Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • HeroScrappy HappyScrappyHeroPup (@HeroScrappy) reported

    @Cesar_is_phat @eaphen It's definitely extreme compared to the competition, albeit the service is still leaps and bounds better than Nintendo's Online. Nintendo's makes me feel like an ******* for being subbed to it, but I have a family sub and I'm paying for other people so it doesn't bug me as much.

  • JbootyfuI Ⓙ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓢ︎Ⓢ︎Ⓔ︎ 💋 (@JbootyfuI) reported

    my profile pic on Switch is Lola Pop because 1. I'm a clown and 2. they didn't have Bayonetta as an option (fix this @NintendoAmerica)

  • yungpilotss Ash is my kind of woman❤ (@yungpilotss) reported

    @NintendoAmerica , is it normal that I can't visit my gf's island? It says something about error and that I can't connect to the other console

  • UberPendragon UberPendragon 🕹 (@UberPendragon) reported

    @PredaZap @_BlessedRed This is false. Anyone who has played Nintendo games online with their friends, or a poorly implemented PC multiplayer know that reliable servers are crucial. Additionally, being able to easily game/speak together is valuable. It is genuinely a service, not a wall

  • lixking1 Felix (@lixking1) reported

    @javikatan @cronieees @geoffkeighley Exactly. This also stops sony and nintendo from being like "well 120 for their service we can add 20 to ours it would still be cheaper" we all win.

  • SimonStevens187 Simon Stevens (@SimonStevens187) reported

    @tlwelch85 Thing about Nintendo is they literally do nothing to justify charging money for the switch online service, it's p2p, no servers are maintained, it's a paywall and yet it still looks better than $120 for xblg, that's how badly Microsoft have screwed up today, it's shameful.

  • Jovkicks c. jovas (@Jovkicks) reported

    @HiitssJohnny Netflix has no games and yet has less content over time and has increased prices over said problems. Even worse thanks F2P games. Netflix offers less and charges more. Sony is and argument Nintendo has no social abilities so year they can charge less.

  • that_dex La Dex (@that_dex) reported

    I like Nintendo DS games but the problem is that most of them have become dated unlike the majority of Super Nintendo games.

  • Ethan_ScottXY Who tf am I?? (@Ethan_ScottXY) reported

    @summonedswords And when I said same quality online I meant Nintendo. Like, the quality of Switch online service BEFORE they charged for it is the exact same as it was after they started charging for it.

  • PleaseBeGneiss slate (@PleaseBeGneiss) reported

    what is biden’s plan to fix nintendo switch joy con drift

  • ecumber05 ecumber (@ecumber05) reported

    @undertalefreak7 @forestillusion when compiling a debug version of a game/program, code optimization is not performed as it makes it harder to find and fix problems i also doubt it is running on a wii u, most nintendo games are developed on devkits or standard computers

  • Venom_Big_Boss RubMySweatyThighs (@Venom_Big_Boss) reported

    @XboxP3 @vicious696 @Xbox How does this pass? Why did it take this level of backlash to do something Sony and Nintendo have been doing since their online service launched?

  • Tomathius Tomathius #PlantGang (@Tomathius) reported

    "You're stupid for believing in Nintendo" they said "Buy an Xbox, their service is better" they said I hope Xbox forcefully charged everyone who shat on me $120 extra for the new year.

  • filmmaker2502 Israel Sanchez (@filmmaker2502) reported

    @PushDustIn New Nintendo Switch drops in November boasting a new 1080p screen for handheld play, thinner bezels, and an upgraded chip with better performance allowing for 4K output to TV. Unfortunately, the joy con stay the same which means drifting remains an issue.

  • _xcamilli LilB 🐝 (@_xcamilli) reported

    @lunaaluvbug Nintendo will fix them if you are still in your 12 months of buying your switch

  • squib1062 Squib (@squib1062) reported

    @Xbox Good job guys, I just wish nintendo would stop **** riding themselves and fix their mistakes and listen to their community like u guys have been starting to do

  • ShingStar5022 🌟Shining Star🌹 (@ShingStar5022) reported

    @PushDustIn Nintendo streaming service like Disney +

  • FlamingMarmlade Flamara on Toast 🦊🍊 (@FlamingMarmlade) reported

    @Neosbeyond And yes I get it what you meant with not the franchise because mostly people are pressing on the graphics just because its on Nintendo Switch. But we all know MH is never about graphics but more to gameplay. Its the game we all love when graphics’ not the main issue.

  • JuiceMan_V JuiceManVon (@JuiceMan_V) reported

    @odelgado013 @SpawnWaveMedia Nintendo listens to their customers when it matters, but not when the issue is miniscule in their eyes. As for this situation, NSO is $20 bucks, so what they don't have is pretty much tempered by the fact that it's small peanuts to play games online for a yr.

  • blazerr___ Blazer™ (@blazerr___) reported

    @BlakeBakeDaCake The human body is defective nintendo should recall it and fix the problems with it

  • Pizza58002072 Chest (@Pizza58002072) reported

    @GravesMainYeet Playstation and Nintendo are both okay. They both specialize in different things Also removing any of them would cause a huge drama issue in the gaming community Honestly i would vote out the Atari.

  • MrKing_MC King (@MrKing_MC) reported

    Super Smash Bros Melee For the Nintendo GameCube is not even close to be broken as my life. I need to upload or I would not be relevant like ever.

  • CoryRadical CoryRadical (@CoryRadical) reported

    @AKAMorphined @anthonymtsr @IGN Yeah, I got 4 Joy-Cons repaired for free by Nintendo well over a year ago and haven't had an issue since. Mailed them in, got them delivered back to me less than a week later.

  • sos_sanzer morbamba™️ #TeamMushroom🍄 (@sos_sanzer) reported

    @KaSyl_Town @LongTimeNoSiege @ElCornaKing Oh I never have issues with Dplatoon, only smash and SMM2. I don’t disconnect from any other Nintendo game other than those two aforementioned. It’s kinda pathetic how little traffic control and no dedicated servers plays out for a billion dollar company.

  • LolaTheKittenB1 LolaTheKittenBab (@LolaTheKittenB1) reported

    @NoStraightRoads Will you guys be able to fix the Nintendo switch version of the game?

  • MrCatSgtGizmo Mr. Cat (@MrCatSgtGizmo) reported

    @NintendoAmerica i am trying to buy a game and you won't take my money; can't change expired CC error code 9001-0091 from the website and 2813-0091 from the Switch plz help

  • SwedeTrap SwedeTrap (@SwedeTrap) reported

    For what it’s worth, @xbox live is nearly twice as good as PSN and easily 5x better than that Nintendo Online garbage. It’s pretty easy to see where they were coming from. Go ahead and hate. I subscribe to all of them and couldn’t care less about your halfwit fanboy issues.

  • jichentids ari ; chan luvr ♡! (@jichentids) reported

    nintendo's online services are so ******* *** oh my god especially while playing splatoon... who thought it was a good idea to decrease your rank if you disconnect 😐

  • tomokoseph 💛 pudding 💛 comms open 📌 (@tomokoseph) reported

    as someone with tiny baby hands that get tired too fast holding the dualshock 4 and other similar controllers, i actually really love the joycons and think they're comfortable to hold but my ******* god if nintendo doesn't fix the drift i'm gonna **** in their offices

  • Kazoorion Kazooinyan (@Kazoorion) reported

    @McTroid Now let's do the same with Nintendo with their Online Service so they actually fix it or just don't charge us at all lol
