Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
ShadowHalcyon (@Shadow_Halcyon) reported@Moskaato @Stealth40k @GyoJvfr Yes, and every time it happens, it’s a problem. “Nintendo isn’t the first time that’s happened so don’t blame Nintendo” no, I will blame them for doing it because they know they can. If you do, in fact, do something, then you did, in fact, do the thing. Literally basic logic.

Poseidon (@Poseidonssb1) reported@Mikemetroid Fix your game nintendo why am I losing my 5 star lead to RNG 😤
-
Melee K (@meleekarisma) reported@PunchoLuncho And even then it fails. There’s a large part of the library that didn’t get QOL updates. We tested a few and they all perform worse. Nintendo had to intentionally fix for them to run better than the previous system. It’s really bad.
-
🌙 (@zero_xof) reported@AngryJoeShow Or, don't support it at all. Game pass being "cheaper" is by design. Nintendo created the problem, MS replicates the problem and is selling the solution.
-
Moove Over (@ZoieNolan1) reported@NextGenPlayer There was a world parts shortage in 2020 thanks to the COVID pandemic. Because of this, both Sony and Xbox struggled to produce enough units to meet demand. That is no longer an issue in 2025, Nintendo has access to it's parts. So I feel like this is an unfair comparison.
-
Trey_Dizzle (@Trey_Dizzle45) reported@KirPinkFury I've had 0 problems plus Nintendo will fix or replace for free
-
whitemonkey1 (@babywhitemonkey) reportedNintendo Switch ² brand new already encountered battery swelling issues..
-
Sorth Gaming (@SorthG) reported@Silberkatze87X @GenePark It bares the branding. This is the problem. Xbox button alone is cause for problems. I want to see this happen, I really do. But as long as they keep the branding. It's an issue. Sony is fickle. Like Nintendo.
-
Bronze Beard (@RealBronzeBeard) reportedIt is, you’re giving me an argument with no way to prove it. You just saying it doesn’t mean it’s true. I can’t find a single example that proves Sony and Xbox don’t do the same thing. Also I would argue even if it was a problem with only Nintendo, which it’s not, they just filled over 3 million console preorders on day 1. The most video game consoles sold on day 1 of all time. Thats the opposite of scarcity. Also they sold twice as many console as the ps5. Opposite of scarcity. I’m talking about consoles only right now.

Cmdr...Lewdog (@lewdog29478782) reported@NoContextCrap Finally someone said it............. **** is getting ridiculous And the worst part the nintendo fans will excuse all the issues......
-
Head-ZonkStudios (@HeadZonkStudios) reported@Grummz I'm more concerned with Nintendo's decaying business practices. The empty cartridges, the increasing service fees, and mistreatment of talent is what's turning me off.
-
Stephen (@lostfrog1357) reported@SteelSupport My Arctis Nova 7P doesn't show up as a sound output device on my Nintendo Switch 2. The system sees the headset as a USB microphone, though. I can't find anything about this issue. Are there plans to resolve it with a firmware update?
-
2Bpie (@taskarimasta_) reported@AG_Gobstopper You're right. I don't have a principle, a rule I apply to every company. And I have absolutely broken this standard with other companies, probably without even knowing. This is specifically against Nintendo, and I should probably apologize for making it wider than that.
-
whitemonkey1 (@babywhitemonkey) reportedincredibly pathetic QC of nintendo for having battery issues this early ...
-
KANNA-CHAN (@Kannakamuisama) reported@FortniteStatus i play on xbox series s and he play's on nintendo switch, he said he had the same problem, when we press the app icon the game takes 3 times longuer to connect then before
-
ConnorOhOne (@ConnorOhOne) reported@Alfredo_Toons @makio_jroses I understand the difference, GameFreak codes while Nintendo publishes, not even accounting for Creatures Inc’s third of the ownership. The problem is that on average there’s a new set of pokemon mainline games every 3 years, not accounting everything else like sidegames & (1/2)
-
Alfredo Toons (@Alfredo_Toons) reported@ConnorOhOne @makio_jroses I don't understand how or why Nintendo would impose a deadline, especially considering they are known for delaying their own games if they don't meet their standards. If you can't understand the difference between The Pokémon Company and Nintendo then you are part of the problem.
-
Craig"CAPTURED on PS5 "Harris (@CraigHarris456) reported@nortonsflyer @DoWhatYouDo6 Yes, b/c it doesn't. Nintendo and Sony don't have the same issue that MS had, however Sony has the Business meeting in a few days, so have to wait and see what they are going to do.
-
FlaksOut (@FlaksOut) reported@ActualAero You are assuming GF is the issue here… Nintendo is the one not letting them finish the game to match the release schedule so they can sell merch
-
Epicness (@ABitofEpicness) reportedOkay, im genuinely getting pissed off @NintendoAmerica Pikmin 3 Deluxe is broken on your system. Its not even just crashes its literal visual bugs that are borderline seizure inducing Care to explain how a glorified Wii U game ran better on the Switch than its successor ?????
-
BloodyRipley 🎧⭕️ (@red047x) reported@L337L4K3 I just think Xbox clearly doesn’t care about exclusivity and is going to put their games everywhere. Gears going to ps made that even more clear to me. Problem is I don’t see Nintendo or ps doing that to Xbox lol
-
riley🌴 (@reee_cap) reported@SomeKirbyFan and it will launch with thousands more games than the switch 2 with 0 fee to pay for ****** online service. 50 dollars a year for limited emulation vs emulating every nintendo game ever minus the one 90$ mario kart game lol
-
Vanity (@Vanityshii) reported@jonathancigaret @iiWhiskey @Nick_Marseil well playstation isn’t trying to be a streaming service. They still want to sell consoles and console exclusives is how they do that, same as nintendo
-
専 (@Sen_Works) reported@ALegendaryDrops Blame Nintendo for starting it. It's how corporations work. Gamepass is a way to add value to customers. I don't like $80 and no game should be $80. But blaming MS for making their already great service look even better because Nintendo decided to pull the trigger is stupid.
-
Kuchi @ Neo RGamePH 🎮🏇🎤 (@KuchiSeiyuGamer) reportedThe free to play Power Pro baseball game for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch by Konami is closing down its service
-
jazc007 (@jazc_007) reported@J_ROOST @NintendoAmerica Mentioning that the game is $80 isn't dumb but a fact; the game is priced at $80 so Nintendo makes YOU think that buying the bundle will save you money. You guys assuming that we HAVE TO willingly pay more money for less content is the really dumb thing here and the root problem
-
TempestWolfVT (@tempestwolfvt) reportedIf you take a moment to watch the video, they explain the issues with the Switch 2. I said I wouldn't recommend based on an informed decision from professionals that analyzed the device for repairability and showing underlying issues such as the drifting issue which Nintendo is aware of themselves. That's all.
-
Ezequiel (@AburridoMort) reported@MyNutsAreHuuge @nahuacapital @Nick_Marseil The same thing happened to me, but I only pay for one service. Game Pass, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC are the way to go.
-
Tuggernut (@Tuggernut4) reported@GTBreezy_ @Imladris1893 @PostUp_SOG Okay so what you're saying is it's Xbox doing this to get everyone over to gamepass to then raise the price?? Is that why Nintendo is doing $80 games as well?? The reaching to hate on gamepass is getting old. It's a good service.
-
MegamanNG (@MegamanRA) reported@antdude92 I'm not surprised. Nintendo has a major shovelware problem. They allow this game to be on the eShop and yet games like Neptunia Re;birth, Menhera Farm and others are denied. Know what I call this? Hypocrisy.
