Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MetalJunkie94 Mugsey ⿲ (@MetalJunkie94) reported

    @Nintendeal All Nintendo has to do is just guarantee all the “ULTRA RARE” cards in every single pack. That will lower the value since they won’t be. Problem solved

  • reydelsans reydelsans (@reydelsans) reported

    @RedLasagna @NintendoAmerica Ik it’s made by Disney but it would make the snes online service worth it for all members. Instead we have these sub par games that I’m pretty sure 90% of people never heard of.

  • wikanorip wikano (@wikanorip) reported

    @ADavatwal @SamusHunter2 a capcom rep instead of crash activision will never accept crash in smash because they are rats and they certainly set too high prices look at the current dlcs, i don't think that nintendo paid a lot for one dlc

  • monica_dleon 🍓buttercup (@monica_dleon) reported

    I think all my problems would be solved if I just had a Nintendo switch...

  • SuperKamiCalvin Calvin (Ultimate Hope) (@SuperKamiCalvin) reported

    Does anyone play Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled on the Nintendo Switch? I need help on how to U-Turn in the game.

  • DIAC1987 Milton Malespin (@DIAC1987) reported

    @BlackSupremeKai Problem is, their software just couldn’t compete with Nintendo’s arsenal of quality content. And with the Vita it was twice as bad. Nintendo makes gold out of dirt, and competitors to this day struggle to compete even with bigger budgets and advanced technology

  • CobaltGengar Cobalt Stays @ Home (@CobaltGengar) reported

    Some rupee balance issues and only four major dungeons but overall a fantastic Zelda experience. It pains me that we don’t get more 2D Zeldas... Maybe Nintendo can let Capcom make another 2D Zelda... Please, Nintendo...

  • nescartridges WSD | becca (@nescartridges) reported

    @Rolig__ not necessarily toys for bob has nothing to do with the license, activision could still get with nintendo and pass him over plus crash is more popular than ever rn so why wait

  • CrispyFrise 🍐The crispy channel🍐🆖️ (@CrispyFrise) reported

    @mrevaporation And if you say "crash can't be a Sony character because he's on multiple consoles" bruh what video game franchise (that isn't a Nintendo franchise) hasn't found their way to multiple consoles at least once!

  • RobertAJMurray Robert Murray (@RobertAJMurray) reported

    @MojangStatus Is there currently an issues with Realms via Nintendo Switch? I have been stuck with the "Building terrain" section of the loading screen and have tried restarting, logging out of my Microsoft account, as well as reinstalling the game. Any suggestions?

  • CobbeCorne CorneCobbe (@CobbeCorne) reported

    @NintendoAmerica fix whatever is preventing Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance from being put on the eshop

  • Itz_Prince_Dj Nintendo (@Itz_Prince_Dj) reported

    @mrevaporation I mean...we have alot of characters bit owned by Nintendo so crash can make it unless they get over the legal stuff

  • BergeauxStormie Stormie Bergeaux (@BergeauxStormie) reported

    If Apex Legends doesn’t resolve this issue of not counting my progress on Nintendo switch i want a full refund for my money back from buying the battle pass. I hadn’t been able to play since the season update with only 82 days left. @Respawn please fix this issue

  • RoggyFroggy Roggy Froggy (@RoggyFroggy) reported

    @AshGamingZA @BlackIsleStudio its the same issue that happened to battle brothers. Nintendo can be slow in giving the greenlight for games to go up on the eshop. took battlebrothers a few weeks before it finally went up.

  • xPeace0 Peace 💭🙏💭 #BLM (@xPeace0) reported

    @themodernnmom The first game I ever remembered playing was Crash Bandicoot on the PlayStation 1. Also Connors Adventure or something like that on the Nintendo 64 I believe.

  • _schatteneis Schatteneis (@_schatteneis) reported

    wow I love playing Skyrim on my Nintendo sw- THE SOFTWARE WAS CLOSED BECAUSE AN ERROR OCCURED

  • swinuk Swin (@swinuk) reported

    @NintendoUK @NintendoEurope I have a software issue on switch. I can't play multplayer games due to drift/ghosting/delay from the controller to the system.I know its not the hardware as have used 3rdparty controlllers that work fine bt have issues on the #NintendoSwitch #Nintendo

  • GrilaGripSnussy snail grip (@GrilaGripSnussy) reported

    The problem with male idols in splatoon 3 is that Nintendo will make them as fruity as possible and then excessively make sure nobody thinks they’re gay

  • LuckyGhost0 Lucky Ghost | (@LuckyGhost0) reported

    I think a system update fixed my switch lol It didnt do its sleep error and the battery is woking so far I still have the nintendo label too

  • AppleOfClowns Eris (@AppleOfClowns) reported

    @LucasN2TD1 @NintendoUK Not necessarily. Just a game that isn't so bright that my eyes begin to strain while I'm playing it. I don't remember this being a problem in X and Y or Sun and Moon, it seems to be a Switch Pokémon artistic change.

  • BergeauxStormie Stormie Bergeaux (@BergeauxStormie) reported

    Is anyone else on Apex Legends Nintendo switch not getting progress counted? Or nor service on the Dallas Texas server? This is quiet frankly forgive my language pissing me off. We’re 82 days into the new season and I can’t play.

  • EnrichMondo Nell Rich (@EnrichMondo) reported

    @BowtieShyGuy @PushDustIn Yeah I did notice and consider that. Only problem is that every other game available I'm going to buy cheaper physically! I'll probably have to wait for the inevitable Nintendo 33% off discount in a year or so..

  • basedjefa Jefa (@basedjefa) reported

    @ChrisBeBored @Sora_Sakurai I can see both but imo Rayman has a higher chance since those Ubisot- Nintendo collabs in the past. Doesnt mean Crash cant get in.

  • Unnamedhero3 Unnamedhero (@Unnamedhero3) reported

    @pewpewpikachu Gameboys have survived wars, and somehow modern Nintendo still has this problem.

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • TimothyQueen1 RetroVideoGameNerd (@TimothyQueen1) reported

    @tallgamingman Please do not instigate problems in your comments because you do not like Nintendo's actions or decisions. Imagine if they did not provide this, and Texas Instruments made a Switch app. If you were mad about 8 bucks, imagine 70+ for a Switch TI graphing calulator app.

  • xxaidenscottxx whoomy loomy (deleted) (@xxaidenscottxx) reported

    @_Ryanmiller70 @NintendoAmerica This still isn't a good thing Nintendo can't even give us basic ******* features like voice chat or parties and the 2 service that comes with their ****** online subscription has a dripfeed library of like 70 old ****** *** games this is why we need emulation-

  • rachelpadg rachel padgett (@rachelpadg) reported

    why have the compatibility issues with @Samsung TVs and @NintendoAmerica switch docks not been fixed yet? I’ve never been able to play my switch on the tv and it sucks considering I bought so many multi player games that are just collecting dust because of it

  • fakegothgir1 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒂🌙 (@fakegothgir1) reported

    @Marron_ac @djcisland_acnh I’m too lazy to do the steps for the glitch @NintendoAmerica pls I just want to enjoy my claw foot tub 😩

  • AlviterRodrigo Rodrigo Alviter (@AlviterRodrigo) reported

    @CameronRitz Yeah at my store it hasn’t been a huge problem about restocks since there is a Nintendo switch shortage as well a lot of costumers just leave sad . It’s mostly the Pokémon collectors who we are scared of
