Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • adam_sax Adam Sax (@adam_sax) reported

    @retro_bowl Typical nintendo, always lagging behind 😒

  • Pentonize Liam (@Pentonize) reported

    @BethesdaSupport Is there anything I can do regarding a refund as Nintendo have stated they can't despite the issue break the consumer rights act?

  • LiamLiore Liam Liore (@LiamLiore) reported

    @michaelystam @TropicalMaku This is what I've been wondering as well. Nintendo is crazy obsessed with the preservation of its brand integrity. Could still be Platinum's issue, but I can't help thinking that there's a possibility something is afoot that made Nintendo Japan/ PG want to part ways with Hellena

  • PlayerEssence OJ - PlayerEssence (@PlayerEssence) reported

    @ojamajomehdi @Blackstar2212_ No, she threw Hale under the bus. She had zero reason to bring her up in this if her issue is with Platinum/ Nintendo And I've shown plenty of empathy. What I won't do is be emotionally manipulated to think all on one side when all the info isn't there.

  • Reignited_Spyro Reignited Spyro (@Reignited_Spyro) reported

    @trsrpc And while we're throwing out hearsay, if that was even remotely true, why hasn't Platinum, Nintendo, or SEGA made any kind of statement on the issue? And why would Hideki feel the need to go on a blocking spree on everyone asking him about it?

  • Lvl_97_Mudkip Lvl 97 Mudkip (@Lvl_97_Mudkip) reported

    @thyClassyPanda Why do people keep saying totally uninformed things like this? Nobody gets royalties on these games, all the profits go directly to Platinum and Nintendo. Why do people keep assuming the team will get royalties? The fact that no one is getting royalties is exactly the problem!

  • Yahya_no_1 Yahya Osama yahya (@Yahya_no_1) reported

    @ModernVintageG I will give the Nintendo online devs this They definitely ignoring the fanboys & taking real criticism, fixing/ improving the service for real consumers to enjoy the product Hopefully they keep on improving all the issues with their Emulator+ game experience

  • TanookiPlayer Robyn Lister🤍☠️ (@TanookiPlayer) reported

    @Comic_Foil I'm still getting the game but I know that Hideki Kamiya was in the wrong & acted in the worst way. I don't think all the blame is on Platinum though. I think Nintendo is also in the fault of the situation & from what I've heard from other VAs this is an industry problem.

  • sirthomaspasty Jacob Redmon (@sirthomaspasty) reported

    @STAGEBLOQ Where I take issue with this position is that everyone else who worked on the game already got paid. The developers, programmers, & artists all made their money. If the game is ****** over, it only hurts Nintendo executives and Hideki Kamiya.

  • charizardpose beee @ dd2 ng+ ✨ (@charizardpose) reported

    40 mins later i have no idea what the issue is bc my card is fine (thanks nintendo) so i had to resort to linking p*goal but ???????

  • SneaslyHat0914 Bouncy (@SneaslyHat0914) reported

    @FallGuysGame There is a bug on Nintendo switch where if you enter the se hop the game crashes instantly, please fix.

  • SneaslyHat0914 Bouncy (@SneaslyHat0914) reported

    @FallGuysGame @Mediatonic There is a bug on Nintendo switch where if you try to enter the shop, the game crashes. Please fix this.

  • TurnipRodeo Turnips for all (@TurnipRodeo) reported

    @hieronymus_burp @GarbageApe Looking at the pages of a 1995 issue of Nintendo Power magazine while sobbing “God, it all went downhill after the N64 memory expansion pack. We have to go back Jules! We have to go back!”

  • AlsoKnownAsZeaf Faez (@AlsoKnownAsZeaf) reported

    In terms of Online game service in my opinion, The Xbox Live service is at number one, Sony Playstation Plus is at 2nd place but Nintendo Switch Online is a 3rd place last. Nintendo are still clueless at making a good quality online service for multiplayer games #NintendoSwitch

  • Punisher_Max_ SmartTrainNutrition (@Punisher_Max_) reported

    @TheSphereHunter Nintendo are holding the purse strings. This issue is dictated by them.

  • MonoTono0 Mono (@MonoTono0) reported

    @Quartzer10 @JackHay29639146 @JosNamesnotJo2 Redesigned their Nintendo related characters to avoid legal issues (That didn't happen to SMG4, but it happened to SML and they had to change every Nintendo related character into something else and also used the redesigns to sell merch

  • marek1shtar Marek1shtar 🆖️ (@marek1shtar) reported

    @kennethoktober it hit me last night that this was a big problem when i saw a video about The Dissappearance of the Mii's in nintendo. Great Concept for a video takled but someone who seemed more i nterested in cracking weird self-deprication and insult humor which led to nowhere in the end

  • brxndybrxndy brandy (@brxndybrxndy) reported

    @NintendoCanada @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA Day 38 (39 with Splatfest) of asking for a fix for the “not enough players” error on Splatoon 3.

  • RaulACGu Raúl (@RaulACGu) reported

    @FallGuysGame And the problem with the shop in Nintendo Switch????

  • coorshalfoff IntheFridge (@coorshalfoff) reported

    I guess I’m just confused as to what the purpose of this is? What exactly is the solution for someone who thinks the problem is the cultural degeneration of Nintendo brought on by wokeness? I guess the complete eradication of social progress over the last 30 years?

  • topsycretin TopsyCREEPin (@topsycretin) reported

    @wokal_distance Don't think the poor, oppressed and broken had Pokemon cards and Nintendo, chief.

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • miles_410 Miles (@miles_410) reported

    @_Androm3daStar_ very true very true but it also makes you wonder if it was an argument because of her views or internal issues, either way i don't agree with what nintendo have done, just seem life there's information that isn't public *yet*

  • BryanBstra BryanIKE (@BryanBstra) reported

    @SixersOctavian Nop this is a big problem when third-party games are blocked by playstation or nintendo. If it weren't for that it would be a huge W for our gaming community and not just a franchise...

  • Enragd_Potato Sean Anstett (@Enragd_Potato) reported

    @Hishui91 I think an argument over a cut of profits is reasonable, I’ve also heard voice actors don’t get compensated for sales of the game. If anything I think this is an industry issue over a Platinum Games or Nintendo issue

  • TheGhostWind Ghostwind (@TheGhostWind) reported

    @NoponDigi But if I had to be honest about it, I wouldn’t mind if Nintendo turns it into a TV Show with 1hr long episodes. Cause I think that works well for any Xenoblade game’s story adaptation. Passing wouldn’t be a problem and characters can be fleshed out more smoothly.

  • yungkiryu Yung Kiryu (@yungkiryu) reported

    @ItsCsteph @RPGoblin You never hear issues with Nintendo’s severs cuz they’re barely used 💀💀

  • RonnyHolland55 Ron 🇳🇱🇪🇺 (@RonnyHolland55) reported

    @ZeTrainer @yitzySchlesing2 @swu1sh Fortnite on Nintendo switch was acceptable before 22.10 patch, so if they wouldn’t fix it, I will remove the game…

  • RaisinsOriginal 👾 Raisins The Original (@RaisinsOriginal) reported

    @AngryJoeShow @platinumgames @NintendoAmerica The one issue that isn't being mentioned is that (beyond Nintendo and Platinum being ******** for this) the voice acting union is also at fault for setting up such bare minimum rates and never negotiating better contracts for the people they are supposed to represent.
