Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • CRESC3N7 CRES (@CRESC3N7) reported

    @ReasonEddie @godofwahhhhhh @NintendoAmerica The problem is that it takes the enemy the same amount of hits to take down one of your units as well. This feels more like a balancing issue than a difficulty issue because with so many turn spent taking out one unit on either side just slows the game down considerably.

  • Krulezitoh Simp de JAVI & DALAS 🐝🍞🇨🇱 (@Krulezitoh) reported

    @RobbieHaruna @Vascillia @NintendoAmerica Crash and Spyro are Remakes

  • dumbsquidenergy Forest (@dumbsquidenergy) reported

    Thanks Nintendo for not mentioning a service update during ranked

  • RobertLouisRob3 Rorro Pirorro (@RobertLouisRob3) reported

    @JCeretor @schlangche @NintendoAmerica That person is a lost cause with their broken logic. Its like talking to a wall.

  • LTDastrup Landon Dastrup (@LTDastrup) reported

    Anyone with a solution to my Wife's Switch issue? @NintendoAmerica @Nintendo anyone?

  • DavespriteALT Davesprite (@DavespriteALT) reported

    @nintendolife Ah yes because the colour of a controller really matters more than actual problems with a controller, you know like DRIFT. Nintendo fans really are the most braindead fans out there. "Muh controller is a slightly different colour"

  • SuperCitrusTV Super Citrus (@SuperCitrusTV) reported

    @Speend10 @badvgtakes @DockingWater17 I think the issue is the frequency of Splatoon's release schedule. Most major Nintendo franchises only get one major release per console (Ex. Zelda, 3D Mario, MarioKart) which caused a lot of people to view Splatoon 3 as unnecessary

  • LiGOTYutenantD Chief (@LiGOTYutenantD) reported

    @lopesmorrenofim @OfficialSlickYT Add on the fact that PC has no physical media, has DRM and hacker issues, weak competition amongst storefronts, and no unique AAA content even for a limited time, PC is not an enticing platform for me in any way. I’d rather game in Nintendo’s overpriced ecosystem.

    @AshleyEsqueda @JimiCroker Jimi which shopping service did you use? My normal one doesn’t have nintendo world

  • kciao k (@kciao) reported

    @2Jakeycakey Each year the graphics get better. I bought crash bandicoot trilogy on Nintendo when they released it for the updated graphics 🥺🤘

  • GorgoBongo Equivalent Exchange is Eternal (@GorgoBongo) reported

    @codenamedave404 To be fair, he doesn't seem too big on Yakuza, he likes them but he also has a lot of issues with him... But his favorite games are Nintendo which is Japanese lol

  • 2MuchVariety 2MuchVariety (@2MuchVariety) reported

    @Yonnitheduck have you sent them in to Nintendo already? They can fix it for free

  • RadioFreCaemlyn Radio Free Caemlyn (@RadioFreCaemlyn) reported

    I wish I had access to my old Nintendo Power issues; there's something in either Volume 217 or 219 I'd like to check.

    @OldMemeArchive PlayStation: if it ain't broke, don't fix it Xbox: there's always room for improvement Nintendo: d R uG S

  • frogjail problematic childe (@frogjail) reported

    @Jax_Fighting I actually used this to fix audrey's lite and it worked super well, but this joystick is like, not nintendo-looking. I think it's probably just the way it is since it was a third-party thing. thanks though!!!

  • GDawg915 Rust-Dawg (@GDawg915) reported

    @SharOverHere_ It does but there is a difference between someone having doodoo internet vs Nintendo being ******. Sometimes you can’t do anything about lag. In this case tho I thought it was funny cuz Roy is booty with lag

  • BrawlerSmash BrAwLeR Smash (@BrawlerSmash) reported

And I Don't Know How To Solve It. You Can Help Me Pls?

  • megaoctobot MegaOctobot (@megaoctobot) reported

    @Nash076 @PushinUpRoses There's a guy unaffiliated with nintendo who made an edm type track and just cuts off halfway through and plays the Super Mario World dungeon theme unchanged. Any video with a dungeon level gets a strike from him. The system is beyond broken.

  • Cythoplasm Aurelian Sol Ring (@Cythoplasm) reported

    @Dragonogon If I'm not mistaken, Pokémon has one of the largest profit margins of any Nintendo franchise, I feel that a lot of the problems could have been fixed by outsourcing parts. They may have been very solid reasons against this, but it seems like it would be beneficial for all.

  • MysteriousUber MysteriousUber (@MysteriousUber) reported

    @NintendoAmerica fix your ******* servers

  • zacaruso ZACARUSO (@zacaruso) reported

    Supposedly there's another smash leak claiming that Crash and Monster Hunter are the two final characters of Fighter's Pass 2. They claim that Nintendo is planning on having a smash concert series in Japan and the songlist features N. Sanity Beach and Proof of a Hero. Hmmmmm.

  • goldtechtips gold (@goldtechtips) reported

    if ypu piss the bed once every 5 years thats forgettable ok just wash ur bed. If u piss the bed every 5 days now we have a problem. Get ******* help .yhis is my take on nintendo products as of late

  • NinjaBrix Ninja Brix (@NinjaBrix) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @DCSHG I don’t have a big problem with this game in general. It’s just the fact that they saved it a spot for the Nintendo direct that could be used for something way better. Plus, it’s 60 bucks and will even be getting a physical release.
