Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Handler_Chan Zael (@Handler_Chan) reported

    Issue for me for as long as I have had Nintendo consoles. If your game is more than 2 years old there is no excuse for it not to be 20-30 bucks. It's like yea SH 2 is on switch for 60 bucks.....everywhere else the price lowers to 20 maybe 30 and switch....still 60....nah fam

    @rjbeasterw98 @NintendoAmerica So... Zero brightness, with auto brightness? Or autobrightness off and zero% brightness? Either way- if you have the screen at the lowest brightness I'm like 95% sure that's a universal "issue" with All OLED screens. Soft/Firmware won't really fix this issue.

  • Kaiju_James James Hall (@Kaiju_James) reported

    @DeekeTweak No they don't have a point they litterly used the excuse that all 3 companies are top gaming companies and making COD exclusive to one is bad while it is already exclusive to 2 of them why is it not a problem that Nintendo does not have COD.

  • Keito_VE Keitoshi (@Keito_VE) reported

    @Pixio01 @Reecee_yt It'll only stop when Nintendo themselves stop. I can agree that this seems as a Paper Mario-only issue, yet that's why many people are/should be against Tanabe partially leading PM's development staff.

  • lastones_lo Last Ones - Lampros (@lastones_lo) reported

    @Artoo87681421 @Pokemon Personally I'm not seeing the step up but only small improvements.. I have to agree that's a console problem tho. veltioseis but the truth is that it's time for pokemon and nintendo to make improvement.

    "This ***** still playin' Nintendo???" Yes ************ we was BROKE broke out here and that 99 dollar 'cube came in clutch. Now though, it's all wistful nostalgia for a bunch of stuff that came in hot & broken or got overhyped to levels unseen since because people were SO --

  • geckobeef average flatworm enjoyer (@geckobeef) reported

    Nintendo doesn’t really care about competitive they will never fix this + I’m being mean in saying competitive pokemon is not interesting because most of it is luck based. Can we just making fighting games more popular

  • skateymcgee Tye (@skateymcgee) reported

    @XboxP3 Just please put new Crash and Spyro titles on PlayStation and Nintendo platforms. They’ll disappear again without the support.

  • ChrisThe1Gamer Racoon Chris 🦝 (@ChrisThe1Gamer) reported

    @CMAgovUK @Microsoft @ATVI_AB Nintendo didn't got any new Call of Duty for years and jet they have the best selling console. So where is the problem?

  • sdcazares1980 Sergio David Cazares (@sdcazares1980) reported

    @VOOK64 If Nintendo had been smart about backwards compatibility, this would not be an issue.

  • leonard98058000 leonardo bernardes (@leonard98058000) reported

    @cultofthelamb please fix the frame rate on the Nintendo switch ;(

  • taydelcol tayshirt (@taydelcol) reported

    @NintendoAmerica For the love of all that is good, please fix the online... barely playable frame rate!

  • stewacai Steven Candies (@stewacai) reported

    @PaladinsGame I didn’t know about the scheduled maintenance and tried to play. An update was started that locked up my Nintendo Switch and I couldn’t play any games at all. Unfortunately had to delete Paladins for anything to work. I will start a redownload tomorrow. No problem.

  • ForgetfuP ForgetfuIPerson (@ForgetfuP) reported

    @FetusMuncher64 @FriendlyNetMan @paynushaver Nintendo switch players are the most normal causal and superior gamers. It’s the PC elitists that are the problem smh

  • X__Strife__X ザカリ (@X__Strife__X) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Nintendo to announce possibly a duo Twilight Princess and Windwaker. While I do support this, should consider on supply and demand problems with N64 controller and lack of remapping

  • leonard98058000 leonardo bernardes (@leonard98058000) reported

    @devolverdigital please fix the frame rate on the Nintendo switch ;(

  • DanixThe3rd Danix The Last Dragon King (@DanixThe3rd) reported

    And before some clown comes, SONY & Nintendo are not perfect as well as they need to fix some of their own issues, but at least it's not as damning as Microsoft were they launched a console with no 1st party games & little to 1st party games for 2022, like come on.

  • Catmagic_1976 Catmagic (@Catmagic_1976) reported

    @CMAgovUK @Sony @NintendoUK Third after Nintendo and Playstation so whats the problem?

    Well it looks like Fortnite season 4 is “Marvel" going by the mini leak from Nintendo I'll say it again I have no issues with Marvel My issue is Fortnite can't think of anything else to do and insist on needing Marvel because it's easy for them, I'm tired of Marvel now

  • Nintega94 Nintega (@Nintega94) reported

    @CakeyQuail @antdude92 If they do end up cancelling it & not refund pre-orders (With their current policy), Nintendo & WayForward are gonna be in a LOOOT of Legal Trouble

    @Chichenuggies oh i havent tried yet but the experience should be similar to online, just without the signature nintendo lag

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • XboxGamerD Xbox Gamer D (@XboxGamerD) reported

    @NauticalSoul84 @DestinLegarie Nobody else is crying except Sony. Nintendo, Google, Amazon etc... has no problem. So don't get your hopes up this deal will fail. CMA has no standing outside their feelings.

  • Heruthadon KING (@Heruthadon) reported

    @CMAgovUK @Microsoft @ATVI_AB Sony isn’t buying up publishers & throwing the games in a service .. Microsoft/ Xbox wants to play the money game instead competing. They are with more than 20 times more than Sony & Nintendo combined. They’re trying to force Gamepass on the competition!

  • Moonwalker_1986 Saad サアド سـعد (@Moonwalker_1986) reported

    @RE_Games Fix the very long loading times in RE Remake and Zero on Nintendo Switch.

  • purplemage572 Purple 紫の (@purplemage572) reported

    @pickyourownnose @fan_kisaragi @NintendoAmerica Fr. If anything I'd say that it's more reasonable to be angry at Playstation, because I've gone through 3 PS4s (used, on a shelf, no spills or smokers-) and they all had the overheating and boot loop problem. I have never ever seen an Xbox overheat- not even the 1st gen Xbox One.
