Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • STK_8va schuyler (@STK_8va) reported

    yes nintendo stinks, but ultimate players aren’t wrong for still playing it or whatever. they actively undermine every aspect of competitive smash so let people be excited about a new character imo (and if it’s crash, I’m playing ultimate again lol)

  • KollinNaples #iPadAirSzn? (@KollinNaples) reported

    @TheWonPMK @Nintendo NOW YOU KNOW I want Crash. If I get him you can have whatever 2 you want LMAO!!!!

  • JosJuice_ Jos(ユース) (@JosJuice_) reported

    Nintendo's UK stream is broken for some reason...? The audio is working but not the video And it looks more like something that's a YouTube bug. It's not black video or anything like that, it's that the placeholder image and play button don't go away

  • scarlyxl SCARLY (@scarlyxl) reported

    bruh this dude gotta fix his hair before coming on nintendo direct

  • RexSparxHD Rex (@RexSparxHD) reported

    By now the idea of Crash in Smash is a pipedream. Also to the people actually expecting Ratchet of all people....seriously? Nintendo probably gets headaches on a daily cause of Persona, imagine Ratchet added to it.

  • Alta_mirage Altamirage (@Alta_mirage) reported

    alright, nintendo direct.... eggman or mr. crash bandicoot. lets ******* gooo

  • Genie_93 Genie (@Genie_93) reported

    @jessjakku Just give me an Nintendo Subscription service like Xbox where I can play all old games and I am happy

  • ReelRhoades Randy Rhoades (@ReelRhoades) reported

    @CapeWeeb >Leak Lists That's your problem right there! Never Trust Nintendo Leak Lists.

  • WhizzoUK Jason Wilson (@WhizzoUK) reported

    The YouTube chat for the Nintendo Direct is as pointless as ever, even Quicksilver, which ever version, would have trouble keeping up with it.

  • beepbonkers beepster (@beepbonkers) reported

    fear that nintendo direct will crash twitter

  • adam_blakeslee GamesMajorYT (@adam_blakeslee) reported

    @NathanielBandy1 @NintendoAmerica Maybe they kept the kickstand black so that if it happens to break off you can just swap another kickstand from an old switch or just buy another replacement one with no issues

  • GartonArthur Arthur Garton🌍🌱💚🦑 (@GartonArthur) reported

    Crash Bandicoot was robbed by Nintendo.

  • asterlactuca no it's lin 💛💛 (@asterlactuca) reported

  • GarlicAvery Avery Garlic (@GarlicAvery) reported

    Nintendo just killed my dream of crash 😭

    My biggest problem with Nintendo directs is that like 90% of the announcements are games that have been out in other systems for a long as time
