Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • kirbabyman ⭐️BABY MAN⭐️ (@kirbabyman) reported

    @Aaronitmar nintendo needs people to purchase their overpriced service expansion to be able to make the sticks good

  • MrMcPotatoMan Potato (@MrMcPotatoMan) reported

    Nintendo why The 50 dollar price would be reasonable for a one time purchase but it’s a subscription service. Sure it’s yearly but it’s still way too expensive

  • TheSalt6040 TheSalt™ (@TheSalt6040) reported

    @Damioyediran @NintendoAmerica Yeah, I'm definitely not gonna buy it cuz I have a Wii U and PC, but for people who don't have that, it's a way to give it to people I guess. They still should've just made it so it was either $10 each for each extra service, or $20 for Genesis and N64 and remove AC DLC

  • MVP_Creators magnumninja (@MVP_Creators) reported

    @JoJoJosiah_ttv @NintendoAmerica their mad because the price increase has no incentive their giving us lack luster n64 games barely anyone in America played as a kid except zelda and a dlc for a Animal crossing that most people might not even play or own. so basically were paying for a $9 service with a $25 dlc

  • rayquaza36 🎃 Spooky Ray 👻 (@rayquaza36) reported

    I understand yall are mad for the online service expansion pass price but if it justified to get mad over someone who want to buy it? He's defending Nintendo or anything like that so ******* leave him alone!!

  • OrpheusJoshua Orpheus Joshua (@OrpheusJoshua) reported

    Nintendo actually making me avoid their Online service even more.

  • DoomedMadhouse Trent (@DoomedMadhouse) reported

    Man I can only hope you guys saying how much you hate this are serious about your opinions because if you're all like "*sigh* I hate the service but take my money" YOU are why Nintendo doesn't give a ****.

  • jwanimations2 jayden wallace #supportrottmnt (@jwanimations2) reported

    @DynamoSuperX i got ff7 remake and pvz garden warfare along with many other games without an additional cost free with playstation's service so yeah nintendo slackin Hard

  • MasterCWelch MasterWelch (@MasterCWelch) reported

    The Nintendo Online Service hike definitely sank any chance i will subscribe with a newly purchased console. Good job #NintendoSwitchOnline

  • thechurroman27 Joshua Rodriguez (@thechurroman27) reported

    @DgMsYT @JezJitzu @NintendoAmerica I don’t suck up to Nintendo anymore simple. I call them out when needed and praise them when deserved. Nintendo continuously acts anti consumer, between rereleasing 60$ ports, the joycon situation, their once again terrible online service. The list goes on and on

  • Michiru_0513 Michiru (@Michiru_0513) reported

    “hey Nintendo your online service is pretty lacking” “we’re adding N64 and Genesis titles” “okay that doesn’t address the core issue but that’s actually pretty coo-“ “…but only if you buy the second tier for more than double the price”

  • pondlick Cereal Warrior (@pondlick) reported

    @Greebopolips @polaristevo @ArloStuff It's not $10 more a year. You pay $60 a year for ps plus service and $60 a year for ps now. $120 a year total. NSO service is $20 a year and N64 + Genesis is $30 a year. It's $70 more a year, ps now is double the price of the Nintendo expansion pak

  • ecu65045 Sqoosh (@ecu65045) reported

    @InfernoOmni I swear that service better be smackin (knowing nintendo, ofc the hell it isn't lol)

  • Kaotik_Nonsense Mariah Zitle González (@Kaotik_Nonsense) reported

    @Dragonix20_SSB Of course the online service is bad, in a sense it’s missing multiple elements. Nintendo may have a reason for that, or they are in the works of creating something great. But as a Nintendo fan ever since I was a kid, it really doesn’t matter to me.

  • 0FramesOfGALINT cloveR (@0FramesOfGALINT) reported

    in the meanest way possible, if you buy the new nintendo switch online service i will think less of you as a person

  • JeffreyFX0 JeffreyFX (@JeffreyFX0) reported

    50 dollars for NSO Expansion Pack and Nintendo has the audacity to not add any new features to the online service in general!

  • HeavensHero BestOfShirou (Rereading : Tsukihime after 4 years) (@HeavensHero) reported

    @Akicat_r I mean yeah the service ain’t that good but still 20$ a year. N64 and SNES do be carrying hard tbh. The competition is 60$ a year but with a very good service at least— Still waiting for an improvement from Nintendo but it’s pretty good for it price.

  • dentos_wife Jane✨💜♠Halloween M!Grima!!!! (@dentos_wife) reported

    @Karxrida I’m very pro Nintendo I saw no problem with Mario Allstars but this? there is literally no benefit for the consumer. You get very few old games and dlc that you may or may not have the base game for. That’s it. For 50 bucks and heaven forbid you’re on a family plan

  • TheOmegaVirus Charredasperity (@TheOmegaVirus) reported

    Nintendo Online with N64 games Costs as much as 6 months of Xbox Game Pass, which gives you like 150 free current gen games/new ones on release day, just to put it in perspective. 50 dollars is way to much for the worst online service in the industry and some roms.

  • xBlaster0 Alex is back with SOTN Random (@xBlaster0) reported

    @vilepluff @NintendoAmerica They had no time to focus on typos, they were busy making the service even more expensive...

  • Horror_Film_Fan Vince (@Horror_Film_Fan) reported

    @8Bit_Hero_ @anthony_Bull3 @davidscottjaffe Plenty of gamers and so called journo's are speaking of the joys of sub services! People are complaining about paying $59 a year for Nintendo's **** sub service yet praise Microshafts sub service when they pay WAY more per year for far worse games! And they get to own NONE of it!

    @oliphant_david This is Nintendo's Online Multiplayer Service. It's already bad for $20.

  • GaymerNerd Houston (He/Him) (@GaymerNerd) reported

    Nintendo's online expansion service costing $80/yr feels weird. On one hand, it FEELS super expensive for what's being offered initially, but on the other, I: 1. Can DEFINITELY afford it 2. Do have 8 people on my plan 3. Have a bro who will 100% max-use it #NintendoSwitchOnline

  • WorsdaleMalcolm Malcolm Worsdale (@WorsdaleMalcolm) reported

    @NintendoUK how do I cancel a repair pickup as I have fixed the problem myself thank you

  • C0SMICESPORTS COSMIC (@C0SMICESPORTS) reported

    @Fireheart1990 @OrdinaryGamers game are old with no profits. plus some people buy their games to play on an emulator. Either way, it's on Nintendo for putting out a ****** service. If they made a decent service, people would support them more.

  • TylerKelbaugh94 Tyler Kelbaugh (@TylerKelbaugh94) reported

    $49.99 for the NSO upgrade is ridiculous but not surprising. This is why I was so underwhelmed by the announcement at the Direct. Nintendo should be giving this to NSO users for free considering how terrible their online infrastructure and the game service has been so far.

  • chefYAKK Tha Chef Gaming (@chefYAKK) reported

    Hey #nintendo if you want $50 a year for online you better offer what the bigger service are. Voice chat through the console & achievements! You have to do better than some Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games and an expansion to a game people may or may not play

  • Rayan_Iolanthe Rayan @ OOHHHHHHH ELDEN RING (@Rayan_Iolanthe) reported

    @IIKevinll @monsterhunter Probably cause of issues interfacing with different servers, XX was only on Nintendo servers, Rise is split between Nintendo and Steam servers, probably the same reason why all 3 versions of World couldn't cross play

  • CashewChewer CashewGamer (@CashewChewer) reported

    @Bonemethius @NintendoAmerica No problem!
