Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • counselor_chip Counselor Chip (@counselor_chip) reported

    @Heppuplays @pk_kenzie Its the magypsie issue. Particularly the hot tube scene with lucas. Releasing an official EN translation would essentially amount to Nintendo taking a side on an "issue" that is impossible to address with amassing a hate mob.They essentially can never release that game here

  • Voxelsaurus_Vex Voxelsaurus Vex (@Voxelsaurus_Vex) reported

    @paulo__fh @SpawnWaveMedia I don't personally see that. A good is a good A service is a service. I buy tracks for Mario Kart it's a good, I own it, I keep it. If I RENT them via Nintendo Online subscription, that is a SERVICE.

  • CarnoAndy Dino (@CarnoAndy) reported

    @VinnyTheUHHH Bro I literally sent a joycon in to Nintendo to fix the joystick drifting and it still happens, I'm not convinced they fixed anything about it

  • lexonid Alex (@lexonid) reported

    @TitaniumSalvage Also the video Jon made is about a far bigger thing then just SH. At least they are informed and knows a lot about Nintendo, but most of those "leakers" are just misleading. Problem is that all those fake-leaker are making the internet discourse about leaks and rumors very toxic.

  • SeanSlaughter3 Kisame Hoshigaki (@SeanSlaughter3) reported

    @nintendolife Seems like the only ones that have an issue with it is Nintendo life

  • iKickCloudsToo JoVante Joestar 🇭🇹 (@iKickCloudsToo) reported

    It’s still crazy how Microsoft spent more on Activision-Blizzard than what Nintendo itself is worth. And considering how Game Pass legit too good of a deal, we might see a crash in the industry before too long 🥴

  • MaskUpOnThem209 TheMammoth 8ft6in IQ 237 (@MaskUpOnThem209) reported

    @AlsAstro_XBox @TakeThisL18 @MilesDompier PlayStations gonna be doing the same ****. They’ll have their own first party games on their subscription service and sell them full price elsewhere. It’s the new model for both companies. I think Nintendo is really gonna be the only one relying on exclusives.

  • CoolsvilleC Coolsville Citizen (@CoolsvilleC) reported

    Sorry for no posts for a long time. I did fix up the soundtrack playlist recently because most of the Nintendo music i put in it exploded off of YouTube.

  • shine__don 🌬donielle dewitt (@shine__don) reported

    man i miss playing crash bandicoot on nintendo GameCube …

  • MaeRenneburg 📖 𝚖𝚊𝚎_𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚎𝚋𝚞𝚛𝚐 🪶 (@MaeRenneburg) reported

    @ItsRetroKaiju I’m still on your side. I believe that the characters aren’t a problem (for me atleast) but the thing with Nintendo and DLCs is braindead

  • real_mikeymoo MikeyMoo (@real_mikeymoo) reported

    @ModernVintageG Look, i take issue with a lot of crap Nintendo does.. i call them on **** all the time. But this seems justified.

  • Civilwarfare101 Inderdip Lohtia (@Civilwarfare101) reported

    The fact that Nintendo fanboys defend this crap is why Nintendo gets away with the **** that they do. Sony charging $70 for their games is a problem if you buy games day one all the time.

  • FatalFragz A Proud Raiders Fan ☠️ (10-7) (@FatalFragz) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Do not buy this. This is the worst possible version you can get the game is still buggy and broken and unstable not sure why it hasn’t been fixed yet but I assume it’ll take a long time prolly not as long as cyberpunk. Hopefully

  • SkyBlueCwtch SkyBlueCwtch (@SkyBlueCwtch) reported

    Hopefully that'll be the end of all the errors, I'll be able to play minecraft again, I'll have brand new working joy cons and I won't have the whole damn history with Nintendo repairs that makes me angry to this day over that damn switch. Please don't let me down, Oled.

  • HoegLaw Richard Hoeg (@HoegLaw) reported

    @Eodyne1 Oh, you know I have no problem with the more normative statements. Feel free to think Nintendo is overly aggressive etc., but understand that if there's value in making something available, you're taking something from the owner when you decide to make it available yourself.

  • SpaghettiGuy_ Zak 🍝 (@SpaghettiGuy_) reported

    My new pro controller that I got TWO MONTHS AGO has ALREADY started drifting Nintendo fix your ****

  • Tasty_Penguini Manpenguin (@Tasty_Penguini) reported

    At least I can say now the new NSO sub is worth it now imo Other than new games, I feel like Nintendo's aim is towards quantity with the "quality" and price of their products/service. The DLC and the new NSO is a good example, where's Mario 3D All-Stars being the worst example

  • zezba9000 Andrew Witte (@zezba9000) reported

    @aos_lord @NintendoAmerica IC so you could buy official Nintendo games from his servers & download them. He should just have to pay back for the games sold. Locking ppl up for 3 years will cause more problems.

  • surlypeter MF GOBLIN (@surlypeter) reported

    It’s really annoying that in order to change my #Nintendo account I have to wait until it expires. There’s no way to change until then, so I have to wait until AUGUST to change my plan on #SwitchOnline. That’s just dumb. Other service I’ve used allowed plan changes.

  • Nanashrew Jason Lacour (@Nanashrew) reported

    some have issues with badminton being in switch sports. but consider this! we got to here someone say the word "shuttlecock" in an official nintendo direct

  • LowQuality78 Low quality (@LowQuality78) reported

    @LittenFire_ @Kotaku Yes Like of you think the game is worth going through the trouble of pirating and want more why not give Nintendo the money? That's literally just how money works. People worked on that ****

  • PearlyTheMC Pearly's Dumpster Fire (@PearlyTheMC) reported

    So our Nintendo switch dock doesn't really work. We tried everything to make it show up on the TV and it won't. I also don't know how to find a replacement because all the other options have their own problems. What should I do?

  • LilWert Papáupa 🕊 (@LilWert) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @NintendoCoLtd when are you guys going to fix the bug of showing the credits after every single Grand Prix is done?

  • a00link Stephen (@a00link) reported

    @IndieGamerChick I had that same issue over the holidays. It's like Nintendo wants us to rely on Dekudeals and search when ready to buy. It must be really frustrating to developers too since many won't get even a chance for their sale to be seen.

  • RyanRei88483582 Ryan Reid 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@RyanRei88483582) reported

    @optimalSCF @BoundaryBreak I think the big problem here is that Nintendo is marketing this as an iteration of Wii Sports, when in actual fact it doesn't fit in at all

  • StrongFairy9 Casey (@StrongFairy9) reported

    @spaghoner this would have been around the time i was collecting Nintendo Power issues and i certainly did not obtain this disc as part of one

  • XlzXtra XTRA XLZ (@XlzXtra) reported

    @Minecraft it won't let me log in to the game from nintendo switch and i get the crossbow error code

  • IndieGamerChick Indie Gamer Chick (@IndieGamerChick) reported

    So many Nintendo Switch games are on sale that I can't even view 25% of them without crashing the whole eShop. And people think THAT doesn't need reform? That it's not a problem the sales page is clogged with the same games that spend more time "discounted" than not?

  • dave_warhammer WarhammerDave (@dave_warhammer) reported

    @NanoPolymath Look on other forms of social media. Almost zero Playstation and Nintendo gamers will ever mention gamepass. Ask ppl you know that don't use gaming twitter if they know what it is. It's a problem that Xbox needs to solve. Big exclusives help but no in every case

  • AGuyWhoTweet5 Stuart Lugsden #SaveRedDeadOnline (@AGuyWhoTweet5) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @RockstarGames This disaster needs to be thrown in the bin and he forgotten about. The thing is a scam and a crash crab.
