Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Stoniphantom Stoni.eth😾 (@Stoniphantom) reported

    Since my kids have broken 2 Nintendo switches when they share the controllers… maybe buying them a kite each fixes that

  • Anthony_Joe_Jr Cronic AJAX (@Anthony_Joe_Jr) reported

    I would love to play Smash online for just ONE full game without either 2 full seconds of input delay or HUGE lag spikes. @NintendoAmerica

  • docrocktex26 Propane Jane™ 🔥💣 (@docrocktex26) reported

    @perinteger @spifffan Yeah all bets are off on most of the video game consoles, wasn’t there a whole hunger games crisis for PS5s last year? We got a Nintendo Switch for my youngest and had no problems but I know the demand isn’t as high for those.

  • BubbleKirby77 Watercolor Kirby (comms) (@BubbleKirby77) reported

    @AndresL_1997 @CommunistPrtyAC @Epic_Kevster Nintendo has a ****** overpriced online service and overprices ports of their old games and SEGA did NFTs and claimed Blockchain gaming was the future, they're both ****.

  • effhaitch Future Imperfect (@effhaitch) reported

    Please stop using "they don't want you to know" unless there is proof of coverup. Lack of publicity ≠ conspiracy of silence. Earth knew about the "minus world" in SMB. Nintendo didn't try to hide it; they simply didn't publicize the glitch. Obvious clickbait is obvious.

  • Fammypoop Fammy Nugget (@Fammypoop) reported

    @Shadow62795666 @NintendoUK It might be broken since many ppl r trying to access the Eshop and other Nintendo services at once.

  • strangelesbian cynthia 🍥 sapphic tweets (@strangelesbian) reported

    @BrunestarCici the issue with the switch is that nintendo won't use some of its components to their fullest and that really sucks because it could run games much better than what it currently does😭😭

  • PeteSkerritt Pete Skerritt (@PeteSkerritt) reported

    Seriously, Nintendo. If emulation is too difficult for you, just give up and give us our money back instead of continuing to push out broken product. I’m embarrassed for you.

  • kolkagaming Kolkagaming (@kolkagaming) reported

    @dungeonsgame Hi Laura I’m sorry if i’m interrupting your Xmas holiday but i’m having an issues with Minecraft dungeons on Nintendo switch we’re the game after like 10-15 Minutes my game freezes. Is there a way to solve this?

  • gummysux peppermint gummy🎄 (@gummysux) reported

    @Hideki_Naganuma Fortnite Nintendo is bad tell them to fix their motion controls

  • IsaiahDaKing420 Isaiah King (@IsaiahDaKing420) reported

    @SneakyBoi_ @m1s3ry_ @NintendoAmerica If you’re not against those people, you are with them. You are adjacent to them and have no problems with them but get so ******* triggered when someone has the audacity to not hate this game and ignore it like a normal ******* person if it isn’t for them.

  • anoorthoek1 Tony Noorthoek (@anoorthoek1) reported

    @DonaldMustard Hopefully the day you fix fortnite on the Nintendo Switch, it plays like crap. You’ve tried to make it run “faster” all you’ve done is make it skip massive amounts of frames.

  • KoopaTrooper2 Uhh (@KoopaTrooper2) reported

    @TheNCSmaster @NintendoAmerica I mean without this big fix there's still more bug fixes so I would say so

  • Sharito742 Sharon ⚡ (@Sharito742) reported

    @Carls493 @ThisIsCSDX This is more the issue honestly. Developers of mature content can't no longer make say content on Playstation because Sony keeps censoring them. Nintendo, the family friendly company; is like yeah well whatever.

  • MrMase2 MrMase (@MrMase2) reported

    Error Code: 2124-7504 Switch says server operating normally but cannot access eStore, have signed in to Nintendo Online and used multiple internet connections @NintendoUK no service outage on maintenance page, please advise.

  • JVBetaPhotos JVB: Defender ⭕️f The METAVERSE. (@JVBetaPhotos) reported

    @iceman_turner @SickTv4k PlayStation games also sell and receive GOTY awards. So do Nintendo games. The only console focusing on their rental service is xbox, and their games don’t sell or win awards.

  • ShadowFoxArche Shadow Fox Infinite (@ShadowFoxArche) reported

    @Yami_Baddy Nope, the context is input lag. Just input lag. It’s somehow acceptable with worse results when it comes to XCloud, but Expansion Pass gets dragged for input lag that’s less noticeable to the layman, but teh PC emu can do it so screw Nintendo. The irony is deafening.

  • AscendedBones AscendedBones (@AscendedBones) reported

    @NintendoAmerica what the heck! Chabwick’s birthday is today so he won’t take his toy day gift!!! Fix please so I can, y’know, do toy day???

  • DidiPlays Didi (@DidiPlays) reported

    @telltalegames hello👋 I love playing your games. I have finally had time to play all waking dead's games on my Nintendo Switch but there is an error with the final season. It's impossible to play with my former save. May you help me please? I don't want to choose story builder

  • joshoowuh Joshua K. Harris (@joshoowuh) reported

    Hey @NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing why can’t I wear the reindeer hood and red nose together? This is an egregious oversight. Fix it, you cowards. #ACNH

  • OldPangYau Brandon (@OldPangYau) reported

    @jkreng Hell, I recently found out the issues that plagued the Super Nintendo version where they thought they could have "non decapitation" fatalities, including Kano's heart rip... and then Nintendo swooped in at the 11th hour and screwed them over.

  • umsirwyd chris (@umsirwyd) reported

    @cheezyc64 @NintendoAmerica If you got a problem with child level drawings of insects seek help

  • endzinni Cpt. Victor (@endzinni) reported

    Yknow the switch would probably be a decent console if it had slightly higher specs and ******* WORKED. I have 498 gigs free on my sdcard but ohno heres the 2005-0003 error also known as not enough free space also known as actually we at nintendo dont know what ******** is wrong

  • SomieStuff Chistmas and Something 🎄 (@SomieStuff) reported

    @Handsome_MemeYT @Reecee_yt Most switches can’t be homebrewed, more like “We need to get Nintendo to fix this BS”

  • inquiringhuman JDG (@inquiringhuman) reported

    Can't believe, in 2021, Nintendo's online service is still junk.

  • Phoenixhp429 david meers (@Phoenixhp429) reported

    @LeahDulce44 No problem I’ll bring over my Nintendo Switch with NBA 2K ‘22 and we’ll play lmao

  • DadInGeorgia DadInGeorgia 💙🏳️‍🌈🎄⛄ (@DadInGeorgia) reported

    As I finished the last-minute Christmas and birthday gift wrapping, I realize in sorrow that I am raising a Nintendo generation. I'm sorry, Crash Bandicoot. I wanted better for us.

  • maxterdragon Mike (@maxterdragon) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix the N64 games for Christmas.

  • JoshAfonso Josh Afonso (@JoshAfonso) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Why did people have a problem with this?

  • Yell0w_Sunkist ☃️ Sunkist ☃️ (@Yell0w_Sunkist) reported

    @Sharito742 Now if only Nintendo improved its trash online and actually fix joy con drifting.
