Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • wind_tempos Taylor 🌿🔜 Second Sky (⎌ℕ⎌) (@wind_tempos) reported

    Predictions for @Nintendo's #E32021 Direct tomorrow: - No "Switch Pro" announcement - BOTW 2 gets an actual title and a release window of "Spring 2022" - Either a Splatoon 3 Global Testfire announcement or nothing at all - Either Master Chief or Crash Bandicoot in Smash

  • EntityBoi Alientity 👽 (@EntityBoi) reported

    @Neta_Knight12 eggman has no chance in smash he doesnt even have enough moves i both despise and adore the idea of crash for smash tho, his moveset would be so fun but hell be all anyone uses most likely yeah idrc abt anything nintendo except smash bros lmfao mario kart 9 would be nice tho

  • RoyNumber Roy Number 1 (@RoyNumber) reported

    @solais143 @RevivalOfPotara Nintendo will disappoint me like every other company at this Video game crash of 2021 is upon us

  • Derpybreads2 Derpybreads2 (@Derpybreads2) reported

    @ChaIIengerPackX @KondorSSBU @NintendoAmerica Me when Stupid dummy crash gets in instead of not cringe based Cinderace 😒😒😒😒😒

  • Chadwhisker LalaDee (@Chadwhisker) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia I'm not necessarily a fan of Microsoft but I feel like they are best show already. Nintendo would have to do something that is impressing instead of just BOTW2, or crash in smash.

  • RaceMySoul Clank (@RaceMySoul) reported

    I want all devs to get the same flak MS gets because this kind of backlash actually gets problems solved. Bootlicking has only helped Nintendo get away with ****** stuff and allow them to lower the quality of their products.

  • AmberIsAQT Amber 💕🧡 (@AmberIsAQT) reported

    @NormalKara bruh Nintendo constantly has artificial scarcity, they don't give a **** about art preservation, they are still selling broken products that they know don't work but they just don't give a ****, they have tons of gacha games that are worse than ******* EA

  • cficare Chris B, LLC (@cficare) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia Yes, because Nintendo fanboys have a problem.

  • DanrebV DRV (@DanrebV) reported

    @chadvictory LOL ahh the August issue of Nintendo Power was so litty.

  • insanelybuff exbuff (@insanelybuff) reported

    @zachhammer @elfbot i think the point of third parties totally abandoning the switch/giving it broken bad ports because it's just too wimpy is a solid one, but nintendo has had almost non-existent third party support since the n64 so it just comes w the territory lol

  • itzMaz95 Mαz. (@itzMaz95) reported

    @ItzVCiPz I know Nintendo changed the Connection infrastructure, and that still doesn't explain that I, as a mexican player who has slow connections didn't had lots of problems on Splatoon 2. Of course there were matches with bad connections, but they weren't a lot. Not all games are Smash

  • Fried_Melon__ Prince (@Fried_Melon__) reported

    Nintendo E3 wish list All I want is Monolith's new IP and XCX Ported. Come on that's all I want. Also show me Bayo 3 you cowards. For Smash I have no idea. Doomguy? Crash? Tales of Rep?

  • JobModeSD Unbaelievably Baesic (@JobModeSD) reported

    On the one hand, it's great that Nintendo is repairing the Joy Con drift issue for free. On the other hand, I've temporarily lost my primary source of entertainment while on the bus. Guess I should... Get some books or something?

  • GhostDreaded Dreaded Ghost (@GhostDreaded) reported

    @Br0sharp @Dusty_Carpet_ @yggdrasilsaltar I’ll never forget this moment. Years ago in Splatoon, a 4v4 match became a 1v1. Both sides disconnected and the match still continued. Not sure why Nintendo can’t fix online. We kinda pay them for it

  • SupTheGamer Sup | #BlackLivesMatter (@SupTheGamer) reported

    Why does Nintendo Twitter keep acting Crash is a lock for Smash DLC? Even if it is E3 season Want him all you want but so far there is no leaks that prove he is coming lol. @HeroOfTime125 @enrico_cusimano

  • ItzVCiPz V-CiPz™‏ (@ItzVCiPz) reported

    @DJK1NG_Gaming My issue with theeese keeeeds is that they are not smart enough & not deep into gaming enough to know that Nintendo has a new online infrastructure they implemented for any new games going forward which started earlier this year. They are basing their opinions on their playtime.

  • taoleafy Evan (@taoleafy) reported

    @profgalloway @netflix The problem is they don’t own the rails like PlayStation, xbox, and Nintendo (even Apple with arcade has this). For AAA gaming outside consoles, no one can compete with Steam. Even the big dogs like Amazon and google quickly get bounced out of this space.

  • litucino alisaurio (@litucino) reported

    @lizarinRed That makes me think they may be working on some sort of remaster of the trilogy after all... either that or they are having issues with Nintendo. It has been said Hobonichi is the one stopping Nintendo from releasing Mother 3 because Nintendo wants Itoi to be involved.

  • jershloaf Jershloaf (@jershloaf) reported

    I'm gonna react to the Nintendo E3 direct tomorrow, and I'll play some guilty gear afterward. I would like to stream guilty gear now, but with all the matchmaking errors, I don't know how well it would go.

  • lucitype1 lucitype🪐 (@lucitype1) reported

    some ******* from thailand hacked into my nintendo account and spent $80 on v-bucks.... i’m mostly mad bc dude you went through the trouble of hacking just for FORTNITE???? at least spend it on something worthwhile goddamn

  • fan_neptune 🕹️NeptuneSuperFan🎮 (@fan_neptune) reported

    Maybe I'm being too sensitive, but does anyone else find it a little condescending when a company acts like the problem isn't them, but it's you? Like how's my console acting up when I can get on the store, but I can't download an update. That's on you Nintendo! Not me! YOU!

  • tyuzinhuh Tyuh (@tyuzinhuh) reported

    @Stealth40k This has been the problem with expectations regarding Nintendo's E3 in the past years I'd say. Because they usually go last, there's usually a lot people are going in expecting, they are BOUND to be disappointed...

  • sorcery_roonan J | miiverse (@sorcery_roonan) reported

    @RUNN1NGOUT I plan on reporting your account in the hope Nintendo of America will take the threat against my life seriously. I am giving you advanced warning in the hope you realise the error of your ways and provide a suitable and adequate response before I need to resort to such measures.

  • sol_foxie ☀️ (@sol_foxie) reported

    the nintendo switch is the only console I’ve had that manages to lose connection to a wired controller and judging by the fact the charging doesn’t stop I’m not sure it’s a cable issue

  • CheesyMac10 CheesyMac10 (@CheesyMac10) reported

    i am going to bet 400,000 dollars that the smash fighter in the nintendo e3 presentation will NOT be crash bandicoot

  • Javelin_46 Michael (@Javelin_46) reported

    With the Nintendo Direct tomorrow I'm gonna go ahead and iron out some light predictions, the only thing I really 100% expect from new stuff is a smash character, it just makes sense. Who? idk. I really thought Crash was a shoo in like 3 characters ago but who knows now.

  • GDpipe1 Pipe! #CrashForSmash (@GDpipe1) reported

    Hey! Why crash bandicoot's official account doesn't post any tweet 1 day before Nintendo direct? 👀 It doesn't means nothing but COME ON we can dream.! #CrashForSmash #CrashBandicoot #UnleashTheBandicoot

  • AmberIsAQT Amber 💕🧡 (@AmberIsAQT) reported

    @NormalKara I guess maybe not unethical but extremely anti-consumer and also how do you know that they don't crunch their employees? Judging by how rushed and broken SWSH feels I'm almost sure it was made with a ton of crunch, Nintendo is just very secretive about how their games are made

  • SinginBrakeman Christian S (@SinginBrakeman) reported

    @Stealth40k Agreed - Nintendo's been subject to the same pandemic issues as everyone, so I'm going folks don't get unreasonably excited for tomorrow.

  • DurradonXylles Durradon "That Guy" Xylles (@DurradonXylles) reported

    Here's hoping that @NintendoAmerica and @BandaiNamcoUS will kill it tomorrow for #E32021's final day, but this year has been the worst #E3 I've ever seen. I hope this list will help in fixing the broader issues this year's digital festivities have had.
