Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • WaffulSyrup 🧇ᗯᗩᖴᖴ|Commissions (Open for April Booking)🧇 (@WaffulSyrup) reported

    @Elyonson_ Agreed But knowing gaming sites they most likely won't. I do have my issues with Nintendo as I am very critical of them but ever since I followed the switch homebrew scene I always knew Xecuter was malicious. Nintendo had to do something.

  • TToyCollector Kidicorn Toy Tales (@TToyCollector) reported

    @NintendoUK please can you explain why I am now on my third pair of joy cons for the switch and they won't hold a charge? Why do they break so easily and how can I get this issue resolved, I'm fed up of wasting money on joy cons!

  • PMurphy1978 Paul Murphy (@PMurphy1978) reported

    @bobbyjackdotme So it seems. It's set when you create the game, so existing progress and saves can't be changed. Please fix this @NintendoUK. I've made it to the last boss but he owns me.

  • ZealousFoX ZealousFoX (@ZealousFoX) reported

    @keithjohnstack @Wingzzzzy The only problem with this art while mainly accurate, is it was the feds that Nintendo worked with. AKA, the governments authoritative arm that monitors and processes the every day citizen on a scale the police could never do. The feds aren't cops, they are the FBI/CIA, etc.

  • real_mikeymoo MikeyMoo (@real_mikeymoo) reported

    @zeldavxa @TUS_Niar @ModernVintageG This isn't as simple as repairs, Nintendo can't go after anyone for repairs. The issue is that this group was profiting off of hacking devices and selling said bootlegging games.

  • squishio_ squish (@squishio_) reported

    @fowskate so basically if the pins are broken you need to solder a replacement reader port on the motherboard, I would honestly just send it to Nintendo because if they break a pin I’m sure they’ll fix it

  • tonyhannon1980 Tony Hannon (@tonyhannon1980) reported

    @NintendoUK Hi guys I’ve been trying to get some support regarding a log in/profile issue for 5 weeks without joy Can someone contact me please, very frustrating Thanks in advance

  • stickndstone potatoplebby (@stickndstone) reported

    @NintendoEurope for the love of ******* god, make a new nintendo switch console that improves the joycon connectivity and dumb **** like that so i don’t keep dying in games when they disconnect at the most **** moment. I hate this co sole and your **** greedy practices

  • C0mmunistCatboy Nyan-binary Comrade ☭ (@C0mmunistCatboy) reported

    @Dragonogon The real problem comes when Nintendo tries to use this case to sway and gain leverage in other cases where they aren't in the right. If they can get this ****** person it might lead to them going after moral hackers and people who develop homebrew.

  • baka_puta Baka Puta (@baka_puta) reported

    @RomeGoLARGE I would still be playing on Nintendo and Xbox... Was something great supposed to be missed if Playstation dissapeared? Lol No, the only games that made me buy PS consoles were games that eventually have become 3rd party (Kingdom hearts, Metal Gear, Crash, etc)

  • ziggy_watson Simon Priest (@ziggy_watson) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp My Nintendo Wii won't find the signal from my Hub 3 box. Therefore I cannot wirelessly connect. After googling it this issue seems connect between Wii and Virgin Media. Any idea on how to fix this?

  • 3FishAtFNC Fish N' Company (@3FishAtFNC) reported

    The issue isn't even over Martha is Dead, its why ******** Sony even censors games in the first place, what are they afraid of? Nintendo of all companies has Gal*Gun 2 on their store front. Stop being afraid Sony if Nintendo isn't.

  • TheGreenViper8 Viper (@TheGreenViper8) reported

    @CircuitBird To my knowledge, Nintendo do indeed have a bug bounty program that pays you for reporting security flaws. The problem is that this guy actively stole the work of people who did that, commercialised it and advertised it as a device for piracy. That's pretty far over the line lol

  • DillonWright4 Dillon Wright (@DillonWright4) reported

    @NinEverything At this point, Nintendo has 2 options, remake the game (like they remade Link's Awakening), or bring the Gameboy Advanced to the Online Service and add the game that way.

  • anscilo Nicolas Baur (@anscilo) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Tell @RockstarGames to fix the game framerate at least and stop taking your customers for cash cows. This game is truly unplayable.

  • _Pittwo_ alex (@_Pittwo_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @RockstarGames Is this trilogy still broken? I might buy it in the future.

  • TheNproject Hao Ng141 (@TheNproject) reported

    @ForeverEntert @GreenHellGame @creepy_jar Can please Fix the Stuck Loading Screen Issue on Nintendo switch ? is Seriously MAJOR go google type everyone is facing the issue

  • ACuriousCatt ACuriousCatt (@ACuriousCatt) reported

    anyone else had issue with Lief's weeding sevice in #ACNH because I was able to pay for the service but my weeds have vanished into thin air and not into my recycle box. where are my weeds @NintendoAmerica 😭😭

  • Daxank_live Daxank ➐ (@Daxank_live) reported

    So the MK8D DLC is included in the Online Expansion pack right? Man, if I don't have the AC DLC and this, that's a great deal! Yeah, it is a great deal... but it's Nintendo we're talking about, the expansion pack is a DLC renting service. So if you don't renew, you lose your DLC

  • aphickey263 Andrew (@aphickey263) reported

    @slubber_nl @PlatinumPequod @FalKoopa_ Nah it happened to people who bought it and was an issue during the 3ds days theres a reason people hate him but are more blinded by pure Nintendo hate

  • YukiMX4 Yuki 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⛄ (@YukiMX4) reported

    @WaffulSyrup So if he's a despicable person, then **** him, yes. But there's a reason why they say justice is blind. Three problem is not whether Bowser was a good guy, NOBODY should be persecuted for cracking a console. Don't forget Nintendo keep sending yt takedowns to music videos 🤬

  • ShaunAn75382976 Shaun Anderson (@ShaunAn75382976) reported

    @NintendoUK why is it that you cannot contact anyone from Nintendo to try to book in a repair for a console. Also when trying to book a repair it is constantly saying that their is an issue and to try again later. Shockingly bad service.

  • rredmerA rd (@rredmerA) reported

    @imtrynapipefr if the nintendo drum gets the job done as a different experience with not much issue, ill just get that. im not in love with the gamemode its just for trying something different and changing the pace

  • BigLincolnLog Lil'LincolnLog (@BigLincolnLog) reported

    @star_neighbor @keithjohnstack @MrGuyTweets The issue here is how ******* grotesque their punishment is for a nonviolent crime, it comes off as petty coming from Nintendo considering how insanely profitable they are.

  • Six1Eye Six1Eye (@Six1Eye) reported

    @raybpanda @Jerrica581 But I have a Xbox, so I'll be enjoying thos game whn Xbox finally drops games I dnt dislike Xbox is just I buy this console to play there unique games each platform offers for now Xbox lacks in that part while with PS and Nintendo I dnt have that problem.

  • echoesn64 Echoes (@echoesn64) reported

    @XxArtist I guess people really think Nintendo is trying to avoid fire on this one. Which maybe I can understand thinking that way; but it’s definitely not being held back solely because of that, even if it is an issue.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 206 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • nfrt_official Masataka Goto (@nfrt_official) reported

    I cleaned a junk Nintendo Switch Lite with alcohol. When the display and joystick arrive, I'll try putting it together, and if that doesn't fix it, I'll replace the BQ24193 chip.

  • LillyLiliaceae ||🌸🍭||~Lilly Liliaceae™~||🍰🛍|| (@LillyLiliaceae) reported

    @stormatom33 Well we both know Nintendo has a port problem, I don’t think they care if the port actually makes sense. Which explain why a lot of Wii U ports feel out of place Although I admit it’s kinda weird, the port did a lot for Miis and there customization, why drop that so soon?
