Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Graslu00 Graslu00 (@Graslu00) reported

    @danotube1 EON lost interest on videogames, which makes it pretty clear that they stopped it again in 2014 when it was planned for Rare Replay. Why else would Microsoft try again if Nintendo was still / ever was an issue?

  • Graslu00 Graslu00 (@Graslu00) reported

    @danotube1 I never said they lied? They literally mention how they don't remember contacting or hearing from EON? I address Nintendo being an issue in 2008? What?

  • GabrielPrado854 Gabriel Fellipe do Prado (@GabrielPrado854) reported

    @AmongUsGame Question for ya: Why did you released the map only for Nintendo Switch? I know it was a glitch but maybe that glitch was profoseful.🤔🤔

  • Scott_Kellicker Scott Kellicker (@Scott_Kellicker) reported

    So moved by Birthday wishes from my dentist, 2 car dealerships, their service dept, my insurance company, and Nintendo. So thoughtful of you to send me the automated email.

    @nicomon7 @NintendoAmerica Just wake up earlier lol if u cant that's ur problem

  • TheGabe960 Gabe960 (@TheGabe960) reported

    @dunkpig Nintendo needs to really fix their hardware. This kind of stuff SHOULD NOT HAPPEN!!

  • PcElitist__ PC Elitist™ (@PcElitist__) reported

    @bastard7123 @sans_kirby @NintendoAmerica problem?

  • ryanccurtis01 Ryan Curtis (@ryanccurtis01) reported

    @RawkHawk2010 @NintendoAmerica YES! PLEASE!!! I NEED MY GIANT ROBOT FIX!

  • DoomAssistMe Victor Von Doom, PhD (@DoomAssistMe) reported

    @MattMcMuscles I think the issue with nintendo might be more complicated, in 2002 the sale to MS specifically included all Rare created IP. However since goldeneye was neither, theres probably some legal nightmare held up in rights to the games code.

  • mattthegamer172 Mattthegamer172 (@mattthegamer172) reported

    @StormYorha @NintendoAmerica I think we have a problem here

  • PrPro03 PrPro03 (@PrPro03) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Hot take: Crash will be a Mii costume!

  • montehasspoken Monte Has Spoken - Tim Beaumont (@montehasspoken) reported

    Can't believe the #NintendoSwitch is 4 years old now. Hopefully within the next 4 years @Nintendo might even fix the joycon drifts...

  • Blaze_PyroXZ (Blaze R. Thawne ) (@Blaze_PyroXZ) reported

    @MuradMGaming For me to buy the pro depends on how much a big upgrade will be and price and if they fix those funky joycons and how if games run better or not because we know how nintendo roll now days you aint getting up much

  • TheMaractusMan Blubbe (@TheMaractusMan) reported

    @mon_loch @NintendoAmerica Not really. If you punch somebody for no and they get upset and push you away, it’s not exactly an equal problem on both sides

  • PcElitist__ PC Elitist™ (@PcElitist__) reported

    @sans_kirby @bastard7123 @NintendoAmerica problem?

  • LBMandirin SHOLVEN, CEO of Savathun's Crusty Toilet Paper (@LBMandirin) reported

    @Echo_3_1_ You literally referred to her as a "nintendo switch" earlier, do you not see the problem with that?

  • watch_misfit watch_misfit (@watch_misfit) reported

    Currently have completely disassembled my nintendo pro controller to fix a sticky button. Pray for me!

  • Gamerstermaster Gamerstermaster (@Gamerstermaster) reported

    @chuggaaconroy I’m so sorry Emile. That sucks that you are having to deal with that. 8 pairs of joy cons is absolutely unacceptable. I think it’s time for Nintendo and Sony bc they are having similar joystick issues to come up with an actual fix. Bc all their doing is a patch job replacing them

  • FujinSamurai FujinSamurai (@FujinSamurai) reported

    @Woofingson @Reggie Ok ima say it to me it’s not that big of an issue esp since games are 70-80 bucks now also tf did you expect Nintendo has no reason to drop the price

  • mon_loch Loch mon (@mon_loch) reported

    @TheMaractusMan @NintendoAmerica I mean good on you, but the series fans also attack people who don't like pyra and mythra, its a really a problem on both sides

  • QuillySR Quilly (@QuillySR) reported

    @AboutNintendo @kirbyfan45 The first two aren't in themselves issues, it's just that when you add stuff together it results in a bunch of bland uninteresting menu's that the Wii U had beat by a lot. The switch is obviously the better console obviously but it doesn't feel like Nintendo, it feels bland.

  • Graslu00 Graslu00 (@Graslu00) reported

    @danotube1 They also mention that don't remember having any contact or hearing from EON, the chance is still there, and you just have to connect the dots with past events to have an idea of how it all went. Again, why would Microsoft go for it again in 2014 knowing Nintendo was an issue?

  • Elizondo8Marco Marco Polo (@Elizondo8Marco) reported

    I just checked with the store that I sent my Wii to and they’ve said there was an issue with the motherboard and they can’t repair it. So that means my Nintendo Wii is officially dead.

  • GabrielPrado854 Gabriel Fellipe do Prado (@GabrielPrado854) reported

    @AmongUsGame Question for ya: Why did you released the map only for Nintendo Switch? I know it was a glitch but maybe that glitch was proposeful.🤔🤔

  • Oreosareintres1 Mew (@Oreosareintres1) reported

    @leidran_main @onecooledgar123 this is a 3rd party game it won't run off nintendo's service's it will run off EA's and apex's servers are pretty good

  • Graslu00 Graslu00 (@Graslu00) reported

    @danotube1 Plus, nobody is saying Nintendo was never an issue. It's a certainty that in 2008 someone said no over there, but that doesn't mean they're the *only* reason, which is what we all try to explain to people. The reason we haven't seen it to this day is EON.

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • TranscendedPew Transcended Pewball (@TranscendedPew) reported

    @ItKiwiBurd @NintendoAmerica Fair point, I feel like John Jones only worsened the problem by spending all season recruiting hunters

  • zelmes1 Fane (@zelmes1) reported

    @JusticeForGame1 @NintendoUK Usually dust and dirt related rather than hardware failure, a spray of electric contact cleaner under the analog flap will fix it right up if that's the problem.

  • Graslu00 Graslu00 (@Graslu00) reported

    @danotube1 If giving information and expanding on the issue is being a fanboy of Nintendo then I don't know man lol. Anybody that knows me knows very well I'm anything but a Nintendo fanboy.
