Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mr_normus Dixie Normus (@mr_normus) reported

    @DynamoSuperX Nintendo please buy crash and Spyro

  • MissUmbraTwt Witch from Wherever 🏳️‍⚧️ (@MissUmbraTwt) reported

    @Benimated Give the IP’s to say Nintendo or Sega and see how they’ll treat them I have a hunch that a good chunk of the people who worked on the Crash & Spyro remasters and Crash 4 would migrate to working at the company that bought the IP’s so that the fire woudn’t die out

  • mr_normus Dixie Normus (@mr_normus) reported

    @Reecee_yt Nintendo can do us a big favor and buy crash and Spyro from activion

  • rd_steen Neonova (@rd_steen) reported

    @RealAlexMercado @Pand92364779 @JonComms Did y'all really think AB and Nintendo would have worked a reasonable agreement for Crash? AB probably wanted as much money for Crash as Disney would have wanted for Sora knowing that company

  • Scollectathon Scollectathon (@Scollectathon) reported

    I *really* hate the trend of studio/IP acquisitions that happen on an almost monthly basis these days but if Sony or Nintendo bought the rights to Crash and Spyro, that would be a good day.

  • thesharkant TheSharkAnt Gaming & More (@thesharkant) reported

    @MegaAlexEXE I'm questioning why Nintendo is celebrating Crash's 25th anniversary on a day like this.

  • mcargoowlnoerd kirbyfan3417 (@mcargoowlnoerd) reported

    I need help with my Nintendo switch pro controller. It's a Power A wireless model, and it does not work unless it's charging. Has anyone else had this problem? And how do you fix it? I've already tried pressing every button on the controller, including holding the sync button.

  • Nerdy_Kinkster Musings of a Boy (@Nerdy_Kinkster) reported from Toronto, Ontario

    Device is a Switch Lite. Is my game broken?? 😢 I literally have hundred of hours logged in to this game on this console. What’s the story @NintendoAmerica #botw #NintendoSwitch

  • illustia_ 🐑 Sherp @Pastaaaaa (@illustia_) reported

    @riisha Sakit yan ng Switch from what I've heard. Mostly the Joycon tech being faulty and just stops working even under 1 year of usage. Nintendo still hasn't addressed the issues for it.

  • strangelesbian cynthia 🍥 struggle tweets (@strangelesbian) reported

    so you're telling me that nintendo didn't fix any past glitches that skyward sword originally had? not even the ones that could even softlock people during a playthrough? i'm not surprised

  • MissUmbraTwt Witch from Wherever 🏳️‍⚧️ (@MissUmbraTwt) reported

    @Benimated Bonus points if King merges with Sega/Nintendo’s mobile division to keep Crash on The Run alive

  • FireyRuby FireyRuby (@FireyRuby) reported

    @SenpaiPx Yes #Nintendo. It would be nice to fix the joycon drift issue so that handheld players can continue to enjoy to play on the switch

  • fluxx88 GamingFluxx88 (@fluxx88) reported

    @riotsmash @PlayerEssence The fact that Activision makes games is beside the point. Why not show your disgust without ramming it down people’s throats on a completely different subject, because they said some things you didn’t like about Nintendo. They are completely different issues.

  • ShanCGamer ShanCTheGamer #ShantaeGang #ActuallyAutistic (@ShanCGamer) reported

    @jepticpit20 At this rate, Nintendo should acquire Crash Bandicoot and Spyro.

  • ViviFlorea Viorel (@ViviFlorea) reported

    @ModernVintageG If in a year someone is able to play Metroid Prime on Valve hardware before Switch hardware, then Nintendo have failed from a service standpoint. Gabe is right when he says piracy is a service problem.

  • NickZack14 Nick/Zack (@NickZack14) reported

    @SamWils19061969 @REXBLASTER2 @NintendoAmerica The only fix is not a fix at all, you only removed the Pokemon games from the list.

  • lakersfkingsuck yeezy? (@lakersfkingsuck) reported

    ps5 servers down cbm im a nintendo user 😎

  • ChubsGlobby Globby (@ChubsGlobby) reported

    @JonComms @CEOOfSekiguchi I feel ******* gross now, I bought the crash trilogy, crash 4 and the spyro remakes. Man Nintendo or Sony PLEASE take it from them. I DON'T CARE IF IT BECOMES A CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE AGAIN. Just get it away from these sickos

  • donttrustdarkie travis scott (@donttrustdarkie) reported

    @PlayStation Fix the servers or I’m switching to Nintendo

  • VylizioMega Vylizio! (@VylizioMega) reported

    @UltimaShadowX What really sucks is you can’t tell who’s part of the problem is it just the Activison blizzard offices, the developers, or everyone, not only that but why is only Activision being blasted when Nintendo also does this bullshit

  • zodiacdragon13 sebastin guerrero (@zodiacdragon13) reported

    @PlayerEssence B-b-but they are offering five crash games for 60$, they are still better than nintendo **** Activision (The first one is a joke)

  • PkmnTrainSlate Pokémon Trainer Slate (@PkmnTrainSlate) reported

    Hate to be that person, but Crash is 100% not going to be in smash bros now, because of the whole Activision controversy now. Nintendo wouldn't want to associate themselves with this conflict, because it'd ruin their image. We've just cut off quite a bit of the MW list so far. 😐

  • PaperWorldMan1 Casual White has found your sins UNFORGIVABLE (@PaperWorldMan1) reported

    @NintendoCanada @CrashBandicoot About the Activison thing, Crash isn't entirely owned by Activision Blizzard which is where the faulting is placed in that circumstance, Just to help people clarify

  • ErrantNerd The Nerd Errant (@ErrantNerd) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia "Nintendo Switch Online Continues To Surprise" Surprise? You have been paying attention to the pattern of their online service releases for about the last year or so, right?

  • IAMLULAWS LULAWS (@IAMLULAWS) reported

    @Actually_Tina let's not forget that the drift issue has apparently been solved in a video with a piece of cardboard but Nintendo won't say or do anything about it cause they'd get assblasted in a lawsuit if they did lmao

  • GlitteratiXoXo Glitterati (@GlitteratiXoXo) reported

    @RL_Support I have tried mobile and web and it doesn't work. I click the switch logo to login, enter my Nintendo information and it brings me back to the submit a ticket screen each time. Never does it show me as logged in nor does the submit a ticket appear. Is there an email I could use

  • SomaCovington Soma Myles Covington (@SomaCovington) reported

    Gonna be honest, Nintendo are currently crap at responding to their customer service forms. I've submitted the same problem 3 times over the course of a month and had no response. It's not like they have a phone number I can ring either so all I can do is keep poking :/

  • nyuwpy Flora 🌺 (@nyuwpy) reported

    i feel like nintendo has the worst pnline service because you have to pay for mostly peer to peer connection and you don't even get earthbound6

  • crystalskyes80 Crystal Skyes (@crystalskyes80) reported

    @RDropped I’m more curious if it will actually launch at all hahaha. With the chip shortages still being an issue and covid. I just think this is going to be like the Nintendo PlayStation and the Sega neptune. They exist, people have touched them, but they get canned.

  • Goldspira1 goldspiral (@Goldspira1) reported

    i thought i would need nintendo online to play pokemon unite, but i'm so happy that it doesnt require nintendo online. probably because at the end of the day it's a mobile game that has a home on the switch, but i think their below average online service should be free
