunder

  • RNGStreams AreEnGee (@RNGStreams) reported

    I gotta say I'm VERY disappointed there is no true ending for Bowsers Fury. I went through the trouble of collecting all 100 Shines and it was the same ending as the 50 shine ending. Shame on you Nintendo!

  • CakeyC2 Cakey C (@CakeyC2) reported

    The problem with Nintendo is the people at the top are business people. Last time this happened was in the 64-Gamecube era, which almost made Nintendo stop console production. We need someone that has the style and care of Iwata at the helm.

  • SockSSBM Sock (Jacob Hunter) (@SockSSBM) reported

    @SpudSsbm @RoyinoZ @NintendoAmerica If they make it so u don't have to go into the menu for every misc item like dusk relics every time u reboot the game and for EVERY item that will fix half the games problems

  • Blank100k Blank (@Blank100k) reported

    @lean_973 Except its not wrong. Even in the game they look like fan service. In smash they unironically have big boobs. Nintendo knew this would happen 100%. It seems very clear that the target was us as an audience. I get that you might not be part of it but many people are. 1/2

  • saffyink saffy 🌈✨ @ thavnairian b*tch (5.4 spoilers) (@saffyink) reported

    @bonpuns ROFL yeah like sending them to nintendo has got to be a pain in the ***. i don't want to do it more than once fix it

  • BlackDGamer1 BlackSageD Sony Still Censors Japanese Video Games (@BlackDGamer1) reported

    @TerribleUndead @TheQuartering @NintendoAmerica Exactly. If you want to identify as male, or female, then be my guest. Everyone's free to live freely & be who they want to be. That being said, to infringe on my identity, to make yourselves feel better. That's when i have a problem.
