Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Tony (@HelloFade55) reported@Mike_Matei I remember in an old issue of Nintendo Power that the game was originally going to be called "Power Mission" and the character you played as looked a lot like Mega Man...
-
Gary (@Gary45118552) reported@NintendoAmerica Bought a switch in August and the neon joycon never worked right from the get go. Sent it in and had it repaired. Took about 4 weeks and after we got it back it still doesn’t work. Been about 4 months of it not working. Why can’t someone just send a new one?
-
Lenny🎮🎨 #RIPEtika #KingKRoolmain (@Len_Len_K_R) reported@shantae4smash Didn’t Nintendo censor Bayonetta for Smash 4 and Ultimate with no issue once so ever meaning that Shantae can also be censored with no issue if she were to be in Smash?
-
DT | XLR8 (@K3V1N_XLR8) reportedI hit "Details" and get this, the message reads as follows: "The server is operating normally." Error Code: 2154-0100 (Which doesn't come up on nintendo's error code search and is a generic server error code)
-
DoE (@DevilOfEdginess) reported@Yoship424 Many announcements from the Partner Showcases could've been done without a "Direct" that raised up expectations, and Nintendo shadowdropping titles like PM: TOK or P3D shows that they wouldn't have problem doing so.
-
GΛMΞD0G (@Gamedog_real) reportedFound out the Nintendo Switch Console alone without the Joycons has Gyroscope, so if the hypothetically someone what have made a dedicated headset similar to phone vr, but with the Joycons has your hand controllers you would be able to have normal be games, only problem is power.
-
w (@kuhdou) reported@itsJoshualive Other than NES and SNES games I could run on a browser on my pc. P2P online gaming with hit games like Smash is just not right. If mario were ever to die they’re in trouble no matter what other IPs they have. To the casual audience, Nintendo’s mascot is carrying them
-
Jake Martin (@gruntassassin58) reported@NintendoAmerica you are the worst ******* company to ever exist, you guys are a bunch of pieces of **** that don’t know how to run a company for people to properly play games. fix your wifi you worthless pieces of ****
-
Hee Ho 👑 (@KirbyF4r) reported@AF_Tiresome_ Nintendo is the problem and CDPR, 64gb carts came out but they cost a crazy amount and Nintendo has an underclocked trash system lmao
-
Benti (@cbenti60) reported@Pezell56xGaming I’m sure this is a mistake and Nintendo should fix it, but it would also be hilarious to discover your kid has this secret hacking life and they’re just so far ahead of the other kids
-
Bryan Bowen (@BigBoss62) reported@NintendoAmerica Ever since the 11.0.1 update I've been getting the "Game Card Removed" error when waking my switch from sleep mode. I can play for hours with no problems but when I put it to sleep it causes the error. I have to re-insert it to fix it. Others have reported this issue as well
-
WabbaPlays (@WabbaPlays) reported@Pezell56xGaming @NintendoAmerica fix this
-
Joshualive (@itsJoshualive) reported@kuhdou Nintendo IS their IPs. I’m not denying that. No other company has the IPs that Nintendo does. Those IPs are rock solid games though. Odyssee and BotW are STILL high ranked. Why would they not do p2p for their online service when Everyone else does it?
-
DT | XLR8 (@K3V1N_XLR8) reportedTwitter I need help. My nintendo switch online runs fine, I can play games like smash and rocket league just fine, but for whatever reason I can't see my friends who are online in the Friends List. After hitting "update" it gives me a generic server communication error.

patrick (@patricknotirl) reportednintendo wii broken
-
Wear a mask. (@payniizwastaken) reportedIt is crazy how a company can just give their entire community the shaft over and over and over again and there but as soon as a new character is announced all issues seem to magically disappear. Nintendo needs to change drastically. It's the dumbest ****
-
Paul Bourassa (@RedRangerZero) reported@AndrewLTumlin @thegameawards 1 problem with Ultimate Alliance 3: Nintendo is the publisher on it. Ports to other platforms won't happen anymore than Xbox getting Insomniac's Spider-Man games.
-
Tony (@MirageGamer6485) reported@pie471 I still have issues with mine. Don't blame yourself, it's Nintendo's fault for making abysmal type products and doing no proper way of fixing the drift cause of corporate greed.
-
♡ Shawna Draws ♡ (@ShawnaDraws) reportedThank u so much to the very kind nintendo customer service worker I was on the phone with for almost an hour he put up with so much **** jdjdjdjjd
-
Richard Dalton (@richardadalton) reported@monsterpartyhat @fightingwords @DigitalDreamLab Nobody is asked for a company to be a guaranteed success. But the toys need to be guaranteed to work. Anki aren’t alone. Nintendo just released a toy with issues. I don’t care how passionate the employees were it doesn’t earn the company a pass from criticism.
-
space book says this is bad (@itsnikinow) reported@imEileenNow Because Nintendo resolved the video game crash, so yeah, we would have games, just nothing good, like you said.
-
newbornkilik (@newbornkilik) reported@DoesPichu @jultar1000 @NintendoAmerica I'm not sure, this post has a lot of negative feedback from people who COULD be saying "This doesn't happen often, but we love Nintendo and Nintendo loves us so they will fix it ASAP" not quite like that, but you get the idea. The voice of the people should not be underestimated.
-
NateSnake225 (@Nch225) reported@MatttGFX What's wierd is this HAS to be an issue from NoA, because if it was Nintendo JP, they wouldn't have allowed Link to ba characterized in any version of the game, period. NoA seems to really hate good writing, ro at the very least good characterization.
-
ethan (@cr_aftt) reported@SachAtlantis @AndrewOfPeace Jaws isn’t happening, Nintendo world was planned like jaws but was cancelled due to copyright issues, and Jurassic World seems likely due to construction walls put up at discovery center recently, as well as a cherrypicker there.
-
🎄Astolfo's Giant Sack🎄 (@BongoDoDongo13) reportedI'd get a Switch, but I can't. Even if I did, the thought of having to constantly replace joycon controllers due to Nintendo's crappy QA terrifies me. While pro controllers do somewhat circumvent this issue, games like Mario Odyssey are enhanced by joycons. It's a tough dilemma
-
CHRIS ALDANA (@FEARLESSCHRIS8) reported@Monarch60962114 @OnTheDownLoTho remember this once You see massive Hate toward Nintendo for another overpriced low effort limited release these "great for new players" excuses wont outweigh the real problems I mentioned!
-
Annabelle Ristow (@PrincessZelda79) reported@MojangSupport I’ve been running into issues when playing on Nintendo switch with friends and solo, it’s mostly been having an issue with my inventory not loading and piglins and my chat bar not loading and having to wait a while for it to load. Anything I can do to fix it?
-
Myst (@Myst_BS) reported@WhatAdimeE when did u get ur switch cuz it took nintendo 3 years to actually try to fix joycon drift
-
Joshua Kyser (@KyserJoshua) reported@fearthegun i am having trouble with the voice chat in my copy of friday the 13th ultimate slasher edition the game on nintendo switch any advice or help or fixes
