Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • hippopothomasj Thomas Marchant 🐈 🇵🇸 (@hippopothomasj) reported

    @MondayMonkin Yeah they're particularly bad, but I think this has been a big problem at Nintendo since NSMB Wii. It feels like they only really care about the art styles of their really big budget games

  • Miguel_Casso Miguel (@Miguel_Casso) reported

    @KHover4life @NXRazzalyn @NinEverything I do not know what you mean, the distribution of rom is illegal it does not matter if there is profit or not (and Nintendo at least in the United States only persecutes the distributors) and the emulators are totally legal with that there is no problem

  • Ekoncookie Ekøn (@Ekoncookie) reported

    @kibsquib48 I literally have never played splatoon on my own switch even though I like the games a lot Mainly cuz Nintendo be like “ah yes now pay the almost original retail price for a 3 year old game and then pay for our crappy subscription service as well”

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 24 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • NepsKnight NepsKnight of Nep is the one waifu for laifu (@NepsKnight) reported

    @AnimeNoel drift is a bad thing with those Joy Cons, there is a simple fix with a piece of cardboard LOL I know it sounds dumb but it works. Or nintendo was fixing them for free if you send em in.

  • texjoachim Joachim Ziebs (@texjoachim) reported

    Just realized that I haven't received any new calendar wallpapers via Nintendo's Japanese Line account for ages. Did they stop the service?

  • EjoTheDev Ejo2001 💻 (@EjoTheDev) reported

    @AceOfParts_ Because let's say that nintendo invest in creating a breath of the wild game, and let's say that they will price it around 50$. The problem is that they can't charge dollars on Roblox, so it would have to be Robux. 2/?

  • TheGoldenSmithy TheGoldSmith (@TheGoldenSmithy) reported

    I sent in my Joycons in for repair a month ago and I still don’t have them back. They say that they’re returning them now, but the shipping company won’t give me any information on them. Nintendo please fix your controllers so I never need to do this again

  • RealThisisChris ThisisChris999 (@RealThisisChris) reported

    Thanks to a Nintendo switch crash, I lost all Minecraft worlds, including 5 seperate seeds I was gonna show off and a creative world I've been using for 3 years🥺

  • Tera_spl R2G|Tera (@Tera_spl) reported

    @floriannn__ 🤨 nintendo better fix their game

  • Evandittmar1 Evan dittmar (@Evandittmar1) reported

    @visoredavenger @felipefesantana The problem is Nintendo nor any company really cares what you have to say they care about what you buy. You have to vote with your wallet speaking out rarely does anything unfortunately, gaming wise.

  • xLordHypnos Jac (@xLordHypnos) reported

    Why in the holy **** is my youngest nephew always getting expensive electronics to destroy said electronic device half a year later. His destroy device count is 3 Nintendo 3ds, 1 joy-con controller, 1 Nintendo Switch (broken screen, liquid spill on it), and more things.

  • SSilver1813 AFRO||On God|peep pinned (@SSilver1813) reported

    @jiwas72 Like I feel like SDI wouldn't even be an issue if Nintendo made better controllers so that's not Steve's problem at all

  • mgcxghost VIVI!!!! 🌙🕊 (@mgcxghost) reported

    @SarukaiWolf wasn't that happening to people posting videos on yt with nintendo songs too? A random person would upload a comp of popular sound clips and then claim it as theirs. The copyright system is so broken. 😐

  • scully1888 Chris Scullion (@scully1888) reported

    @SuperLuigiBroos @James_Batchelor I think the problem is that Nintendo of America called him Mario then DiC Entertainment made up the Brooklyn stuff for the cartoons, so none of the actual Japanese developers can seemingly agree because they never actually came up with an official backstory for him

  • UnchainedCaesar Hipnotik Hylian (@UnchainedCaesar) reported

    @DreamcastGuy Uh what? Look this was a good review and it's fine to praise the PS5 version but at the expense of Switch and claiming actual LIES saying it "struggles" to run Nintendo Switch? I dunno about that one chief, I have had zero issues....it's literally a 2D top down game.

  • NathanKaiser85 NathanKaiser85 (@NathanKaiser85) reported

    @DrLavaYT hopefully your not in trouble with Nintendo or Pokemon

  • rinjirenee Ringo Law (@rinjirenee) reported

    i've muted my thread about The Thing 'cause i'm unfairly unpacking on folks i know aren't my enemy, also i don't owe my ex an ounce more of my thoughts i've deleted the game and i'll just eat the cost since nintendo doesn't issue refunds

  • davidthefrikr davidthefrikr (@davidthefrikr) reported

    @SuperNGuy this looks like an issue related to the first batch of nintendo switches, mine instead cracked and the plastic broke you can check if the battery is swollen by just unscrewing the back and the shield

  • sakura_neko606 🌸sakura-neko🌸 (@sakura_neko606) reported

    @nintendolife "DON'T BUY THIS OVERPRICED PORT, NINTENDO WON'T MAKE ANYTHING GOOD IF THIS CONTINUE!!!" says the idiots who literally caused this problem by buying everything that Nintendo makes without complaining, what a bunch of hypocrites 😑

  • CailanVR Cailan | 🔇🌈🤟 (@CailanVR) reported

    @booredatwork I'd actually SPECIFICALLY like to see a Nintendo DS emulator running on this! From what I can see, the only issue would be shoulder buttons!

  • bonbaneagldink Bonbaneagldink (@bonbaneagldink) reported

    @Rizdraws I doubt it's the real Nintendo, probably just someone (or multiple people) abusing the copyright system and Twitter not actually looking into the issue.

  • JeffyStreet Jeffy Street (@JeffyStreet) reported

    @ZoruaBell Before you try anything, go into System Settings > Other Settings > Calibrate Circle pad. If that doesn't fix it, send it to Nintendo.

  • abajoarzu Fliplino, I guess (Prince46) (@abajoarzu) reported

    @SuperMarioT_YT Wait wasn't the problem that Nintendo wasn't letting Paper Mario go back? Or is Intelligent Systems muddled in too

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • InknAmber Ink & Amber - Illustrator (@InknAmber) reported

    @Kotaku Piracy is normally an issue around availability. If Nintendo want to stop rom piracy...they can just offer their own infrastructure for people legally access them. They could destroy rom distribution over night if they really wanted to. Nintendo hardly needs 2 million.

  • goose_ebooks goose_ebooks (@goose_ebooks) reported

    @Mvoice13 nintendo power did a walkthrough of this for a few issues and i always wanted the game could not get it i chose this life when i didn't choose an animal

  • hopeful_den Dennise (@hopeful_den) reported from Reno Junction, California

    How to fix Nintendo anything? Just blow on it. It's probably just some dust!

  • Ptylio_ Ptylio🦋 🐝 (@Ptylio_) reported

    New joycon is already broken @NintendoAmerica you’re so absolutely dogshit it’s ******* sad.

  • GeneralAntilles Ryan Abel (@GeneralAntilles) reported

    Chasing the Beam (Atari VCS) isn't as good as I Am Error (Nintendo NES). It's half the length, which is probably why, but technical details are limited and it just didn't engage me like I Am Error did. Still, it was interesting and it makes a good set-up for I Am Error.
