Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • FEARLESSCHRIS8 CHRIS ALDANA (@FEARLESSCHRIS8) reported

    @NelsonT123 @justadoggo__ @NintendoAmerica You would rather Have Nintendo doing such things instead of Having them not do it at all? Since no collection would Be Better than another limited release of lazy ports: You accepting such anticonsumer moves are part of the problem

  • TrashBqg Trash (@TrashBqg) reported

    @NintendoAmerica It’s been almost 2 years since you dropped this service and u still not gonna give us earthbound

  • MrJohnFul João Augusto (@MrJohnFul) reported

    @tebhernandez @antdude92 I said money from every person that is using the service. Let me explain again then. Nintendo is purposefully NOT giving us new consoles for the NSO so they can make easy money with online players or people waiting the N64, GC, GB and so on.

  • 2WayIntrsctn 2-Way_Intersection (@2WayIntrsctn) reported

    @CABEZILLA142DXD @CB4Smash ok but a: mario is literally the mickey mouse of gaming and b: having 2 nintendo characters would kinda discredit sonic and crash, especially because donkey kong wasnt really a platformer until dkc

  • RafayNawaz Rafay (@RafayNawaz) reported

    @RicoSuavez @ArouetA @BenjiSales No company level fix for it but if you do encounter it in your Nintendo controllers, drop a bit of electronic contract cleaner under the rubber *****. It’ll keep you good for 4-6 months or more

  • BiekerJosh Josh Bieker (@BiekerJosh) reported

    Been playing my Nintendo Switch and buying a lot more Switch games lately seeing as though retailers haven’t bothered to fix the next gen console orders situation yet. Which I definitely think they need to take it more seriously.

  • NormalPunch NormalPunch (@NormalPunch) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Dripfeeding content that very few people are interested in. Wii & Wii U's Virtual Console puts this new service to shame in every possible way. Not surprising, but disappointing regardless

  • IAmCharlieSayce Charlie Sayce (@IAmCharlieSayce) reported

    @NintendoUK- I have an issue with an order and am getting no help from your live chat. Who can I contact to help?

  • BandeeEnjoyer Sephiroth's simp (@BandeeEnjoyer) reported

    Can I say that the Activision document is weird. They planned this before Smash was even out so saying "Crash will be in Smash" is just optimistic. Nintendo is the one that approaches you not you to them so it's just weird.

  • JayTpose JayTpose (@JayTpose) reported

    @PcElitist__ @NintendoAmerica 1. Most of the games on pc are either on console, or originally from consoles 2. Unlike the consoles the pcs can get viruses, which causes them to, well, crash or be unusable 3. if you don't like consoles, then why go to their accounts?

  • bignastyshrek Bignastyshrek (@bignastyshrek) reported

    @GamesNosh Oh no, it's defective! Better pay us another $50 to fix it! -Sony and Nintendo

  • justadoggo__ justadoggo (@justadoggo__) reported

    @FEARLESSCHRIS8 @NelsonT123 @NintendoAmerica what would be the problem? people have been begging for ports of the hd remasters, and with them being $60 on wii u, a collection would be quite the deal

  • thatcartoonboi That Cartoon Boi (@thatcartoonboi) reported

    @PcElitist__ @NintendoAmerica Just like the other one this is a troll don’t reply it’s what they want blah blah blah this guy is as subtle with their trolling as a car crash

  • AnaMSanchezArce Ana María says ‘Take a break!’ (@AnaMSanchezArce) reported

    @NintendoUK having trouble with the joycons on the left and the right. They wander off and it’s difficult to play and console has problems. Any fixes?

  • enimsaj__x Jas🌹 (@enimsaj__x) reported

    Im bad my apartments forcing us to use this new delivery service.. I want my Nintendo switch nowwww

  • Owenn259 Owen Turner (@Owenn259) reported

    @maro007_ @NintendoAmerica its probably broken but look on youtube and there might be a way to fix it

  • hannahhalfpint_ Hannah is on mars🛸🧷🖤 (@hannahhalfpint_) reported

    @Fallonhavanna Nintendo 64 mario was the ****. Crash bandicoot, Zelda...UGH those were the days

  • aIveskue k-ue (@aIveskue) reported

    @Thesmg4 @Jonathan2285 @ArloStuff Hot take: nintendo online isn't that bad. People's internet that is. Many games just hide the lag better, but it is still there. Think about a game like CoD. Sometimes you'll take a headshot but you weren't supposed to.

  • s1yc00per11750 S1yc00per11750 (@s1yc00per11750) reported

    @HopeJustice1938 So what's the issue. I know IGN is garbage so if it's good than I'm guessing that they screwed nintendo out of a better score.

  • chaotictoby13 Chirstian Castrillon (@chaotictoby13) reported

    Dear @NintendoAmerica could we please get Mario rpg for switch’s online service 🙏🏻

  • Zari_Wari Wari (@Zari_Wari) reported

    @Venny_Evan @NintendoAmerica Id agree but the problem is that the classic service is where the majority of value of NSO comes from (its definitely not coming from network upkeep)

  • SarahStellie Sarah Petra Stellington #Maekawa4Sonic (@SarahStellie) reported

    @ExistingKirb @helvetica42 @NintendoEurope Please don't use bad language in my tweets and replies, okay? I am NOT willing to get in trouble with my family rules. ...But this has got to be a joke. They is no such thing as a Xbox from Nintendo.

  • ThePantsuGod Marcy♀️ (@ThePantsuGod) reported

    @nickel_alt Man went through all that trouble of setting up for nice dinner just to be served a Nintendo WII, his dissapointment is palatable

  • Cromdaleblvd1 Cromdaleblvd (@Cromdaleblvd1) reported

    @WalmartCAGaming No I don’t think it should. Crash is a Sony reject that will infiltrate Nintendo!!

  • Sir_Demos Sir_Demos (@Sir_Demos) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Nintendo's online service continues to disappoint.

  • Bimmety Bimmety (@Bimmety) reported

    Xbox and PlayStation charging $60 a year for online with not many games given for free not many complain Nintendo releases an online service with retro games for $20 a year many people complain 🤔

  • CatspressoLood Smōl Sof✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 (@CatspressoLood) reported

    @DragonRift Oh I remember that. When I sent my old 360 in, they promptly fixed it AND gave me a year of gold free for an apology. Microsoft is good. Sony is good. Nintendo customer service and repairs are just... Eh.

  • zahrakhrn La niña (@zahrakhrn) reported

    @TTTTYYYYOOOO @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot crash bandicoot 4:”)

    @TheMaractusMan @NintendoAmerica Bravely Default for the most part is a fun game if you enjoyed the classic Final Fantasy games like FF3/FF5. However the biggest complaint is the middle of the game being repetitive as hell. Bravely Second doesn't have that issue but the jobs in that one seemed more hit or miss
