Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Jason Prime (@BIazingWaters) reportedwhat I'm saying is that some ******* never learned from the "Capcom should give the IP to Nintendo, they would respect it more!" discourse from several years ago unlike me who became smart and realized that wouldn't magically fix things
-
Proni Alves 🇧🇷 (@ProniAlves) reported@AleksNorbergDev A very famous Brazilian youtuber marked the nintendo saying that you're going to be sued, but we don't let that go, we'll support you. His name is @BRKsEDU a very snobby guy. (If the text have a error, sorry for my english) xoxo.
-
FINALITY (@Final8oss) reported@Viceroy_12 @NeoGameSpark This was the Nintendo problem, until the switch. 3rd party publishers avoided Nintendo consoles because they didn’t sell and their had weak hardware. It’s a vicious cycle
-
I put the Ho in gaming #ToBeFair (@BillyHoWCR) reported@ryan__lugo @TmarTn Availability really wasn't the issue for either system as to why their sales numbers are where they are. PS4 wasn't really competing with Nintendo either. Japan simply doesn't have the draw it once had in terms of user base for anyone outside of Nintendo now.
-
Michael Smith (@MichaelNotjacks) reported@klobrille @Therzmoss Ea access is $10 on its own. Remember tjat these games will be 12 month old games. You put the base game on this service and make bank selling all the dlcs and cosmetics. This is happening my friend ans I hope my Nintendo had the same service. Freaking gouging us
-
Zach Hansen (@ZachHan33039748) reported@LotsofLams @monsterhunter I'm sure Capcom would implement cross save or save file transfers if there wasn't an issue with their publisher you could transfer your generations save to your GU save, the difference between that and the Rise situation is that it was from Nintendo console to Nintendo console
-
Bri 👅 (@TinySodaCans) reported@kobcritic_ I remember that being used in “Something Smells” but I also remember it being used in a Nintendo customer service video of all things.
-
Catherine (@NewBeamu) reportedThe Switch has sold amazingly well so in fitting with the Wii, I look forward to Nintendo releasing a final model of it months after they release the actual successor to the Switch, which is a normal switch but smaller, more easily broken and that has no internet access
-
selma (@chelasts) reporteda nintendo switch would solve all of the problems i'm dealing with
-
Starloper (@starloper) reported@sincespacies I just learnt this the other day, all this time I thought sega was a Japanese word when it's just short for service games which introduced a submarine game in the 60s way before nintendo.
-
Sauce (@GaudSauce) reported@FortniteStatus fix for the drifting white screen on Nintendo switch?
-
Eric W's Revenge (@w_revenge) reported@TheKrustyKoopa I just wish I could silence the SEGA fans that always go "Nintendo bad SEGA better because Nintendo anti consumer" SEGA fans, if that's how you're trying to persuade me to be a SEGA fan, it's not working. In fact, it makes me despise SEGA even more.
-
Harley Bashaw 💛❤️ (@writersflood) reported@LuminaryVohris @LilyEbbsYT Again, I sometimes have trouble explaining exactly what I mean. Here it is. I personally only want to play Nintendo on Nintendo. I’m not against the option of it being on other platforms being a thing. I just hope Nintendo remains unique still.
-
Brandon Brunner (@BrandonBrunner7) reported@ohboyitsmilk Ok so buy a pc hook up your Nintendo switch and your broken switch to it and somehow you can play both
-
indienova (@indienovacn) reported@PiccoloTheSuper @NintendoAmerica A patch to fix it is ready now, please check it. Sorry for the issue.
-
Vohris (@LuminaryVohris) reported@FfKing1140 Nintendo Online being a memey ****** cash grab is Nintendo’s problem
-
DATAMOSH3K (@DataMosh3K) reportedWhile troubleshooting the issue, I checked the JoyCons’ behavior when disconnected. They appeared to function properly. Upon plugging the JoyCons back in, I was finally able to get the Switch to boot again. @NintendoAmerica
-
Agustin Arroyo (@flowalistik) reported@NHengist @Etsy After years of wasting energy reporting people selling my designs (low-poly Pokemon models) on Etsy I realized the best way was to reach out to the sellers. As soon as they realize they'll be in legal trouble with me AND NINTENDO, they usually take them down.
-
Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reportedIt's been 170 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service
-
Ratchet 🏳️🌈 (@Ratchet_fox) reported@SharkaBytes Lmfao one of the most popular and well known games released back on spectrum was literally uncompletable as released, and it was far from the only one .. I mean sure Nintendo etc generally had higher standards, but still awful or broken games released on those platforms
-
🎀Sylveon the Full Cream Alcremist🍓 (@SylveonAlcremie) reported@frankeyhoktv Nintendo knows they can make more money off broken Joycons when people buy more Joycons to replace them
-
Caro (@MissCaracolina) reported@SamsClub_Sam I also have lag but I play on nintendo switch, could it be an issue with consoles maybe?
-
nessa (@hiyyihaven) reportedNintendo has the worst customer service:)))
-
Andrea Pichinini (@AndreaPichinini) reported@Webhead_91 @b1lly7h3k1dd Sony with PS1: Stole away Final Fantasy. Bought several exclusives of games that were multiplatform or existed previously on Nintendo. PS lacks creativity. Most of the iconic PS1 games are now multiplat: Spyro, Crash, Metal Gear, etc
-
devilmaycry1 (@PiccoloTheSuper) reported@indienovacn Heaven dust 2 i pre ordered on switch e shop and once i get passed the opening cutscene the game crashes "an error accrued" Ive re installed it and deleted save data but its the same issue. On the usa nintendo switch eshop version its broken, please release an update patch.
-
I’m Art, as in “work of” (@TashaTalks_Alot) reported@Tahoe_TV Yea Most of the time. Like for Nintendo switch or the oculus because usually if they can’t fix it they’ll replace it with a new one which is much cheaper then buying some thing all over again new
-
itselguapo (@itselguapo) reported@RickJamesTTV @JustAnLED Dude we were ******* raised on console wars stuff. Sega shitting on Nintendo, Jaguar shitting on every console, crash talking **** about mario, Street fighter 2 talking **** about mortal kombat. Ty the tazmanian tiger shitting on EVERYONE! We were just raised to embrace fanboyism
-
Slanessa (@SlanessaSploon) reported@MajoraVtb Nintendo can’t even get a good online service so I doubt they even know what NFT’s are ngl
-
🎀Sylveon the Full Cream Alcremist🍓 (@SylveonAlcremie) reported@Adam__Pitts It sounds to me that Nintendo will never fix drift but from now on I'll use the Pro Controller mostly when I'm on TV mode
-
Chris Austin (@ChrisJAustin_) reported@krewBingham my 7year old son Kendrick got the Pokémon Nintendo switch lite for Christmas. He’s stuck in bed with a broken femur in 2 places. He plays fortnite a lot and just got into apex legends but would love some game recommendations!
