Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • vinunderstars vinnie (@vinunderstars) reported

    sega games? on my nintendo online service?

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 70 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Hexvalues ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ (@Hexvalues) reported

    @Lewellyn_v0 No one is defensive but you. All he said was why it's a Nintendo exclusive. None of us would have an issues if it's on a different platform. It's just that Nintendo is holding the publishing rights. How are we jealous? You're the one attacking the console for being weak???

  • real_MikeBarnes Mike Barnes aka Cashcosts (@real_MikeBarnes) reported

    @BluthCapital Then again Nintendo could just do something completely braindead and kill the Switch in a couple years, shut down the service and start over from scratch w a new system. Totally bizarre.

  • PetuniaZilly356 Space Travel Dreamer (@PetuniaZilly356) reported

    @PlayStation Imagine a power outage that could last for years and decades? And we can no longer play on Nintendo, Playstation, Xbox Consoles, and PCs anymore. And the same with mobile gaming. No more video games. We would have to go back to the 1800s, or the 1700s without power.

  • BenatLegarra Eldelagaso (@BenatLegarra) reported

    @NintendoUK Cancelling my familiar suscription. Next games from second hand,sure. Fix joycons!!! Classics Nintendo pads r still alive and my left joys should be fixed every year changing the analog...

  • goatcanon Goaty T. Goat 🐐🏳️‍⚧️ (Comms Open) (@goatcanon) reported

    @bluwolfboy Idk why Sega loves reusing the same awful renders. Nintendo had the same issue for a good while but only recently broke out of it

  • PistachioFoxMew 🖤 Pistachio Fox-Boo 🖤 #BLM (@PistachioFoxMew) reported

    @deivi_dragon I genuinely never noticed them and they never detracted from the game experience for me. Maybe my issue is that I actually don't care how a game looks as long as it's fun which is why I tend to buy Nintendo games more because they've always focused on fun over graphical fidelity

  • LostTman1093 The Amazing Spider-Stan (@LostTman1093) reported

    @XanderXCIV @227Grayman @Kotaku Sony didn't want to help because the ps3 version of Bayo1 was piss poor at best broken mess at worst. Platinum literally went to everyone and only Nintendo said yes.

  • toocool46978 DJ Lane (@toocool46978) reported

    @mariokarttourEN Multiplayer is broken, badly. Opponents get no weapons, but instant turbo when hit that lasts 1/4 lap. Single player is broken, badly. Pay-wall is one thing, but none of the top tier items are available, not even via subscription. It's really bad @NintendoAmerica

  • SayaraTe S- Art Team: Haze (@SayaraTe) reported

    @farawaythyer So now they've been review bombing anything related to the company and basically doing the thing you'd see a Nintendo fan do. ***** about their problem in every single post or outlet the gensh post.

  • Eamon1987 Eamon O' Hare (@Eamon1987) reported

    @MyNintendoNews I would be all over Diddy Kong Racing if it came to the online service. Even better hope they do a HD remake of the DS version of Diddy Kong Racing on Nintendo Switch.

  • Spidey_Boi19 SpideyBoi19 (@Spidey_Boi19) reported

    @berserker144 Same reaction would happened if Pikachu released this year & the producers showed the cast like nintendo did. Everyone is just angry with covid problems & they vent it out on the internet.

  • KingofPrinnies Matthew Dobbins (@KingofPrinnies) reported

    @badconsolewar Nintendo vs Sega actually had the two fighting each other with comical jabs, which continued just fine into the PS1 era with Crash's "plumber boy" commercial. Now it's braindead fanboys arguing the high ground despite both consoles being like 90% the exact same.

  • _savxl Sahv Ehks Ehl (@_savxl) reported

    Upcoming chapters of deltarune are gonna cost money? Literally couldn't care less, because the quality of these games are second to none. Now, if Toby pulls a Nintendo and makes each chapter $60, then we're gonna have a problem, lol. I doubt he'll do that tho, Toby isn't scum. :)

  • radiatastory69 radiatastory69 (@radiatastory69) reported

    @GameAlicornLuna @nichegamer @GamerofOzz cause ppl want what they can't have on other platform personally i have no issue since i play on both pc ps and nintendo console but ig uess other can only get one thign and get upset over it.

  • radiatastory69 radiatastory69 (@radiatastory69) reported

    @SimbaXpOW @nichegamer Honestly don't care if u emulate since ryujin still doesn't emualte the hardware that well still, and if means bayoneta stays nintendo exclsuive to get more games then so be it not like it's a issue to get both a ps console pc and nintendo one so it doesn't affect me at all.

  • KumarNinya NINJACHEF TK | #NMH3GOTY2021 (@KumarNinya) reported

    @TM65Claw @VagrantSaga Ya the PS1 ads especially the Crash ones attacked Nintendo. Tho Ken Kutaragi recently said that he personally never viewed Nintendo as a competitor.

  • bendude86 bendude86🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@bendude86) reported

    @GlitterSophGame Yeah it definitely looks a lot better. I hope the build quality is a bit better than the last few iterations. I had a bunch of issues dealing with nintendo trying to fix ours, they are awful to deal with... in the end, amazon ended up fixing it for us

  • KilljoysNvrDie Allison Samantha (@KilljoysNvrDie) reported

    @cinemaandgaming @Wario64 You’re giving a reason why you don’t like Nintendo and I’m saying the competition has other problems like not even being able to have a large library at once due to storage issues

  • TopOfTheHats Mobian-Storyteller (Jaxon) 🇦🇺 (@TopOfTheHats) reported

    @SonicHacki It would have to cause another great video game crash for this to happen. Nintendo's widely credited for preventing another though that doesn't excuse their recent actions.

  • Garfieldist Erik Nilsson (@Garfieldist) reported

    @AndyLunique Nintendo tried but it caused problems when people were using black hair styles for non-blacks. So they chicken out and settle for what is tried and tested.

  • RobbieHaruna Robbie Haruna (@RobbieHaruna) reported

    @ShitMichaelLike @NintendoUK If it was an expansion of Super it would still be limited by all the Super mechanic problems

  • By_Ethan_Fox Ethan Fox | indie gamedev 🎮🕹️✍️⚖️🦅 (@By_Ethan_Fox) reported

    Have you been putting off unsubscribing to a service or two? Do you use Spotify that much? When did you last play a game on the Nintendo online service? If so, go unsub NOW. Right NOW. 🔁this, then close Twitter and GO DO IT. You can always resub later if you need them.

  • AfroMacintosh mac 'n' cheese • BLM (@AfroMacintosh) reported

    @bewilderedOH The problem with MK8 is that Nintendo's done absolutely nothing with the Deluxe port aside from adding Labo support. That, and it has one of the worst rosters in the series.

  • DeadDogsDaily4 Dead Dogs Daily (@DeadDogsDaily4) reported

    @Mikemicthewolf @HomelessNaruto @NintendoAmerica Yeah true, like I also would personally love to see master chief in smash and I think it’s plausible, but I’m not gonna rant about it if he doesn’t get in, yknow? Like dude was really just decided to cause problems for no reason lmao

  • Dragonogon 🏳️‍🌈Dragonogon🏳️‍⚧️🐲 (@Dragonogon) reported

    @NintendoEurope nintendo please patch the hole in my pipes i throwed my official brand nintendo product at it and it broke please fix thank you

  • Chris3671 Christopher Henderson (@Chris3671) reported

    @JsBlackfrost @BlackBurai We wouldn't have **** because in 1983 people got tired of ****** games and it caused the American gaming market to crash until Nintendo came into the market and the rest is history.

  • SaebaRyu2 RyuSaeba (@SaebaRyu2) reported

    @ThatNormalBunny @nichegamer Because they are losing money with each hardware sale and their games have stupidly big budgets (Sony). Not an issue for Nintendo.

  • KuchingKing888 NEKO de レトロゲーム (@KuchingKing888) reported

    D3 Publisher seems refused to do a new Bullet Girls game for Nintendo Switch due to hardware power limitation problems.
