Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • My_Echo4 Echo ⚡️💙 (@My_Echo4) reported

    It's embarrassing to see that Disney has a better wait line for their online shop than Nintendo. Fix your ****, Nin.

  • ba_rive Bren (@ba_rive) reported

    @wildsage00 But is it really an issue only in the English translation? I’ve played in Spanish and the same thing happens. Idk about the other languages but it could be that Nintendo requested it that way

  • AnhurdynPlus Anhurdyn (@AnhurdynPlus) reported

    @xaviervidguy19 @AvianGenesis The main issue with that is I feel like Nintendo wouldn't let them market something in the switch version by using the PS4 version, stating it as such since that'd probably just get more people to buy the PS4 version to figure out the "secret door"

  • lucioruler25 lucio (@lucioruler25) reported

    @KiwiOnTheSticks Honestly Nintendo switch sports it’s cute when you’re bored but my dock is broken loll so that was a sign within itself and my wrist starts hurting after 30 minutes the clothes were really my only drive to play tbh

  • KryZenGraphics Zen (Commisons Open!) (@KryZenGraphics) reported

    @3v3nMoR @swshriv @NintendoAmerica Honestly ill take a playable game lacking some content over rushed patches to fix broken mess of games that also lacks content

  • TaauuuHuuaayyyy SwizzleMahTwizzel🚑🦆🦢 (@TaauuuHuuaayyyy) reported

    @DG_777player @AmiiboAcid @NintendoAmerica If the problem has nothing to do with xenoblade, then why you Mario fans wanna rain on xenoblade's parade on xenoblade news and posts?

  • EnvoyOTE Envoy of Gains (@EnvoyOTE) reported

    @baeconic I'm having the exact same problem lately. I mostly play retro Nintendo and SoulsBorne games but I'm a HUGE Pokemon Stan. I'll stop by your stream sometime to introduce myself because making friends is hard.

  • TimBolek Tim Bolek (@TimBolek) reported

    @ZeldaDungeon Legend of Zelda for NES. No walkthrough, no internet help. didn’t use the tip hotline. Then, one magical day, a map came in my Nintendo power and I beat it. Imagine trying to find dungeons, get through the lost woods, and beat bosses with nothing but trial and error…

  • Drenttzaggett20 DrennttGG (@Drenttzaggett20) reported

    @LillyLiliaceae The problem is the hardcore audience doesn’t know when to quit it with antagonizing casuals. Because of this, casuals will double down without a healthy complex debate. Nobody wins besides Nintendo.

  • _WolfieVII Glyn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🖤 (@_WolfieVII) reported

    @Nanami_Moon01 I'm sure it'll work out one way or another! I know Nintendo pre-orders have been a bit iffy for me, but I blame that more of my local post service being a bit crap lmao!

  • CJ62991207 CJ (@CJ62991207) reported

    @eliteunkown @Antnayyy @NintendoAmerica That's not my problem honey. Nintendo has every right to deliver unfinished games and continue dlc all they want for more content

  • DG_777player DG_777player (@DG_777player) reported

    @Eien1239 @NintendoAmerica So now stating that I'd like them to reveal stuff in a different way makes me have a mental issue, this is honestly an expected response somehow.

  • BukowskiBroken BrokenBukowski (@BukowskiBroken) reported

    @NintendoFunnie Showing one door which is known to be the only texture so egregious is about as disingenuous as the post you’re mocking. I think it’s entirely fair to point out that Nintendo continues to lag in terms of hardware and they don’t care to upgrade.

  • GunSKiLLL GunSkiLLL 🥋 (@GunSKiLLL) reported

    @MLBTheShow I’m trying g to login to the companion app and every time I hit the play station version it doesn’t login and says “there’s an issue connection to the servers, for Nintendo switch users please link to the show account before trying to using your switch account here”

  • MegaSpeedRed Mega Speed Red (@MegaSpeedRed) reported

    @JoseBer56296540 @BL0CKMAN10 @OatmealDome It's not only a BL issue, Nintendo has been handling free content really bad for a while now.

  • Dulcys_Aerie Dulcea (@Dulcys_Aerie) reported

    Not only did @NintendoAmerica have store issues for #XenobladeChronicles3 Special Edition preorders, but now I'm being told that we won't have the game release day either. Retailers already have their copies, why couldn't Nintendo have started the shipping process already?!

  • Dr_Scaphandre 🇺🇦Spaceboi Scaphandre🔞18 Days till #SpidermanPC (@Dr_Scaphandre) reported

    @PressStartKofi Maybe? I mean I stopped playing Nintendo Switch because of the 30FPS limit on the majority of games. If they pushed more towards 40/45, it wouldn’t be as much of an issue. 30FPS in general is just dated

  • DieJGuz DJG (@DieJGuz) reported

    @anime_brother @GreatCheshire Blaming everything but themselves is an issue done by many goverments, not just USA. AMLO in México was blaming Nintendo last year for corrupting the youth.

  • Trogistreed420 Trogdor The Elden Lord (@Trogistreed420) reported

    @Brandino1103 @BERSERKER_THiiS It’s not about who owns it I’m just simply saying I don’t see it possible for him to be on both because Nintendo is petty. I bring up crash because they are often confused and with it being a newly owned IP it would be more likely Xbox would want to give it attention first.

  • ItzVCiPz V-CiPz™ (@ItzVCiPz) reported

    @vishgod69 It's a Nintendo problem more than it is Amazon, Nintendo didn't make enough copies to meet demmand.

  • DedangoDoes Born Frustrated (@DedangoDoes) reported

    Ohhh, so that's what the Nintendo switch right joycon problem is...

  • KawaiiStuff8 Ruby!🌈 LOVE LIVE SUPERSTAR SEASON 2 HYPE!!⭐⭐⭐ (@KawaiiStuff8) reported

    @LjinkKidd @splendidland Just an exception. It still no excuse that nealy all old Nintendo games have no updated graphics while the other companies have no problem to do that......again all Ps1 Ps2 games on switch gave updated graphics!

  • Eien1239 Rickpat1239 (@Eien1239) reported

    @DG_777player @NintendoAmerica You have a mental issue...

  • Vashv17 #TallEnough (@Vashv17) reported

    I couldn't ever get into smash brothers, but this Multiversus is just hitting. Maybe the gameplay wasn't the issue. Maybe I didn't care about nintendo characters...and now that I say that. It makes a lot of sense.

  • Koro_Kirin Kirin (@Koro_Kirin) reported

    For some unknown reasons my nintendo switch screen just decided to glitch out. And it stays broken like that now. That's exciting...

  • BigBongoShyGuy Big Bongo Knight (@BigBongoShyGuy) reported

    @AlbarnsDemon @PownicMania5000 the problem with nintendo is that you need pretty much every nintendo fan to do something if you want nintendo to even say anything

  • LillyLiliaceae ||🌸🍭||~Lilly’s Dream Buffet~||🍰🛍|| (@LillyLiliaceae) reported

    Even then that might not work, whenever a Nintendo game failed they always took the wrong lessons from it (Ultra Smash, Star Fox Zero, Arms, Smm2) Heck, even with console failures. Nintendo has yet to learn anything from the Wii U era, if anything issues have gotten worse

  • DG_777player DG_777player (@DG_777player) reported

    @AmiiboAcid @NintendoAmerica It's even more annoying that no news have come out for 4 months now and the problem has nothing to do with Xenoblade

  • BayesicMK8 Bayesic (@BayesicMK8) reported

    @Watte_Tv @MartinM_1991 @NintendoAmerica MK8D also released in 2017. And The issue isn’t the four months, the issue is the lack of transparency

  • SeerofMonado Shulk『シュルク』 (@SeerofMonado) reported

    @GalaxiaSword |·|I feel like it's only the multiplayer Nintendo games that have this issue. Splatoon being the only exception.
