Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mapIewinds nova 🎆 (@mapIewinds) reported

    @KZHSCR_heartbot twitter decided to break down and honestly it was funny bc it coincided with the nintendo direct - rn the twts are fixed but i think the follow function is still broken :(

  • Rex_ART_98 Rexart(ℝ 𝕖 𝕩) (@Rex_ART_98) reported

    @Neyro_76 There's a glitch in Twitter. The Nintendo direct seems to have crashed the servers again so you'll have to wait

  • PikastationNSFW Shin Pikastation NSFW🔞 (@PikastationNSFW) reported

    Like imagine that this time it wasn't a outage it was us Nintendo fans ******* up ****.

  • PIZZASCRUB spencer『 DRAWCEL 』soares (@PIZZASCRUB) reported

    nintendo just make a service called Virtual Console thats got one app and has any and every game regardless of platform - what is the point of separating them

  • PartyHog64 🎵 SlyFelix 🧩 (@PartyHog64) reported

    @Mii_Mario_ It feels like Nintendo fans have dealt with weird things on twitter today. Like the app pretending like people are reaching "max number of tweets a day" until it was fixed right after the direct. Now theres is a "following limit"? No one ever dealt with these problems.

  • Will777JP Will (@Will777JP) reported

    @yeolfatman @geoffkeighley Sony did not start this, ubisoft and EA did. But at least it was on next gen. Ps4 games are $60. Nintendo hardware is so outdated. There is no justification at all and the people defending this because Sony did it ARE the problem.

  • RandyClark1990 Randy (@RandyClark1990) reported

    @stopskeletons The Switch hasn't had and upgrades since launch. Every new game has performance issues because of it. What can Nintendo possibly do to warrant a higher price when assets are being reused?? BOTW isn't a perfect 30; can they add even more without lowering that further??

  • MagmaSoap Millie Fangs 💫🌟 (Looking For Work!) (@MagmaSoap) reported

    Nintendo's advertisement of their online retro game service reeks of "Don’t think about how we did this better 8 years ago!"

  • Will777JP Will (@Will777JP) reported

    @Wavezero @geoffkeighley No I'm not. I actually secured my pre order at 60 and just canceled it. All people are doing is enabling Nintendo to continue with old hardware and glitch outdated software. I will stick my ps5 and series S

  • specvermillion Aurisan (@specvermillion) reported

    @CitrusFriend__ I got the issue as well (can't follow nor post) I did hear it started when the Nintendo Direct was shown?

  • krisispiss Kris🐾💜✨ (@krisispiss) reported

    @Pisstsuyuyuyu Oh... Did you miss all the **** today??? Twitter broke and no one could tweet during the Nintendo direct, THEN dms and following people were broken for the rest of the day...

  • megafan2001 MegaFan2001 Gaming (@megafan2001) reported

    @Somecallmejon Do you have hope that Nintendo will add DK94 to the service?

  • Jeff87842332 Jeff (@Jeff87842332) reported

    @Mighty1Lucas @TH3MAF1A @NintendoUK Bruh I don't get what's so bad about it, it's never been a problem with me, you either know how to use weapons efficiently or you don't

  • ifyouwouldlike2 deepsink(pr0ship/**** acc dni) (@ifyouwouldlike2) reported

    @KING_KONG_TAY agent 8 either has some posture problems or someone at nintendo has some problems😭

  • ArtsyFoxo ArtsyFoxo (@ArtsyFoxo) reported

    @RioDelZorro @Blackmajic_3397 Honestly, my dream Star Fox game would be one with solid aerial combat. And 3rd person on-foot sections that are actually good. Star Fox Assault's on-foot missions had the issue of being badly designed. But since we're many years later I feel Nintendo could do better.

  • whereismymind86 Bryan Moberg (@whereismymind86) reported

    @RealPunchNpie @SpawnWaveMedia I’ll tell you this, Pokémon scarlet and violet launching in such a bad state and NEVER getting patches to try and fix it’s performance doesn’t exactly make me want to pay more for Nintendo games

  • GhibliFan93 Joey Ford (@GhibliFan93) reported

    @DigitalEclipse So while I was playing Akka Arrh in Atari 50 on Nintendo Switch, the whole game crashed. Can you guys fix this issue?

  • kunkyfong24 DNY | KunkyFong (@kunkyfong24) reported

    @NintendoAmerica my switch lite broke for no reason. What should I do? Literally every piece of switch hardware I have bought from you broke. My main switch, the joycons, and my lite. Your consoles have hardware issues. Absolutely disgraceful.

  • VoidlingAcero Acéro The Voidling | ⱻřꝛør₃⁰Ɛ (@VoidlingAcero) reported

    @TheCaffeineDerp Idk. Twitters been broken since the Nintendo Direct (about 8 hours ago since it aired)

  • Aninymouse Aninymouse (@Aninymouse) reported

    @TheJrose11 Because Pokémon is treated like a property separate of Nintendo that is fueled by greed. They will either remake them like Brilliant Diamond for $50 each, or you'll have to buy membership in a Pokémon streaming service.

  • MeierStacie Stacie Meier (@MeierStacie) reported

    @WatchSparrow @IdleSloth84_ And the irony to this is Sony will lose COD, because Act-Blizzard doesnt need to put it on there. Only reason Sony keeping it now is because Microsoft made a deal to keep it there. Also the issue with Nintendo suing Sony as they have an agreement to get COD when it merged.

  • Snowiestofthem — ☆ 𝒫𝒾𝓃𝓀 𝒮𝓀𝒾𝑒𝓈 - ! (@Snowiestofthem) reported

    @FurrzABinch @MisterDeuzion Elon didn't ruin it, It was the nintendo direct that was going on which caused it to crash for a while making you unable to reply, follow, or dm other people.

  • Aquasp102 💙Aquasp102💙 (@Aquasp102) reported

    @Starjeti I find it funny how Twitter glitching out happened basically right as today's Nintendo Direct started, and then slowly started to fix itself after it ended. Maybe Twitter's coding was annoyed with the constant Direct tweets and wanted to stop everyone.

  • motorcityotaku DetroitOtaku R 🇺🇸 🇯🇵 (@motorcityotaku) reported

    @MorphBoxSR This is extremely one-sided. Yamauchi made plenty of shady business decisions. But this was a period when the industry was just coming out of a crash. Nintendo HAD to be ruthless or else the whole thing would come crashing down. They did this for a reason.

  • BubblegumSenpai BubblegumSenpai Mewkledreamy Completed! 😸💝 (@BubblegumSenpai) reported

    Huh. I wonder if Nintendo made any announcements that might have directed traffic to an article I wrote 17 months ago about a rumored Game Boy service for the Switch. *watches Nintendo Direct* I better add some footnotes...

  • NerdlyDragon Corey (M&L 20th Birthday Arc) (@NerdlyDragon) reported

    @KazekoYuki I’m just shocked that the 69.99$ Dilemma wasn’t an error but actually real, and afraid if that’s going to be the new price for Nintendo games. Granted TOTK is definitely, if not going to be many times bigger than BOTW even if I’ve never played it. But for once the feature’s good

  • DarthNupu C R A ZY H O R S E 🐱 (@DarthNupu) reported

    @NintendoAmerica why is she still in trouble and he should be old by now or dead

  • George__WT George_WT (@George__WT) reported

    I think Nintendo keeping up on adding new stuff to thier subscription service means their next console is gonna be a part of the Switch ecosystem (or be compatible with it) Sincerely doubt they'd throw the service away or lose multiplats to the current hardware being outdated af

  • AndTiv Project DSF (@AndTiv) reported

    @NintendoAmerica but will Crash XS come?

  • SockTalking A Talking Sock (@SockTalking) reported

    I'm trying to capture the direct in OBS to overlay my reaction on but IT WON'T STOP LAGGING Nintendo Directs hold too much power. They literally break social media over their knees.
