Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • HunterKernel Kernel #StopCovid19 (@HunterKernel) reported

    @assassinscreed @AssassinsDLC UBI needs to face this issue head on, even if it means halting current development. Can a work that crashes frequently win great reviews from the world? Is Nintendo releasing a work that crashes? You know answer.

  • Lttlman68 Lttlman68 (@Lttlman68) reported

    @Juffuffles @JeffHoogland @NintendoAmerica Can confirm this, I have two switches and run into this same silly problem.

  • scot_shot ShotByAScot (@scot_shot) reported

    @TWTHEREDDRAGON My limited edition Mario Odyssey console has the drift problem with the remotes. Nintendo won’t fix it. To say I’m unimpressed is an understatement! The only solution I have is to buy new ones and swap the shells. Nintendo are amazing but they are NOT consumer friendly.

  • gaiapurpure Kelly Cohen (@gaiapurpure) reported

    @BrizzyVoices Looks like he’s been laying low in your game; I had the same thing happen to me for a while. I thought it might have been an update glitch, at first, but now I suspect it’s down to luck, which seems to be something Nintendo swears isn’t a thing anymore in AC.

  • Kitchenfinks126 Dwight Desotelle (@Kitchenfinks126) reported

    @JeffHoogland @NintendoAmerica Hard agree. I have the same problem.

  • Shannxo 🤫 (@Shannxo) reported

    @Hasbro @MonopolyUK @NintendoUK fix your broken Switch game

  • Kaoz_GMN Kaoz (@Kaoz_GMN) reported

    @HiRezRomanova Gladly buy one of this new bundles but i really need the crash issue to be fix on Nintendo Switch, i have founders pack, i want to support but need to see the devs care about our platform too.

    You know that you have problems with someone if they blocked you everywhere AND on your Nintendo Switch

  • RoseFromTheAshs Queen of Roses, Waiting for Pokemon 💎⚪️ (@RoseFromTheAshs) reported

    @TedTalevski @MarioBrothBlog Here’s why they didn’t fix it, and this actually makes all stars worse: It wasn’t a port project. It was an emulation project because Nintendo didnt want to pull out their GC Devkits or bother porting the game because they needed to hit that 35th anniversary deadline

  • LeoAlejandrorn leonidas alejandro (@LeoAlejandrorn) reported

    @LightPunisher_ And Cory said it with reason, that prices go up because of production costs, if we weren't living in the era of broken triple aaa, incomplete, micro transactions, but from nintendo if there is no excuse for the price

  • PsyCoCinematics Psy Co. Cinematics (@PsyCoCinematics) reported

    @enoc_xx @AngryJoeShow @Xbox Shame the other companies followed, Nintendo has gotten especially DLC hungry when they were pretty opposed to it up until recently. Missed out on a lotta games due to the sub service, but I'm not touching or supporting something that I gotta pay to access that I get free on PC.

  • misterrbike Max (@misterrbike) reported

    @RonanLG If you got the joycons b4 they started fixing the problem you can probably still message Nintendo support and get them to repair it for u for free. It worked for me a few months ago, they were kinda discreetly fixing them for free to try and avoid complaints. Hope this helps!

  • FictionPress FictionPress (@FictionPress) reported

    Update: * App translation service timeout issue has been resolved * Note that we do support any non-current gen game consoles including Nintendo (*DS), Wii (U), and Sony PS3.

  • cooloooniy Colin (@cooloooniy) reported

    @IGN Ok this is legitimately stupid af, nintendo repairs broken joycons free of charge for starters. And ive had 6 nintendo switch systems since its release only 1 had a drift issue and I was able to get it refunded and buy a new one from where I purchased it.

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • LTShowcase Luke Chapman (@LTShowcase) reported

    @ecmyers @Nefarious_Wes Yea was q childhood mystery as to whst happened to it. There was a screenshot of it in a Nintendo power issue but i cant remember which one and thats all i had ever heard of it until 2012. The game was finished just didnt get a release.

  • _Astro_Naught_ 🂱 Astro-Ellie 🂱 (@_Astro_Naught_) reported

    @mcorso20 Nintendo Zone actually shut down long before even the Wii services shut down. It was so strange, like when I got my 2DS it told me the service had been **** down lmao

  • Bodskih 乃ㄖᗪ丂Ҝ丨卄 (@Bodskih) reported

    @kidsmoove Microsoft started the pay live service and Sony followed suit.. and Nintendo now. The reason why this price hike problem got fixed because of Sony nation in combination of PC master race, & Nintendo nation complained. While most Xbox defending it. This is the power of gamers.

  • MaeBea2 MaeBea (@MaeBea2) reported

    @Pegasus01471 @HurtfulOnions Honestly with what Nintendo has done with copyright infringement issues this honestly isn't too unbelievable.

  • allislewd 𝓐𝓵𝓵𝓲𝓼!🔞 (@allislewd) reported

    @PecPkmn Nintendo fans: *whine nonstop about everything* Also Nintendo fans: WE DESERVE CRASH IN FIGHTERS PASS! WE DESERVE IT AND IF CRASH DOESN'T GET IN I WILL BEAT LINK TO A PULP!

  • Jirachi_The_God Inky 🔞 #LGBT+Ally (@Jirachi_The_God) reported

    @TedTalevski @MarioBrothBlog How dare Nintendo not fix something noone cares about.

  • kWEENiePiez kWEENie 🍁 (@kWEENiePiez) reported

    @lunaaluvbug Nintendo will fix all drift issues for free if you send them the switch. I've repaired two sets now

  • kajainpink kaja (@kajainpink) reported

    @byfluff B))) lol idk it's inexplicably funny, espec. the few graphic errors, being *in* a nintendo world + i'm hoping i can set-up my motion controllers to work as a wii mote and point

  • BoxedGoat BoxedGoat (@BoxedGoat) reported

    Ok Nintendo i’m quitting the Switch for now... AND FOR ONE REASON... STUPID DRIFTING CONTROLLERS... this is the only console that comes with drift... fix this or I will never use this stupid console again.

  • RmsZachary ZacharyRMS (@RmsZachary) reported

    @Kieran_Top @jamz3243 @amiiboAlerts Yes, it is a big problem. But you also buy things from Nintendo! You can't argue to people that "this is wrong and your supporting it" when you yourself are also supporting it.

  • infelsphere FUCKACCINO!!! (@infelsphere) reported

    does anyone remmeber the issue of nintendo power where it had a spread about twewy announcement and they called neku sakuraba neck sakuraba (i think it was nintendo power)

  • venuslrra agripina (@venuslrra) reported

    putting in characters that will appeal to both a general public and the nintendo fanbase. I know Nintendo is a really shitty company for many other reasons but I genuinely don't see issues with this.

  • BitSmall_x3 Bit-Small (@BitSmall_x3) reported

    I had a dream last night that valve did Nintendo direct style presentation where they announced TF3, a new version of #TF2 made in the source 2 engine with new content. The immersion was broken when they announced Mii Gunner would be joining as the 10th mercenary...

  • ella_hollywood Ella Hollywood AKA sodacat (@ella_hollywood) reported

    @TGJasmineKay1 Problem is, like 3 Nintendo sets a month get to 10k and NONE have ever been reviewed.

  • HeroScrappy HappyScrappyHeroPup (@HeroScrappy) reported

    @Tru1Tani @Cesar_is_phat @eaphen We're comparing the yearly price of online subscriptions here and what you're offered with it, not additional fees brought on by your own decisions. Nintendo's is the cheapest but offers the least, basically just a glorified emulation rental service.
