Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AzFoxxo 🪢 Az Foxxo 🏳️‍🌈 (@AzFoxxo) reported

    Unpopular opinion Nintendo should stop making hardware and just make games for the Steam Deck/PC and other consoles Their hardware is riddled with problems in recent years and their revenue is mainly from games sales

  • Ghostly_Dubba Ghostly_Dubba or Dubba (@Ghostly_Dubba) reported

    Why can't Nintendo fix there online servers for splatoon because wtf have been my matches of just pure lag

  • Des_Subari Escaflonase. send tweet. (@Des_Subari) reported

    •The dude behind Serebii messaged his contacts at TPCi and TPCi told him "We dont have any issue with fans/[content] creators playing by rules", even though that was not even remotely what the Nintendo Employees said

  • PedroAGMYT AGM (AquelGamerMexicano) COMMS ARE OPEN (@PedroAGMYT) reported

    @net34a @Real_Priception @TWTHEREDDRAGON Hell, people talk alot of **** about Nintendo with how their drip feed on updates and content is slow, which is true and deserves criticism. Yet that also has gotten better than Infinite. The format isn't the problem, it's that they did not plan this through, AS WE HAVE SEEN.

  • Pr3ttiDaNgerouS A N N A (@Pr3ttiDaNgerouS) reported

    @hulu is giving me way to much frustration with all these error messages and me closing the app and rebooting it! #draining it is..it’s happening on my phone, PlayStation, Nintendo, etc. so I know it’s not me.

  • trusteft Trusteft (@trusteft) reported

    @fultonbot @WeekRetro I just wish Americans when mentioning it, also mentioned it as an American crash, not world. Nintendo didn't save gaming. Nintendo perhaps saved the American gaming market. Which is fine, I am not against any of that. Just for them to clarify.

  • mtshirogane シロガネ。 (@mtshirogane) reported

    @BIueWitch Real story: I played Splatoon 3 and had a whole team, but once the match started, they were gone and I fought four people all by myself. When is Nintendo gonna fix this?

  • A17871561 A (@A17871561) reported

    @rebirth_77 @Viclis_ @NintendoAmerica It just fitted in the current id gaps. Tho they update every single tour, so one for broken pier could appear

  • nnoouuvv it's nouv! (@nnoouuvv) reported

    @TypeYStimpack i feel like. in my experience using the steam controller. "motion control-assisted stick gameplay" felt like a totally and completely solved issue, and they were doing input device emulation and not actually programming the games themselves. is that just me. and not nintendo.

  • Velocir35149743 Velociraptor (@Velocir35149743) reported

    @fultonbot @WeekRetro in landfills and nothing happened until the Nintendo Entertainment System appeared and brought everything back to life. All 3 of us on TWIR are micro enthusiasts and in the UK we had a boom while the crash was happening. (2/5)

  • Sassybutterflyx Sassy Butterfly (@Sassybutterflyx) reported

    @DisneyDLV Issues with the Nintendo switch opening the tools doesn’t work most of the time

  • DjSonOfLight1 Dj Son Of Light/kirbywordy 25+ (@DjSonOfLight1) reported

    @NintendoAmerica can you let nintendo japan know that animal crossing new horizons has a glitch where if you delete your island, you can't go back online? @KitandKrysta its really been bothering me that i can't go back online with animal crossing and no update has addressed it

  • OsminaDeveraux Osmina Deveraux (🔞) (@OsminaDeveraux) reported

    @McNutcase When Nintendo started charging money for their online service it pushed a lot of kids away, but the ones who remain have galvanized and are now much more vocal. For me, it just warms my cold, stony heart every time I see another kid shouting "I'M GAY" at the top of their lungs

  • YishuHuang4 Yishu Huang (@YishuHuang4) reported

    @FallGuysGame I can't play it on Nintendo!! I can't even see the things in shopping cart! Does anyone else have this issue or it's only me😣😣😖

  • Jardoin19 Jack (@Jardoin19) reported

    @_KAMUIUEHARA I don't have a problem with the dude but like he talks exclusively to PR people who's entire job is making tpci look good to the public. The Nintendo Minute folks were talking to actual higher ups. It only makes sense that he was fed the more appealing take.

  • skwoodily2 skwood! (@skwoodily2) reported

    the slosher in this game is BROKEN man but dont tell nintendo because i dont want them to nerf it

  • kawaiimandar 𝒞𝒽𝒶𝓇𝓂𝒶𝓃𝒹𝒶𝓇 (@kawaiimandar) reported

    Nintendo, for the love of Christ FIX YOUR SERVERS!!!!!! I can’t even play a game of Splatoon with my friends without being hammered with connection errors. This is getting REAL OLD

  • trusteft Trusteft (@trusteft) reported

    @fultonbot @WeekRetro it's really annoying hearing about the great video game crash and Nintendo saving gaming and all that. I think it's similar to how some events in the USA are called "World" when they mean "USA only". Otherwise I like the USA. But not this. This is bad. Didn't happen. :)

  • cornhime taylor robin (@cornhime) reported

    i do wish in photo mode everything stayed Still. idk what nintendo has against freezing things when you're in photo mode, the acnh dlc has the same problem

  • MediaMistress2 Media Mistress (@MediaMistress2) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA COME FIX THIS GAME NOW PLEASE!!! Last week's maintenance did NOT fix a lot of issues!!! #Splatoon3

  • SuperSlumped Pseudo Gully (@SuperSlumped) reported

    I’ve been noticing a lot of typos in myself on on other folks’ tweets. Apple needs to take notes from the Nintendo DS and give us options to calibrate our screens. Do android users have this problem?

  • dinodphantom37 dinofan37 (@dinodphantom37) reported

    @notdussy @NormalGuy42069 @NintendoAmerica Nintendo always planned to charge for an online service, when it was free they didn't know how to do much with online services and they didn't know how to charge for it at the time

  • trump2Prisonnow IdolForever (@trump2Prisonnow) reported

    @jendewph @DisneyDLV 2nd, 3rd and 4th that. This game a broken mess. I am contacting Nintendo of America and demanding a full refund.

  • HerKittenKara PokemonPrincess (@HerKittenKara) reported

    Most nuzlockes in pokemon games use some form of randomizer, or are ran on emulators/fan hacks, both of which are no-no's for content creators. Straight "pure" nuzlockes are rare and are not what Nintendo have problems with.

  • isacrossin isa (@isacrossin) reported

    gambling on twitch isn’t the issue. you know who we should call out? nintendo for creating pocket camp when i was 17. do you know how much ******* money i spent on those goddamn in game fortune cookies

  • WillBertazzo Will Bertazzo Lambert (@WillBertazzo) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Not that I think anyone doubts me, but my internet is extremely consistent and I regularly enter online tournaments in various games. This is a problem on @NintendoAmerica

  • Fenix_Mujica F3nix_CM (@Fenix_Mujica) reported

  • guessilltweet just for photos (@guessilltweet) reported

    not pictured is everybody else DCing at the same time, the tower lagging for a while, and me cursing out my wifi before realizing this was a Nintendo Moment

  • Valleyofdeath77 Cherry_8:24 (@Valleyofdeath77) reported

    @TheABK3237 @TWTHEREDDRAGON Why should MS care what Sony and Nintendo do? Your talking money people on here are talking about a game that has been in trouble from day 1.
