Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PokemonEns PokemonENS (@PokemonEns) reported

    @emoneyeth Now if they were saying. This is an official pokemon registered domain and pretended to be Nintendo. Then obviously there will be a problem. But that's not even close to what's going on here with domains.

  • Sephiyroth Sephiroth NeverMemorizedAgain (@Sephiyroth) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Dead service will never live up to club nintendo

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • melbell_x MelBell 💖🌸 (@melbell_x) reported

    @OgLakyn I think most would say switch, but you can usually find the same games (as long as not Nintendo) on another console/PC for cheaper, but I personally love my switch for portability as I’m on it basically all the time when not working

  • Stormkiko Stormkiko (@Stormkiko) reported

    @gotumms146 @Mystsprit @NintendoAmerica iirc D/P and Arceus were written in different languages than Sword and Shield which made compatibility issues take a while. Now that they have that sorted, Violet and Scarlet should be their standard 3mo delay after release.

  • WispyParadox WispyParadox (Commissions on hold) (@WispyParadox) reported

    @SpiritArzo That being said, only issue I have with that plush is the eyes are too scrunched together XD Otherwise it’s bby tho I may wait and see it Nintendo makes him into a plush sometime down the line

  • pariah747 NylonicPariah (@pariah747) reported

    @Turkenschmidt @NintendoAmerica Here’s a good a idea, actual get people together to file mass complaints on their website to encourage Nintendo to do better for the next waves and fix any issues.

  • sfc_moogle ChronoMoogle (@sfc_moogle) reported

    @MartinRefseth Super cool! Nintendo apparently had chip sourcing problems that delayed the launch of these, seems like they ended up using slightly different chips.

  • Mattakewls Matthew Patrick (@Mattakewls) reported

    @LSWGame @TTGames Is that patch for Nintendo Switch? Also can you guys fix the Razor Crest? It was built wrong.

  • secundoexperime KNIFE *****. (@secundoexperime) reported

    @HitmanOfTime > and he had a thirst that needed to be quenched pronto. After pouring himself a glass, the knife man grabbed two eggs, cracked them into his mouth and discarded the broken shells ; emerging back out from the kitchen seconds later. Next thing on his mind was his Nintendo >

  • harrymkchi_ Harry (@harrymkchi_) reported

    just told my mom about this problem, tomorrow is when I'll call the Nintendo support services to see if they can help me if it doesn't work then ig I won't be able to play for a few months until I get a new switch console

  • Hijikata_7 Hijikata-7 (@Hijikata_7) reported

    @So_Ethereal every console/handheld have their own problem/fault, switch is extremely successfull despite nintendo attitude towards consumer, this sucess lead many developer aim to put their game there despite the switch apparent lack of power. just make a real console already pls.

  • MansMcg MVP (minimum value prick) (@MansMcg) reported

    @coolioAMM @marietably It isn't even an issue with people not liking how it looks, because that's a perfectly valid opinion to have But saying that it's "lazy" on their part and that people let Nintendo get away with too much is equally thick headed as saying $60 re-releases are perfectly okay

  • jacobkyle333 Jacobkyle333 (@jacobkyle333) reported

    @Kratos_playz @Xbox @NBA2K So does playstation and nintendo... everything got delayed like it did previously because of covid and the push further dates are due to developer problems. And series x isn't useless if you're not trying to get gamepass or pc

  • BrandonMan113 Brandon Walters (@BrandonMan113) reported

    @TTGames @LSWGame Character selection where if you took too long, then it crashes the game, fix that one please. I own the Nintendo Switch

  • YouthfulLegend Dillon Lechman (@YouthfulLegend) reported

    @NintendoAmerica please do something about random special bowling happening online. I'm not the only one with a problem with this.

  • XeridalG4 Dazzerrens (@XeridalG4) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Yo, fix this ******* 10015 error.

  • thatblondelad Callam, champion of the Sinnoh region (@thatblondelad) reported

    @NintendoUK Cool! I'm now getting error 10015 because I got a hacked Pokémon via YOUR wonder trade system! Love that my nearly 2000 strong, 20 year old collection is now locked in an app that I'm literally paying you money to use!

  • lucifronz Lucifronz (@lucifronz) reported

    @Jadenfire @NintendoAmerica Pay for... what? You have to pay for Bank and Home if you want to transfer from 3DS and earlier eras to Switch, but besides that, Home's sub isn't really necessary. It would never have been a problem for anyone, really, had they not limited what Pokemon could be in the games.

  • Gadgetoid Phil Howard (@Gadgetoid) reported

    Okay apparently the PC port is horribly broken, just grab it on Nintendo DS!

  • janxp__ Carlos (@janxp__) reported

    @AtarashiColyn @NintendoAmerica You are the problem then why complain if you continue to buy? You just want attention cause you a bum with no life.

  • mizzio985 the_maurix (@mizzio985) reported

    @SquareEnix @LifeIsStrange The Nintendo Switch version has 'no connection to the network' bug, I'm reporting this issue and no one cares about it. I spent 60 euros for this game and can't even play the Steph story

  • Rated_Jay7 Synical_Gaming (@Rated_Jay7) reported

    @BenjiSales It was due to stock issues tho so I can't look at this as a win. I would like to see Xbox and PS go head to head but Xbox wont take that market away from Sony and Nintendo any time soon. Once stock normalizes it will be back to how sales normally are.

  • videobun funny bunny (@videobun) reported

    my main issue with most platform fighters trying to do smash-ish stuff is they don't juice up the visuals enough. I guess that's what nintendo money and 5 games in a series will get you with ultimate but I dunno

  • srxjaden srx (@srxjaden) reported

    @NintendoAmerica can you fix my switch and joy-cons?

  • sslee8778960 UltraSatoshi (@sslee8778960) reported

    @UltraZero45 @NintendoAmerica Same and they need to fix the bad eggs bug either they delete those bad egg pokemon or not i don't care just make it usable.

  • IceeNotIcee Anise! 🌟 (@IceeNotIcee) reported

    I should fix my Nintendo Switch honestly, I think it's about to die now The problem is that I'm a big dummy and I don't know how to fix things and there's no repair shops in my area (:

  • blackcatprose Professor Kyle (@blackcatprose) reported

    Laying on the couch, nursing a sore back, Grigio cuddled between my legs. It's cold, gray, and rainy out. Back in the day, this would be the perfect day to do nothing but play Nintendo... But since I don't have one, I'll watch Big Trouble in Little China instead.

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

    @PownicMania5000 Mhm, & yeah Nintendo rarely listens- but I also think Nintendo fans need a better way of making there voices heard All Nintendo fans do is complain, unlike Sega fans who try to fix it themselves with fangames, mods, or national events- Nintendo fans just cause uneeded drama

  • GaymerCraig Big Gay Energy (@GaymerCraig) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon Give us the official word. What's going on with Pokemon Home Error 10015? It's all over the internet without any sort of announcement from y'all.
