Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MichaelTheX2 MichaelTheX (@MichaelTheX2) reported

    @Minecraft @NintendoAmerica Can you fix the switch version

  • SurferFTW26 SurferFTW - PLEASE PLAY TWEWY AND NEO:TWEWY (@SurferFTW26) reported

    @Domzeynn No problem! And sadly, I wouldn’t have high hopes for a sale, Nintendo published Final Remix so it usually doesn’t go in sale, the last time when it did was last year because of the anime

  • anothermedium1 Red (@anothermedium1) reported

    Does anyone know how to fix circle pad drift on the Nintendo 3DS? I haven’t played on it in a while and the circle pad is freaking out. #nintendo #nintendo3ds

  • AVGN82 Carl Lavery (@AVGN82) reported

    @RallyFlowBro @ducksindisguise For me it basically fixes most of the issues I have these days with the game, just a shame Nintendo don't go to the same amount of effort with it

  • SomaCovington Soma Myles Covington (@SomaCovington) reported

    Really wish Nintendo would try a little harder with their support, I shouldn't have to contact them multiple times for the same problem because no bugger is responding! At this point is ring them if they actually had a support number or even a webchat, but no, just a webform 🙄

  • Jon_Finkel Jon Finkel (@Jon_Finkel) reported

    "i got 99 problems but a Switch ain't one" - my boy after i sent him to his room and he was really quiet for like an hour but then i remembered he had his Nintendo in there

  • TalkBlerdyToMe Alexander Scamilton (@TalkBlerdyToMe) reported

    I love @NintendoAmerica 's customer service cause you can text them to get help.

  • FiendRiver Joseph/דב ✶ (Fiend) (@FiendRiver) reported

    Sell Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, etc to Sony or Nintendo or something. Have Blizzard break away and become its own thing again, run by decent human beings. Throw Kotick & Townsend onto their own personal island (or whatever) where they can just **** off from the rest of the world.

  • ralongtin Robert (@ralongtin) reported

    @LazyBearGames @Nintendo While this did fix the Comedy Show issue, unfortunately it still crashes elsewhere. Love the game, but it’s still fairly unplayable. Disappointing to have fun making progress, only to be dropped into the Switch home screen. :-(

  • doagrl Jenn (@doagrl) reported

    @Vigilante_Blade @impooplord @ArloStuff I read the "headlines". Nintendo needs to fix joycon drift for everyone, for free, ASAP! But the rest basically boils down to "they are not doing what I want them to do, so they are bad". That's the argument of a child & whoever owns and/or follows that blog needs to grow up.

  • sacredartclub m (@sacredartclub) reported

    i think owning a nintendo switch would solve all my problems

  • LoudCartoonist LoudCartoonist99 (@LoudCartoonist) reported

    @AboutNintendo Even if Activision reveals a brand new Crash or Spyro game, nobody is going to let those make us ignore what Activision has done. Nintendo was just being mean at worst. Activision is by all means very abusive.

  • 1deadysin emo (@1deadysin) reported

    @NintendoAmerica when do you plan to fix joycon drift or do you like the money you get from people having to buy new ones every month

  • UmbrasMercy Umbra (@UmbrasMercy) reported

    @Yukiko_the_Fox @PokemonUnite Tencent make it, they are the most known company for *************** for monetization. They won't fix it unless nintendo force them and they won't so. And unforntentally protesting will do nothing other then save your sanity from this game.

  • Idk_ask_someone Zac (@Idk_ask_someone) reported

    @Daaaaaawwwwwwn It's either a problem of getting it to run well, or trying to get Nintendo to do a cross over with them and letting them have that character on other devices

  • _CSenpai_ ⚢ Senpai ⚢ (@_CSenpai_) reported

    One of the worst things Nintendo has ever done was release those squid sisters plushies, Ppl with them as their icons are nothing but trouble (hj)

  • Thechamp2025 brandoncolley (@Thechamp2025) reported

    @NintendoAmerica for ddlc+ there is a huge community that mods the game is there away that we can make/play mods for ddlc+ on the switch without getting into trouble

  • JackAtk69600400 Jack Atkinson (@JackAtk69600400) reported

    @Darksonic22 @Sony It is and Nintendo do take them to fix which is good and on the flip side their consoles are £200 cheaper

  • Couch_Investor Couch Investor (@Couch_Investor) reported

    @jkingyens Ok so I watched the IGN talk and another video right now with some of the specs. Battery with these products is an issue, especially on the heavy games. But Nintendo games aren't as heavy as Steam ones so they could go for it. $400 portable gaming rig. Not bad

  • MatGarOlm Matias Garcia Olmos (@MatGarOlm) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Hey @NintendoAmerica I'm still waiting to contact me for this issue. Can you help me please?

  • JoinTeamB Legends (@JoinTeamB) reported

    @TMillly69 @meckimac If you can't get any. You can't get any. They are made in China. Not available for ANYONE. Not Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, it's a global problem. This is why tesla decided to not use one single chip and used 13 chips in conjunction. It's destroying the entire new car market.

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • dropkickbearcat Senpapi Bitty 🏳️‍🌈 (@dropkickbearcat) reported

    I renewed my Nintendo Online Service recently and I have 1 available slot. If you want to join, DM me! You'll only pay $5 for a Year-worth of Subscription. First Come;First Serve, bruh.

  • ItsFam0 Floss Man FVM (@ItsFam0) reported

    My Switch been acting up with errors everytime I try and start a game @NintendoAmerica I’m feeling very evil rn

  • shadow_griever ShadowGriever (@shadow_griever) reported

    @PretzelJones Did i say they are dumb?? You are reaching here and getting emotional over facts. 25BN thats facts right there. without relying on a gamepass service. Im just saying Traditional business is still the best as shown by Nintendo and Playstation. Yes Nintendo earned more than xbox

  • onlyitsmereid Hyped for metriod dread (@onlyitsmereid) reported

    @Lee_Guardian1 @NintendoAmerica @Hasbro The problem would be the mini games

  • lokizarro Loki (@lokizarro) reported

    @OhNoItsAlexx That's what happens when you work to appease and service the corporations rather than the consumers. The latter loses trust in both parties when corporatism is prioritised on both sides. I mean, Alex ya ****** social reject, you play Nintendo so you're a hypocrite, you clowwwn.

  • TheTishkoff Tishkoff (@TheTishkoff) reported

    @jaykimdotnet @NianticLabs isn’t interested in player base. They only care about the POI database. Pogo is their only game where distance seems to be an issue. I wonder how much is @NintendoAmerica doing. Probably wouldn’t be wise to call out daddy Nintendo.

  • Darksonic22 Jake (Nerdy Bird Games 🦉) (@Darksonic22) reported

    @JackAtk69600400 @Sony Totally fair, Nintendo do it aswell, don’t get me wrong I love the consoles but drift is an issue and it needs sorting

  • nrm824 Nico (@nrm824) reported

    @xMBGx I see many people starting to predict that the Nintendo switch will outsell the PS2, since it's selling so well, but I doubt it. I think the PS5 will either due to production issues. They say they'll be shortages threw the entire first half of the generation.
