Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • finalmasterm0dx FinalMasterM (@finalmasterm0dx) reported

    @Win98Tech This plus Sony apparently wanting to push more censorship. If Nintendo and PC doesn't continue to save gaming, we're going to see another crash.

  • omegazio Horizon Zero Omega (@omegazio) reported

    @KingSonyPony339 @OrigiGreatness It really didn't have to come to this but now someone gotta get their hands ***** because some greedy *** decided lets not only piss off our PlayStation fans audience but lets devalue our PlayStation platform even more Sony acting like they're older than nintendo imma fix that.

  • LadyEllesmera LadyEllesmere (@LadyEllesmera) reported

    @TheHeroicEffort @its_menieb @NintendoAmerica They didn't even say anything about the anniversary >_> not a peep. That's my biggest issue.

  • SweatMyTM87 🌹Inspired Condescension 😘 (@SweatMyTM87) reported

    @PhivesSSB Some people do not have ethernet hookups. Some people don't want to shill out more money for an apparatus nintendo should have included in the damn system. "I don't like playing against lag online so you need to change you behavior". **** that.

  • ThriniT Thrinity (@ThriniT) reported

    @NinjaWeedle @KenzieMunchkin @NintendoAmerica "At some point" isn't the problem. All the time is.

  • KosmicKraken KRAKEN 🦑 (@KosmicKraken) reported

    Well, it's about that time of the year again . . . time to send my 3rd Joy Con into Nintendo to repair the drifting issues again . . . #joycondrift

  • betheymoth Garr, Monstrous Meteor-Munching Malcontent Lv 1312 (@betheymoth) reported

    @SpeaksWithBones they've been doing the soulless corporation thing for about as long as I've been alive. people laud the 'nintendo seal of approval' for 'saving games' from the great video game crash as if it weren't a ******* band-aid, or an attempt by Nintendo to stranglehold the market

  • HowieBlatz Pope Blatz XIII (@HowieBlatz) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Though considering the issues with XBox and Dualsense controllers I guess it isn't very exclusive at this point is it.....lol

  • MechaTogekiss Guess Who? (@MechaTogekiss) reported

    @PixlPixel @HatokTalk Yes, the only first paty game to receive a permanet price drop is Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. And that was published by Ubisoft Internationally. I hate the company but a broken clock is right twice a day. And maybe Nintendo should listen to the broken clock

  • LadyEllesmera LadyEllesmere (@LadyEllesmera) reported

    @TheHeroicEffort @its_menieb @NintendoAmerica 1. You dont get my issue 2. Don't tell me to chill my dude

  • mariofan48 Shadowking58 #RaymanForSmash #PhoenixForSmash (@mariofan48) reported

    @minus169 @Master0fHyrule Honestly, I love Crash, I grew up with his games just as much as I have with Rayman games. But I just, have no desire to see Crash in Smash, at least, not when Rayman is literally SO CLOSE to being on the roster because of the relationship between Nintendo and Ubisoft.

  • eCockpit89 Ethan K. (@eCockpit89) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Nice, hopefully you rewarded Crash Bandicoot for his help in this endeavor...

  • Thesmg4 The smg (@Thesmg4) reported

    @NintendoAmerica i think The reason this was not in the direct is because they probs wanted to annouce it 31 days before the next gen versions came out on march 26th same with crash that was annouced two weeks ago on the 9th 31 days til its out

  • pasta_wheat Quarantined Box of Wheat Pasta (@pasta_wheat) reported

    @PheroFabulous @vgmobster The fact that it's getting a release isn't an issue. It's that the release costs the same amount as a game that would have had much more work involved in it's creation and release. Nintendo keeps charging that much because they know people will defend getting over charged.

  • BanditoDom ::Døm:: (@BanditoDom) reported

    @TheOneFecker @NintendoAmerica I'm sure a lot of people did, but compared to how many people were hoping for some other glaring omissions to the roster such as Crash, Sora, Doom Guy, Master Chief, Rayman, etc, this character completely pails in comparison. You'd have to be blind not to see that.

  • zer0saber 10sts0u1 (@zer0saber) reported from Brooklyn, New York

    @Joeybatz33 @PlayStation Yeah I dont care about going on pc but I would take issue with it going to xbox or Nintendo.

  • PaulTurn2308 Paul Turner (@PaulTurn2308) reported

    @SwitchConsole everyday for the past 3 weeks my nintendo switch no longer charges, changed over the AC adapter and tried the wall socket/docking station no charge or power. My switch is 2 yrs old and had nothing but problems please help #badproducts #NintendoSwitch #poorproducts

  • Frankafer Frankafer (@Frankafer) reported

    @NintendoAmerica As much as you guys say “Just play it on Nintendo 3DS” the problem with that is I’ve never had a 3DS and I’ve always wanted to play this game so I don’t care if it’s 10$ cheaper I’m buying the game, and I’m going to play it

  • VGTomO Tom Orry (@VGTomO) reported

    @Chris_Dring Nintendo should have asked Crash Bandicoot to get Tony on the Direct. He's the decision maker now it seems.

  • saadani_brahim El-Hadj (@saadani_brahim) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Crash and Tony Hawk are the 2 Final DLC Characters for Smash. lol.

  • Henry13043664 Henry (@Henry13043664) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Well looks like the conversation of Nintendo,Crash Bandicoot and Tony hawk was canon all along

  • Sol_Schism Brandon (@Sol_Schism) reported

    @OfficeCubicle_ @PufuuLive if you take an hour to optimize your network it makes a huge difference. I play online splatoon 98% connection issue free. Games with nasty sub fees are usually the kind with servers (wow being $180 annually vs nintendo being $35 annually for 8 accounts)

  • Triforceriku_ Triforceriku (@Triforceriku_) reported

    @SYACVG I read this as Nintendo, as in the company, having an issue with all the red, so my thought was "Just make them not red"

  • No_Limit_Gamer Lord Jamar (@No_Limit_Gamer) reported

    @FlynnBotJus83 @XcloudTimdog Xbox does not need to be Sony or Nintendo that’s the problem with you types you been feed something for so long you think there is no other way to skin the animal and Xbox has exclusives is never stopped having them 1/2

  • omithehomie Nii India (@omithehomie) reported

    @Gdn432 Yeah the switch has that problem. Apparently someone wanted to sue Nintendo for that. Not sure how far he got with that. Ahh ok. Got it.

  • goodinvestingc Tilman Versch (Good Investing Center) (@goodinvestingc) reported

    "I think the average Nintendo gamer paid the equivalent of about $9 a month last year. If we compare that to other entertainment experiences that we have right now with Netflix or whatever it might be, or Spotify, we’re paying $15 to $16, no problem for that." @ToddWenning

  • MmdrezaSa اوکامی 🐺🥀 Okami (@MmdrezaSa) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I hope the Switch version is good as Crash one

  • gespenstmkII Akai Ringo (@gespenstmkII) reported

    hey oh the new nintendo direct announced the next pro yakyuu spirits for switch! i think this will solve my baseball fix for a few months

  • Tony_Ttek Tentatek 🦑SPLATOON 3!? (@Tony_Ttek) reported

    @ans743 @NintendoAmerica At your service sir 🤝

  • TimeTo_Vogt Adam Vogt (@TimeTo_Vogt) reported

    Honestly, I’m getting really excited to replay (and actually beat) #SkywardSwordHD. My biggest problem with that game WAS the motion controls. Now lets get those WW and TP ports! @NintendoAmerica
