Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Minnothebunny pixel witch 👾 (@Minnothebunny) reported

    @DisneyDLV I’ve encountered a glitch today, Nintendo switch lite: when I try to access Collections > Characters, it wont let me scroll past the Frozen gang anymore. I want to check Donald’s daily favorites :-(

  • DeoScott Deo Scott 🇺🇦 (@DeoScott) reported

    @NintendoAmerica No problem

  • ZeroGiblets Nick-Foo (@ZeroGiblets) reported

    I’ll admit I’m part of the problem because nintendo will put out a rehashed half-baked pokemon game and I’ll still politely ask for a fork and knife so I can devour it.

  • aggromango1 🎃aggropumpkin🎃 (@aggromango1) reported

    Why do so many people hate the idea of a Nintendo Cinematic Universe? It's a neat idea and I don't see anything not working if the characters all belong to Nintendo.

  • Skulllter Skulllter🆖 (waifu modeler) (@Skulllter) reported

    @cant_piss @NintendoAmerica or the promotional team made an oversight like the social media platforms compressing the upload and it screwed up the colors (common issue). idk we'll see in a few hours not a hater but, i see problems with the poster.

  • AndresSRobles93 AndresEd (@AndresSRobles93) reported

    @TheNCSmaster @NintendoAmerica Na twitter is going to crash again

  • bapotiline836 Sonia Lewd (@bapotiline836) reported

    @elliotduby Seeing all these reveals of the characters and Nintendo getting them right the first time makes me depressed that the Sonic movie struggled with that one really bad character design and had to fix it. Why is it so hard to be a Sonic fan?...😔

  • brxndybrxndy brandy (@brxndybrxndy) reported

    @NintendoCanada @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA Day 27 (28 with Splatfest) of asking for a fix for the “not enough players” error on Splatoon 3. Fix it or refund me and everyone else who bought the game and still can’t play due to this error.

  • snorkel_dolphin RarewareFreak91 (@snorkel_dolphin) reported

    @reventlow @Nintendo having the same problem, i think it's something on their end

  • SoWMontaru Montaru @ Xenoblade 3 numbers go Brrrrrrrrr (@SoWMontaru) reported

    @HyperCole64 Nintendo will send it almost certainly, but it’ll depend on your post office or building if you live in a complex if they’ll accept it. Probably shouldn’t be an issue though but you can talk to them before hand if you want to be sure

  • Splat3Errors Splatoon 3 Connection Errors (@Splat3Errors) reported

    I will say I've experienced way less connection errors since I plugged myself in... but that doesn't excuse Nintendo's garbage connection issues that I only experience when playing Splatoon on wifi.

  • Dejimon11 Deji Majek (@Dejimon11) reported

    @Neoxon619 I feel like Pokémon is the only major issue mainly outside movie rights it’s owned by 3 different companies and there’s a reason why it doesn’t get as much crossovers with Nintendo IPs.

  • bapotiline836 Sonia Lewd (@bapotiline836) reported

    These Mario movie character design reveals made me realize something. Nintendo manage to get these designs right the FIRST time. Whereas with the Sonic movie, SEGA had to fix one really bad design. I love Sonic & his games, but sometimes it feels depressing to be a fan... 😔

  • Cbreezy91 Hotdog Wizard (@Cbreezy91) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix his flat butt

  • 1Bprice NF-T. Rowe Price (@1Bprice) reported

    @0xKeef Sweet! can you bring your nintendo? Mine's broken. I blew in the cartridge and everything. Didn't work.

  • romaniandrei Andrei Rotariu (@romaniandrei) reported

    @Stephen_Coco @Wario64 Call Nintendo, ask to speak to tier 3 supervisor, they’ll place an order for you. I had the same issue and no one could figure out why it happened.

  • ImprobableLem improbablelem (@ImprobableLem) reported

    I love Nintendo but I really hope I don’t come across as a blind fanboy. Nintendo has a lot of problems but I still really enjoy most of the games.

  • LapisTheWolf LapisTheWolf (@LapisTheWolf) reported

    BRUH IS THE NINTENDO DIRECT BROKEN?

  • DRAXOMOSPHERE deez.1080p.10bit.DVXRip.6CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.mkv (@DRAXOMOSPHERE) reported

    realised the mario movie trailer premieres as soon as i start work 😿 @nintendo PLEASE FIX THIS

  • jgreene23 James Greene (@jgreene23) reported

    @NintendoAmerica the shipping address validation tool in the shop is broken. Just cost me ordering the N64 Switch Controller. Please fix so that we may try again next time they are in stock. Thank you!

  • DJDazzyDeaf666 🐼DJDazzyDeaf🐼 (@DJDazzyDeaf666) reported

    @potatogal69 @Nintendo Oh you finally got the joy-con drift issue now🤦 hey just enquiry with Nintendo and send it in and they will fix it (just the joy-con)

  • botanphal 💙SPOOKY Shiver x Frye Enjoyer💛 (@botanphal) reported

    And I mean nintendo only cares if you’re trying to make money off of something, and well majority of fnf mods are free so it’s not like there should be an issue on that side of it

  • thecoywolfzear1 thecoywolfzearoth (@thecoywolfzear1) reported

    @CzBacklash A good distance I imagine due to all the licensing issues since Smash into just Nintendo characters.

  • sourchenle luluzinho (@sourchenle) reported
