Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MrGarry2u MrGarry2u and 207 others (@MrGarry2u) reported

    @EllipseEnt Nintendo don't have this problem, their games stay at full price forever lol

  • Derktronic12 Derktron (@Derktronic12) reported

    @Bluesmachine100 @YongYea People ***** about Nintendo and Microsoft give and hold them more accountable than they do to Sony and that is the problem with the gaming industry/community. This will only be their downfall sooner or later, happens to all companies who refuse to change.

  • IllCaesarer Maryl (@IllCaesarer) reported

    @CelticAnarchy The only games I ever get full price at launch are Nintendo first party titles. Nintendo has its issues, no doubt, but there's actual craftsmen in the executive side of the company who actually care about the product.

  • Dreamcrashed Crash-landed on Vita Island 🏝️ (@Dreamcrashed) reported

    @AlannaLovely4U @DoesItPlay1 True, there are several retail releases that will need an update to function properly on the Switch. On the bright side there are still plenty of titles from Nintendo, Limited Run, and even Atlus that avoid that issue. Wish it was that way for every release.

  • FunkyAl202 Funky Al 🍎📚💐 (@FunkyAl202) reported

    @ProKidGabi Unfortunately I doubt the 4th game will ever be localized since Level-5 closed their US branch due to financial issues I don’t think Nintendo will localize it like the previous games since they appear to have no interest in the series anymore.

  • Derktronic12 Derktron (@Derktronic12) reported

    @JamesTheFoxe @Bluesmachine100 @YongYea Doesn’t matter, if it comes from Sony or not. Sony clearly has issues and the public needs to address it. Like they do with Microsoft and Nintendo, Steam, EA, Epic Games, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Activision, Take Two, need I continue?

  • princesspeachxp peach :p (@princesspeachxp) reported

    my nintendo switch charger is BROKEN???? I DONT EVN WHAT

  • Ryuji_SkulI Skull (@Ryuji_SkulI) reported

    @PlayApex Fix Nintendo Switch Voice chat pls 🥺

  • GuillermoCorlet Guillermo/Nobu (@GuillermoCorlet) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia This is a though spot. Games outside the Nintendo bubble tend to drop in price a month if not weeks after lauch and I'm gonna be honest, I mostly buy the on sale. The thing here is that publishers push games out when they still have issues in order to reach their deadlines.

  • boolinrn 𝐋𝐮𝐤𝐚 🇷🇸 (@boolinrn) reported

    Everyday, it’s just Nintendo Twitter being annoying and making problems out of **** that doesn’t exist

  • nocontxtplushes 🧸No Context Plushies (DMs Open!!!)🧸 (@nocontxtplushes) reported

    @AdamRho56617651 @LordOfHarmony @trzef It was real, if it was fake it'd be illegal to make since they would be claiming it to be from Nintendo when it really wasn't and who'd wanna risk getting in big trouble for making a fraudulent document form Nintendo??

  • ImposterDittoM DittoM (@ImposterDittoM) reported

    @PigsSSBM @melodyssbm38282 I gotta be honest I do not care about Ultimate's competitive scene, and I care 900 times less about Melee's. I mainly see the broad Smash fanbase who cares more about if Crash bandicoot is fighter #10 than if Nintendo sucks for not adding wavedashing to Ult.

  • Tel0din Tel0din (@Tel0din) reported

    @thatskygame Uhh so I'm not up to date... Suddenly the game has a login? And I wanted to connect my nintendo account and now my whole progress is gone....... Is...there a way to get my stuff back? Because I spent sOme bucks on it. Help plz

  • PedroAGMYT AGM (AquelGamerMexicano) (@PedroAGMYT) reported

    @Lewis_Medeiros The replies are very disturbing, like people are really hoping for Nintendo to just put people in legal troubles just because of what's ultimately entitlement. I can understand Nintendo fighting against piracy, but people wishing others to be in trouble is not good no matter what

  • Karmagawra Karma (gf arc) 🔞 (@Karmagawra) reported

    Steve was added to smash because nintendo knows that the only people who care about minecraft are children, so they wanted to exacerbate the **** problem in the smash community by attracting children because they hate people who play smash competitively

  • Just_KatyH Katy Hillman (@Just_KatyH) reported

    @Ingonyama70 @GailSimone @MorganCherney Nintendo have literally said the only problem with making her the lead character is there would be nothing for Link to do. (Also if she has all her powers that would be a very short game.)

  • Kg4n_ The Kgan™ (@Kg4n_) reported

    @PJ_SwitchStop @SwitchStop @Macasaurus28 On a real note, no one actually has a problem with Fire Emblem. I've beaten FE3H. I just think Nintendo is putting too much into the franchise when they are over represented in Smash and will probably get a new game before we get much more needed, desired titles on the Switch.

  • AhoyAdamAhoy AhoyAdam (@AhoyAdamAhoy) reported

    @KevinKenson If you’re going to lower the price, people are just going to wait for it. That’s how it works. Nintendo doesn’t have this problem because they don’t lower the price. Just run sales once in awhile.

  • HotGirlVideos69 Nintendo Switch Love (@HotGirlVideos69) reported

    As a result of this issue we were facing a suspension. In response to this we are going to try and take a breather for a bit to avoid pissing off any of the overlords. We're going to begin posting exclusively using the Nintendo Switch. 2/3

  • Aclysmic_RBLX Aclysmic (@Aclysmic_RBLX) reported

    @ThatLazyOtaku__ @GamesRadar Xbox has the same problem it was found out no one knows about Nintendo yet

  • skottiboy_ scotty 🎮 (@skottiboy_) reported

    @Oopsie It probably will. If not it’s very easy to fix. A little isopropyl alcohol on the contacts will clean them right up and get them working too! If you need any help let me know. I know a lot about old Nintendo consoles and stuff 👍

  • PORTPORTPORT2 PORTGAMESTOPC (@PORTPORTPORT2) reported

    @_KeanuReaves @JustAnLED Also why are you bringing up Nintendo? LOL Nintendo rerelease a port. This is hardly the same **** so bad comparison. What justifies the price is if the devs can actually show you why they're charging 70. They got no ******* problem showing the different costs on editions.

  • charsplat Charsplat (@charsplat) reported

    @ActualAero @AboutNintendo The only issue is the sheer amount of characters in the smash games. When your niche, startegy rpg has the same amount of smash reps as Mario, something's not right, especially because most people who aren't diehard nintendo fans don't know what the hell it is.

  • KenBearIsland Sex War Protestor 26 (@KenBearIsland) reported

    @VinceFGC 6.5 frames of input delay Broken C-stick Delay-based online Multihits unpredictably inconsistent Imagine Nintendo giving a **** and not C&Ding TOs for Melee.

  • Bbuingbuingbish Hannah is fasting (semi-hiatus) (@Bbuingbuingbish) reported

    I think someone tried to scam me out of £130 💀 just went onto Gumtree to get a nintendo switch and then they asked if I will be paying via bank transfer and I said no via cash and then on the day I was supposed to collect they told me there's an "error" with the console 💀

  • vanilalewd jason hop hip (@vanilalewd) reported

    why does smash ultimate online suck so badly omg please fix this it’s so terrible everyone is lagging i can’t even move it’s like everything is in slow motion i’m going to lose my mind please i’m begging you FIX THE SERVERS @NintendoAmerica

  • OptimusCrime12 OptimusCrime (@OptimusCrime12) reported

    @VB3Pac Imagine if Nintendo made the game broken with stupid motion moves that don't look good or feel fun to use, also you can only do it well with a broken GameCube controller that has a defect only a minority of them have. Imagine. God, I hate melee fans.

  • DerekRumpler Derek Rumpler - Alkterios Games & ShinySquad.com (@DerekRumpler) reported

    @fourhman Not gonna lie, Sony has trained me to wait for a lot of their games to drop dramatically in price or to wait for them on PS Plus if I’m not sure. I rarely pay full price for PlayStation games. Funny how Nintendo almost never has that problem.

  • Mayo00o_ Mike (@Mayo00o_) reported

    @balasar100 @IGN I'll forever have a problem with Nintendo selling old *** games for full price and I don't think other game companies doing the same is the solution. Nintendo's games do well cause they're almost always really good and they have a dedicated audience even if they're sub-par.

  • Xvalai Xvalai (@Xvalai) reported

    @Nintendo @NintendoAmerica why is the Switch dumb with SD cards? Like why can't the game just download right onto it without issue?
