Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Ambris_Art Ambris (@Ambris_Art) reported

    @thdeadpool123 wat Fire Emblem is a series with a dozen plus games, and the reps are cherry picked from a variety of them. The vague rule I mentioned doesn't apply at all since they're Nintendo, but if it did it would have been broken by freakin Roy in Melee. Byleth doesn't even factor in.

  • ZapperTheFox ZapperTheFox (@ZapperTheFox) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Surprised twitter didn't crash this time

  • myfour2002 Ayane (@myfour2002) reported

    @Cibles_ and then my nintendo switch will crash

  • caavity2 caavity (@caavity2) reported

    @NintendoAmerica sephiroth was so dumb, i get steve was stupid but maybe listen the fans for legitimate good ideas? like geno, dante, crash, rayman, etc

  • bradney_ Marlo Hampton Updates (@bradney_) reported

    We need a new platformer character for the roster. Crash, Spyro, another Sonic character? Like come on. I hate Nintendo.

  • DLBandicoot DLBandicoot (@DLBandicoot) reported

    @NintendoAmerica ... still no crash bandicoot ...

  • IceFlavoured arts (@IceFlavoured) reported

    @bandicootpage @NintendoAmerica I think seriphoth is the only thing i can think of that would be more boring than crash, and I can only even think of him because he actually happened

  • OcUnnamed 🌻UnnamedLionOC🌻 🇧🇷 (@OcUnnamed) reported

    @NintendoAmerica That's not Crash, who's that !?

  • Quartzer10 Quartzer (@Quartzer10) reported

    @thegameawards @NintendoAmerica Thought Id note Its not cause "ItS aNoThEr AnImE sWoRdSmAn" as I think he deserves a spot (hes the main antagonist of one of the most famous RPGS) but Im just not too much into RPGs (Im more of a platformer sort of guy) and I'd rather have Crash than Sephiroth

  • SSF1991 SSF1991 (@SSF1991) reported

    Nintendo really wants to issue a cease and desist on Mario.

  • RoonIdk Roon 🍥 (@RoonIdk) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I'm legitimately surprise. I never imagined something like this XD still cool tho Man I feel bad for Crash and Jonsey fans xd

  • JadenSEAA Jaden🎁❄️ (@JadenSEAA) reported

    @Dgecontent @NintendoAmerica No problem

  • GojiPie01 GojiPie (@GojiPie01) reported

    @ev4n2k4 @NintendoAmerica Same way I feel Should of either been Crash, Spyro, DoomGuy, or Master Chief But nope we get this instead

  • mkdynasty22 Misa (@mkdynasty22) reported

    @Pokemonqueennn Its ok. But wasted spot for good pics like Sora or even Crash Bandicoot. Nintendo doesn't even appreciate those who wanted those I've aforementioned for long time. Itll be cool if they got in after but a better spot could've been chosen to take Sephiroth's place like Sora (KH3)

  • NSwitchSpace Switch Space (@NSwitchSpace) reported

    Fans: Waluigi! Nintendo: SWORD Fans: Sonic rep? Nintendo: SWORD Fans: Crash bandicoot? Nintendo: SWORD Fans: Geno? Nintendo: SWORD

  • GalacticX4 Galactic (@GalacticX4) reported

    @RadCharzrd @NintendoAmerica Yes. No Crash.

  • DSzostkiewicz Douglas Szostkiewicz (@DSzostkiewicz) reported

    @thegameawards @NintendoAmerica Either way, I hope Crash makes his way to the battlefield.

  • trc0912 trc0912 (@trc0912) reported

    @FrostlichTheDK @thegameawards @NintendoAmerica I was honestly hoping it wouldn't be Crash just because Banjo and Kazooie were so highly requested and then ended up being forgettable

  • Andrew_365_ Andrew (@Andrew_365_) reported

    Maybe the reason Nintendo shut down all their competitive scenes is the health issues. Can't really play games if you have carpal tunnel

  • PrRocker98 Pr_Rocker (@PrRocker98) reported

    Now if only Nintendo could A stop ******* over the community and B fix smashes terrible online

  • TheeSycoTik Thee SycoTik 2020 (@TheeSycoTik) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Was hoping for Crash Bandicoot or Conker but this isn't so bad and makes sense.

  • CloudMain_6 Cloud Main (@CloudMain_6) reported

    People are now bitching because it was not crash I really ******* hate Nintendo fans

  • potater124 potater (@potater124) reported

    @FNCompetitive Fix not being able to switch what your controller buttons do when you press it on Nintendo switch

  • _YaBoiiTj_ _YaBoiiTj_ (@_YaBoiiTj_) reported

    @NinEverything "Corrected a problem where, in combination with some TVs, the image would not be displayed in TV mode and an error occurred." "Corrected a problem which changed how the Control Stick and the C Stick on the Nintendo GameCube controller responded."

  • UltramarineJL Ultramarine J (@UltramarineJL) reported

    To any Smash players, a new fighter has been announced. I don't know who's it going to be but Nintendo can't always make people's request character like Crash or any particular character. I would like Sora join the smash.

  • bridgecrewdave Dave (@bridgecrewdave) reported

    @DianaWintah Also, the problem was they said Joycon on them which is a Nintendo trademark. Just don't put trademarks on your ****.

  • Harry54851042 Donut (@Harry54851042) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Bruh, everyone on youtube was expecting Crash Bandicoot.

  • RaptorX6789 Raptor X. (@RaptorX6789) reported

    @thegameawards @NintendoAmerica Wanted Crash but I won’t be a salty boi, is still pretty neat to get Sephiroth though, also thought the trailer promoted him very well. If he can slice through any stage too and not just the one he comes with that would be pretty epic.

  • squishyboyseth Sethoooooo (@squishyboyseth) reported

    @NintendoAmerica can you fix your online and regulate your shitty business practices before you throw us more unnecessary content to wolf down? i'm not saying no one wanted this, but the positives of having a hyped up newcomer are vastly outweighed by everything else

  • AmatGaymer AmatGaymer (@AmatGaymer) reported

    List of characters people want in smash -Crash -Sora -Rayman -Fortnite (all) -coco -baby yoda ______________ The list of characters Nintendo has licensing options to -not them
