Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • IshigamiCrisis IshigamiCrisis CP: Genshin Impact (@IshigamiCrisis) reported

    @MatthewRubenst3 yeah I'm honestly glad it's a simple movie that's family friendly cause it means Nintendo will actually let movie studios use their IPs. Just wish it was 10 mins longer to fix the intro a bit better is all

  • guts14955532 guts (@guts14955532) reported

    @doubleDD343 @GamingCole234 @Arathos_FK SONY literally kicked nintendo and sega's *** bc of games like FF7, metal gear, crash bandicoot, which were 3rd part exclusive at the time

  • yokudraws Yoku (@yokudraws) reported

    @oastlv I haven’t run into this issue yet.. I have a 2018 iPad Pro I use a lot of random chargers for it too, including the Nintendo switch cord 🫠

  • ammoisland amanda (@ammoisland) reported

    @TheBirdLiker the issue isnt the baby movie being a movie for babies its the 20-30 somethings on twitter throwing around words like peak and kino and hyping up nintendo directs that are just trailer releases for an ILLUMINATION MOVIE

  • jd7489 JD⁷⁴⁸⁹ (@jd7489) reported

    @MORKERMAN_ @chris_g0ld @UltimaShadowX pretty sure people generally consider the Xbox more powerful than the Gamecube, but yeah PS2 was considered weaker than either of them part of the issue was that Nintendo based their discs off miniDVD technology (1.46GB) while PS2 used full-on DVDs (4.7GB or 8.5GB dual layer)

  • aNcLgn Marco Fornaciari (@aNcLgn) reported

    @YoanMerlo The animations and cgi are incredible. It's probably worth watching if you are a fan of that stuff. The "story" and the rest of the movie is more than mediocre. Fan service everywhere and that's it. But if you are an old Nintendo lover, you will like it.

  • Checomal MACOATL (@Checomal) reported

    @SyGRubberDucky @Toarsian This CO-owned stuff is why barely ever get Kirby or Pokémon cameos in stuff like Mario Kart. Its license trouble, the IPs that Nintendo actually fully owns are the ones that you saw referenced in the Mario movie.

  • Avariscerator bjönk (@Avariscerator) reported

    nintendo may have gotten burned out on the weapon concept, and splatanas i get the vibe they maybe were havign a similar design issue initially since oh what if they dont distinguish themselves well from rollers but at somepoint they ended up rly making them click amazingly

  • Hikari__mc hikari (@Hikari__mc) reported

    @anthonymcrx @GRIMMYRAX @KTiereny Yes, Microsoft don’t care sell more consoles than PlayStation or Nintendo, they want a solid service that can be played anywhere, today xbox is the main medium

  • MentallyWorse Bunny (@MentallyWorse) reported

    @cloudycafe @itisellie_ That’s, not even close to a similar thing? Paying for DLC is something the game wants you to do, paying for third party things is against the Nintendo terms of service

  • SenderwalkTest Seándwalsh (@SenderwalkTest) reported

    @thelittlekluggo @Keyblade_Dragon I have issue with most of those changes. Yes, the movie is a completely separate continuity. I literally made a video about all of the differences. The distinction is that most of the changes you’ve mentioned aren’t referencing something which Nintendo had no involvement with.

  • Magical_Worker Michael Clark JR (@Magical_Worker) reported

    @LuigiBooty @nintendolife A movie can be fun for both adults and kids. And Nintendo is known to be a family company, which adults and kids are part of. My specific problem with the story isn’t necessarily the story itself, but rather the pacing. They tried to put too much into a 1 and a half hour movie.

  • Refflion2 Reflion (@Refflion2) reported

    @DootSalad @NextGenPlayer Thats untrue they left Nintendo due to issues with how the games were on a cartridge.

  • ApothLuvsAnimee 𝒯𝒮empai™ | 🇧🇧🌐💙🔊💎 (@ApothLuvsAnimee) reported

    @DarkDarrienn I'll spit on your dead ones ***** move along. Just because your uncles an abusive ***** who beats you over the head with a broken nintendo 64 controller doesnt mean I gotta catch strays

  • somari8591 Somari 💙 (@somari8591) reported

    The fact of the matter is that Sega's reliance on the Nintendo market has harmed them multiple times: splitting the 06 team in half for a Wii game, selling out for an exclusivity deal on a underperforming console, and now the pop in issues of Frontiers.

  • KalvinFoxx KalvinFoxx (@KalvinFoxx) reported

    Mario movie spoilers: . . . . . . . I liked the Mario movie. Had some issues with the pacing (especially near the end), Peach's character being kinda weak, the humor being hit or miss and the usage of overused and out of place 80's songs in place of actual Nintendo music.

  • ct2651 Charles Trudel (@ct2651) reported

    @fireheart4560 @Eien1239 @ShadowFoxArche you are right that being unique didnt work all the time, it fail 1 time, the wii u... power never made nintendo have more hardware later than before. Never is the word for nintendo. even when no problem happened like the SNES or the GBA that the GBA had 0 competition.

  • Angieterrill1 Angieterrill (@Angieterrill1) reported

    @Link1709 @NintendoUK @Pokemon I am so sorry about what happened to you but I know a guy who can help. Superb_cr4ks on Instagram is the best in relation to any cyber issues

  • HFlandersNP HFlandersNP (@HFlandersNP) reported

    Nintendo, Pokemon Company, whoever. You guys HAVE to figure out and fix the errors that cause #PokemonScarlet and #PokemonViolet to crash. It's so bad.

  • EvanLux2 EvanLux (@EvanLux2) reported

    @EU_Commission In the meantime, Nintendo still refuses to acknowledge the fact that has been selling defective software, particularly the game Pokemon Violet/Scarlet. An issue that any buyer/user of the game faces, yet Nintendo blames the users for the way the handle their Switch consoles

  • Nobodycool10 Nobodycool (@Nobodycool10) reported

    @Local_Elio_Aqua @moi_gam Actually it would make since but at the same time you typing this might get them in trouble with Nintendo

  • MetroidFREAK21 Corey Cooper (@MetroidFREAK21) reported

    @pitto Exactly what I'm saying. Tell Nintendo to go back to 2015 and fix it 😠

  • Link1709 Jon Chamberlain (@Link1709) reported

    @NintendoUK I cannot access pokemon home. I need your help because the @Pokemon support said it was an account issue and they could not assist. There is no way for me to contact you about this on your site.

  • DededeFran WORM (@DededeFran) reported

    Why are ppl acting like Nintendo is solely responsible for Frontiers looking the way that it does? The Switch’s hardware isn’t perfect but a lot of the issues with Frontiers boils down to scrapping and reworking stuff in order for it come out in a timely manner.

  • lixxstar anne⛓semi ia (@lixxstar) reported

    Fast forward to someone working for Nintendo being a stay and fixing that problem for him

  • fersamadsg Fer 🏳️‍🌈 (@fersamadsg) reported

    @ZidartGU @NintendoAmerica I mean it being an exclusive shouldn't be a problem for the selling aspect it's just that the promo has been non-existent 🥲

  • JermareGG Jermare (@JermareGG) reported

    @AndreSegers The problem with Mickey is that Disney hasn't innovated with the IP in a while, unlike Nintendo with Mario. They should get Lord and Miller to do it. They should also take inspiration from Cuphead IMO.

  • AzuraRacon Azura Racon (@AzuraRacon) reported

    @ZenyTalk @ponettplus Iirc the issue with that wound up being Samus didn’t have enough proper characterization at the time to work with and Nintendo didn’t want an outside source making it up Wild to think that might have directly lead to the narrative choices in Fusion and Zero Mission

  • KBr1ce 𝔅𝔯𝔢𝔫𝔡@ 𝔚 🏳️‍⚧️ 𝔩𝔰𝔥 (@KBr1ce) reported

    @EU_Commission April fools was a week ago. Most people don't know what a nintendo switch is. Yes you bought one for your kids a few years back, yes it broke, c'est la vie, quit bothering us with eurocrats issues, thanks.

  • ct2651 Charles Trudel (@ct2651) reported

    @fireheart4560 @Eien1239 @ShadowFoxArche yup, but you ingore the fact that nintendo lost market share at each of these point... power was clearly not working for them.
