Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • batouttahell24 Bat | like yeehaw (@batouttahell24) reported

    @NintendoAmerica maybe fix the emulation first and then i’ll give it a try? honestly considering going back to the regular subscription because the n64 emulation is terrible

  • LoogYoof 「Nicolas」 (@LoogYoof) reported

    @BottlesTheMole @perfectdark101 @NintendoUK i’d prefer they just release them all at once considering they’re 30 year old games that they obviously already have the roms for and could release at any time and they are only dripfeeding them to keep people subscribed to their overpriced service

  • thechurroman27 Joshua Rodriguez (@thechurroman27) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Maybe if you improve your online and make the expansion cheaper than the actual service

  • SuperHooktailJr 🎄🎁🎅Hooktail Jr🎅🎁🎄 (@SuperHooktailJr) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I would like to play this game but the expansion is too expensive and needs to be fixed. I can't even choose the option to just upgrade my service to only playing the N64 games.

  • kazoodac Andrew Czudak (@kazoodac) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Wario64 One of the best games on the N64 by far. Just hope the Switch version isn’t glaringly inferior like OoT…they really need to fix that…there’s no excuse.

  • Sethjohny A Skeptical Yoshi (@Sethjohny) reported

    @YeetBsbakery @gangryeet @IGN Let's be real, the online thing is gonna be an issue across all nintendo things for a while

  • wtfisalatke name (@wtfisalatke) reported

    @TheKrustyKoopa my problem is the lack of games and nintendo is only dropping one a month

  • BrutalDeluxe3 BrutalDeluxe (@BrutalDeluxe3) reported

    @GothmogPlays @sincespacies Xbox - never massive performance in japan Playstation - stock issues Nintendo - generally sells well regardless of above, but another factor - they used to sell standard consoles and handhelds, but by merging the two, more audience for single machine

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 142 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Spoderguy2 Keks (@Spoderguy2) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Lower the price on you service!

  • wavyyy_lol wavys gonna blast off (@wavyyy_lol) reported

    **** @NintendoAmerica and thier expensive *** online service

  • Zero_horizon00 Zero (@Zero_horizon00) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Can I not just buy the game? I'm not paying $50 for a subscription service I don't need.

  • SuperHooktailJr 🎄🎁🎅Hooktail Jr🎅🎁🎄 (@SuperHooktailJr) reported

    @NintendoUK Still haven't fixed the online service and is still too expensive and I can't choose the option to just upgrade my service to just only playing the N64 games.

  • GumCrisis Speed Boy (@GumCrisis) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I will if you fixed your online service and make it worth the price.

  • MikeSzoke Mike ☃️ (@MikeSzoke) reported

    -Crossfire X is immediately hype because of Remedy -Horizon Forbidden West looks nice still but I feel like we've seen SO much of it -Wish we saw more from Nintendo tbh -Show felt 2 hours too long Overall probably a 5/10-6/10. Main issue is how stupid long it is for no reason

  • HolyDiver1236 Unrepetant Pokemon Fandom Dissident (@HolyDiver1236) reported

    @TIRTAHALINGGA21 Yeah, backed that up to an Nintendo account… Whatever you do, Don’t clear the cache, if you like errors, crashing and restarting the downloading little MB at a time, consider this your new way to play

  • Vigilante_Blade #FreePM_Vigilante (@Vigilante_Blade) reported

    I want to officially announce a milestone for my blog chronicling Nintendo's anticonsummer behaviour. The page is now so large that it's actually lagging Chrome when I'm editing it. In other words, I may end up having to do a part 2 page.

  • BigShowRooIz Alex (@BigShowRooIz) reported

    Some geek will add rollback to Smash Ultimate and yuzu will become an objectively better experience than Nintendo's paid online service

  • ecleptix007 Cleppy ➡️ moving to Altair 🌟 (@ecleptix007) reported

    @heyhapii I ended up getting a refurb from Nintendo and honestly it’s perfect and fine and have had no issues!!! And it was only $70 or so more than a brand new lite 🥺

  • BigSto sto...doing his best. (@BigSto) reported

    @MaskOnFSMG unfortunately Nintendo doesn't have the rights to the game Microsoft does. we will probably get it on the online service but i can guarantee we'll probably never see a remake unless Microsoft works with Nintendo on a deeper level

  • king_goomba goomba (@king_goomba) reported

    @NintendoAmerica We want buy Paper Mario and all 64 games on e-shop, resurrect Virtual Console service, please!

  • ChrisMRUFC Chris (@ChrisMRUFC) reported

    @NintyPrime @DreamcastGuy @RGT_85 Problem is it was Overhyped by people claiming that Nintendo was possibly going to announce botw2 name as well as twilight and windwaker. With that level of expectations is not a shock to see why people are disappointed.I on other hand never expected anything big outside a direct

  • Scollectathon Scollectathon (@Scollectathon) reported

    @ClefferNotes People assume Nintendo intends to fix it as if they weren't aware of it all along and didn't care.

  • Nintend0m 🎄☃️Ho Ho Ho Domino☃️🎄🆖️ (@Nintend0m) reported

    @NintendoAmerica We used to get a bundle of games released for each "virtual console" on this retro service every month, then it lowered to just every whenever-they-feel-like, then it lowered to only 3 snes and 1 nes game, and here we are where we only get ONE game, and nothing for snes, nes. 🗿

  • Ian_Bell Ian Bell (@Ian_Bell) reported

    @NintendoUK Shocking customer service!! Have asked for an immediate response as you have messed up an important order for Christmas that has been paid for! Have heard NOTHING back?!? Please can someone contact me.

  • fitzulasreviews Fitzula's Reviews tonikaku s2 hype (@fitzulasreviews) reported

    @MartyM1981 @NintendoUK Doubt that will happen due to licensing issues

  • XZero319 XZero319 (@XZero319) reported

    @kazoodac @NintendoAmerica @Wario64 Played it a bit this morning. I didn’t notice any glaring issues. Movement seemed to be tight enough and there wasn’t any real delay. There probably is some level of input delay if you really analyze it, but nothing that impacted my brief experience.

  • Mikeferaz Mike Feraz (@Mikeferaz) reported

    @NintendoUK IMPROVE THE SERVICE, FIX INPUT LAG FOR STARTERS

  • goshblox2007 🦅 🇺🇸 Golden Eagle 🇺🇸 🦅 (@goshblox2007) reported

    @BottlesTheMole @perfectdark101 @NintendoUK I would prefer all of them at once. They have the list of games so they clearly have a cherry picked list of what works well on their emulator. Why should we pay so much for a monthly service if they are just gonna drip feed us content that they already have planned?

  • jctorres_9999 JT (@jctorres_9999) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Let me buy the game instead of paying for a service
