Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • NatSpectrum NatSpectrum (@NatSpectrum) reported

    Tried using my @rayconglobal everyday earbuds with my Nintendo Switch after the recent bluetooth audio update...very disappointed to find there's a significant lag that is not only distracting, but also makes music games like Project Diva impossible to play. 😞

  • GibraltarFacts Awesome Gibraltar Facts (@GibraltarFacts) reported

    @LisaPalmer_priv Minor spelling error on my behalf Time to throw my Nintendo Wii in the bath

  • kingboozx3 Arkeyan Ace (@kingboozx3) reported

    @RobertLouisRob3 @NintendoAmerica @PUMA Nintendo is just like EA. "We have a vast amount of games as a part of our subscription service" *Has not even 100 unique games*

  • PersonInBeta Charlie Finnessy (@PersonInBeta) reported

    I'm still surprised Nintendo added Bluetooth headphones support to the Switch. No other game console has done that, aside from the Vita, which did it badly, with noticable lag. I wonder how long they were working on it, and what changed their opinion about it.

  • bunsdarien Dawn B-P (part of the Unit02x Family) (@bunsdarien) reported

    @nintendo why?? what are you doing? A server communication error has occured.. and why only certain people with it?? Error Code 2306-0502??

  • sandmancanuck30 🇨🇦Ryan🇨🇦 (@sandmancanuck30) reported

    @mariokarttourEN My older phone takes the new update...Nintendo this doesn't make sense. Please fix this ****.

  • Estugon Estugon (@Estugon) reported

    @LiveOverflow I once used the webbrowser on my Nintendo 3DS to research PC Internet issues.. it was an adventure.

  • kennethdl Ken L (@kennethdl) reported

    @gamesyouloved Find roms to emulate. Playing on official hardware is too expensive to start unless already available to you. (Eg utilize Nintendo online service)

  • Hect_ez Hector Yerena 👑 (@Hect_ez) reported

    @JohnnyZaccari I'm not expecting nintendo to do anything with NSO tbh, its so late in the game, I'm not not even bothering with it, they really dropped the ball on this ever since they implemented the service

  • Alex79uk Alex79, OK? (@Alex79uk) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Now maybe GB and GBA games on the online service? Or, you know...ANYTHING!

  • glowingsurf sg (@glowingsurf) reported

    smokin broken windows playin my nintendo

  • doamd83 doamd83 (@doamd83) reported

    @RealGamer27 @TWTHEREDDRAGON Nintendo and PlayStation gamers don’t need to rely on a glorified rental service to enjoy video games.

  • jgonick Jeff Gonick (@jgonick) reported

    thinking about how at a company retreat they had us write down what we wanted in life and I wrote “the confidence to feel okay when I’m lost” and my friend wrote “a Nintendo wii” and I got a broken compass and he got a Nintendo wii

  • owldorm OwlD0rm4 (@owldorm) reported

    @nintendolife Oh goddamn it Nintendo. You got me with the N64 and GB games coming to switch but u gotta ruin it with a higher priced tier for a semi functional service

  • excalibarsonic Rexcalibar (@excalibarsonic) reported

    @SithFrogKermit @SlimKirby Fortnite is a different story, because once upon I time I was the same way (though I wasn't very good, took me hundreds of games to get a single win), but with Nintendo games, EVERYONE suffers from your poor internet. If you lag, everyone else experiences it too.

  • BJJones11 Brandon Jones (@BJJones11) reported

    @NBA2K_MyTEAM any word on a patch/fix for the ascension issue on Nintendo Switch? Multiple users reporting the same problem and my son is incredibly frustrated since he saved up to buy this game himself!

  • boyreputation guilherme maciel (@boyreputation) reported

    the problem seems to be about nintendo @NintendoAmerica @NintendoCanada @NintendoPT

  • KiwiLeSurvivant Buy a damn PS4 if you want to play P5R so badly (@KiwiLeSurvivant) reported

    @CharMayCry I thought Nintendo were supposed to fix them for free? Least that's what I was told when I bought my Switch.

  • AntoPointExe Antorchon (@AntoPointExe) reported

    @tobyfox I encounter the chapter 2 recruit menu crash and I was with a Nintendo switch pro controller on my windows computer

  • Deemosphere (@Deemosphere) reported

    nintendo should make some sort of music streaming service for the switch that comes in NSO take the music from every major nintendo release and put it on there n bam

  • d3_books d3_books (@d3_books) reported

    Yeah no problem Nintendo, it was '8….

  • SimonStevens187 Simon Stevens (@SimonStevens187) reported

    @younghavok @DangerDontTouch I can't see Nintendo competing with gamepass, not even with their own games, Nintendo execs couldn't find their arse with both hands, useless, but Sony could make ps now or even ps+ a compelling service in that timeframe.

  • ulfatazimi3 ulfatazimi (@ulfatazimi3) reported

    @casulcr @TWTHEREDDRAGON @Optimus_Code Lmao what? Nintendo idk, but sony being indie friendly?? LMAO, hell no, they are exact opposite. A lot of indie devs have trouble putting their games on ps store, or get any marketing for their games. Look it up.

  • lunariaflower LunariaFlower (She/They) (@lunariaflower) reported

    Wish me luck that my first YouTube video with a copyright claim dispute goes well. I tried to post a Playthrough and it flagged a part of video that’s repeated throughout the video. Has anyone had an issue like this with Nintendo/Pokémon games? Any advice?

  • HatcherPoke Ad Astra Mods (PokeHatcher - Worldwide Shipping) (@HatcherPoke) reported

    The new Nintendo Switch Bluetooth Audio update broke a few of the PokeHatcher scripts... I have new versions ready that will be uploaded by tonight. Scripts affected: MasterballFarm, WattFarm, BerryFarm. The new scripts will resolve the issue of the extra menu items being added.

  • dissensia Dissensia (@dissensia) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Can't find anything anywhere about what's going on, but when do you plan to fix the Mario Maker 2 server(s)? At least some info about what is going on and why the server(s) is down would be nice.

  • diceb0mb Faygo CEO (@diceb0mb) reported

    @JaxMagnetic the N64 has the exact same problem as the Wii U where it's actually not *that* bad from a hardware level but Nintendo just had to do something that gave anyone outside of Nintendo the absolute worst time developing for it so they just didn't bother, but for different reasons

  • eristocrat Idris Gelbooru (@eristocrat) reported

    the 3DS port of Star Fox 64 is ******* awesome and the fact that it's trapped on that system is a travesty. It begs to be on Switch. @nintendo please fix asap

  • P0VKoWlhT260o8K はくいのせんし!@低浮上 (@P0VKoWlhT260o8K) reported

    @HaleyNebula Good morning, dear Haley! That accident happened suddenly, but my switch which repaired by Nintendo service center will be returned soon.

  • BustyTsunLulu Joseph the シナボンプリン🍮🇺🇸 (@BustyTsunLulu) reported

    @knucklesthehot @divangreedy88 @nrm824 Aysper is exclusive to Xbox and Nintendo for their titles of Star Wars games that was originally on Playstation so I have no clue to what's going on over all but I don't have problem with it, as they say it is what it is.
