Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • C7theEpic C7 (@C7theEpic) reported

    That Pokemon Presents was really bad. I mean shame on me for having some expectations I guess but like bare minimum I was expecting some form of real announcement that Home compatibility was ready or that the performance issues so bad Nintendo made a statement would be addressed

  • klaebaex klae ʚɞ (@klaebaex) reported

    YOOO RELEASE PAID DLC AND DONT FIX THE GAME LAG @NintendoAmerica HAHAAAHAHA

  • ambercastner through ◥•ﻜٕوِبون• ‏ﺧٕٓصٍمٍ•ﻜٕوِدٓ (@ambercastner) reported

    Over Nintendo's confront the problem to me too ؟? ⁦سےفے⁦ 🔹X9🔹 🔹X9🔹 🔹X9🔹

  • szuniverse Sam (@szuniverse) reported

    Like Nintendo are gonna Nintendo but I don't get the release schedule for their online service. How is going months without new content worth it to your subscriber base?

  • trsrpc TM06💿 (@trsrpc) reported

    @demonmike08 As a person who spent many hours across different Pokemon games, it's not even fun. It has severe pacing issues. On top of the performance issues. The entire franchise needs an overhaul with dev support from Nintendo directly.

  • YukiNoiseWaII Yuki (@YukiNoiseWaII) reported

    @finalmasterm0dx I agree Outside of Fire Emblem, Nintendo just... Has never been quite "there" with voice acting. And Fire Emblem has its own issues with localisation too... But that's a whole other topic. God dammit!

  • ErebonianKnight Knight's Atelier 🔞 COMMS OPEN (2/3). (@ErebonianKnight) reported

    @IsildronFamily wouldn't fully blame on Nintendo. More like in terms of profitability it fell behind to Cygames' other IPs and fiercer competition but upholding support would have been nice. Nintendo's biggest issues are they suck with game preservation and they shove certain IPs under the rug.

  • Somari_64 (Comms. OPEN) Mush 1-1 (@Somari_64) reported

    @RocktWithAPockt yeah thats fair. im guessing thats something nintendo themselves is gonna announce though since its through there service shouldve been there at launch though

  • Crusader3456 Crusader, Lord of the Realm (@Crusader3456) reported

    Nintendo and Gamfreak: "Hey you know our most popular GB/GBA games? Let's not put them on the service even though it would send it to the moon." Square Enix levels of goofy.

  • D00bler_ Doob🔞 (@D00bler_) reported

    @Pokemon @NintendoAmerica Why not- now hear me out- fix the base game before trying to squeeze more cash out of your audience?

  • ZeenDonuts Sean (@ZeenDonuts) reported

    so Nintendo did release a Gameboy subscription service without its main game 👀

  • cluesagi cluesagi 🏳️‍⚧️ (@cluesagi) reported

    @Wario64 At this point Nintendo should just get Monolith soft to fix the games' performance because clearly GF can't (or won't)

  • Tocialist Jack (@Tocialist) reported

    As a Pokémon fan, if you want to play the older games (without piracy) you either have to be lucky enough to already have them or be willing to pay an extortionate amount of money. Why won't Nintendo/the pokémon company fix this? #PokemonDay #PokemonPresents

  • JohnnyboySP John Anderson (@JohnnyboySP) reported

    @RyuusukeSaeba @ManletThorin Unfortunately the laws of supply and demand mean that scalpers will always be a thing. It's just annoying to what degree it has become a problem with video games. Especially Nintendo as they never make enough.

  • BangleBingo Tynewijne (@BangleBingo) reported

    Mfs at Nintendo be coming out with DLC before fixing that broken,buggy laggy mess of a game, like PLEASE let me play that game more stable or bring out a damn Switch 2.🙃 #PokemonPresents

  • MannILuBTits MannI LuBTits (@MannILuBTits) reported

    @bunny_4200 @DisneyDLV Oh i see. Maybe a patch could fix it. But that only nintendo can do it. Sorry. 😔

  • ItchyBudju Ripe greenPotato (@ItchyBudju) reported

    @Dommik888 @ZakkenKloot @klobrille Xbox app on your TV will open games up to many more people than ever before. Look at the end game as a consumer, a cheap subscription service for all on every TV. How is that not a win for us at the end of the day. I hope Sony have an app on TVs as well and maybe Nintendo one day

  • bungbav m #IFSS (@bungbav) reported

    @NewBabyDrake no i bought it but i lost my 2FA thing and nintendo doesnt let you turn it off unless you sign in with it

  • LordSizor GroovySoap (@LordSizor) reported

    @VioletZoroark though they are Pokemon Games, I think they fall under Nintendo Directs since it would be on the service itself.

  • Gozilu となりのManoël/ゴジル🧅 | ƓօժՀìӀ@ʍąʂէօժօղ.ʂօçìąӀ (@Gozilu) reported

    @ImaginationTech Sorry but no. The future of gamin is mobile (as in the Nintendo Switch) not tethered to some stupidly high speed/low latency internet connection. Also the future of gaming is by owning the game to play and not depends on a service like Stadia to not die.

  • infamyofsildih Iszy 🌸✨ (@infamyofsildih) reported

    @Tigerkane0 it's ok for a nintendo online game, theres a few bugs and issues i've had with it especially playing with 4 people but should be fine to play with your girlfriend, you cant do gyms together but you can do raids

  • ErebonianKnight Knight's Atelier 🔞 COMMS OPEN (2/3). (@ErebonianKnight) reported

    @IsildronFamily Xenoblade, Zelda, and to some extent Fire Emblem are the main things I still follow from Nintendo. I hated Sword and Shield. Surprisingly I'm 30 hours into SV in spite of the game's problems. And last Mario game I was really into was Odyssey. Dragalia shutting down I (1/2)

  • focusonmeplay Focus 👀🎮👓 (@focusonmeplay) reported

    Took a risk and streamed Pokemon Presents with no tech issues. This means that Nintendo Directs might be streamed in the future, WOOHOO.

  • je213345 Jayce Ellens (@je213345) reported

    @GOStadiumPvP Apparently signing in to my Nintendo account emptied my cart and you cannot select shipping options with an empty cart. FYI if anyone else runs into the same issue.

  • C7theEpic C7 (@C7theEpic) reported

    That Pokemon Presents was really bad. I mean shame on me for having some expectations I guess but like bare minimum I was expecting some form of real announcement that Home compatibility was ready or that the performance issues so bad Nintendo made a statement would be addressed

  • gisdumb tweet'gisdumb (@gisdumb) reported

    @DevinThats @NintendoAmerica Are you in the same region? When I was in Japan I encountered this problem with my American cards

  • Hotfistdotcom HOTFIST.COM🇽 (@Hotfistdotcom) reported

    on banning steve; Honestly some talented modders should put together a fix and if it penetrates competitive play so deeply that everyone uses it, nintendo might fix it out of just absolute pettyness no just kidding they just hate everything What if they do this on purpose?

  • Bettafish112 Bettafish1 (@Bettafish112) reported

    @Dudufd3467 @justdancegame Some problems are also on Nintendo switch

  • ryanharkness_ Ryan Harkness (@ryanharkness_) reported

    @uncensoredpromo When the block button is broken on your super Nintendo controller

  • BloodwolfJon Jon (@BloodwolfJon) reported

    @DesertPogona Yea the main issues such as slowdown glitches etc nintendo doesn't patch that or do anything to fix it. And I don't see them starting now.
