Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DaCrystalGolem CrystalGolem (@DaCrystalGolem) reported

    @theWellRedMage The original reason is because nintendo had trouble animating a crawl in the original Metroid. Then it just became a staple, plus you could argue rolling into a ball is better than crawling.

  • Hungry4GoodArt Hungry For Patrick Troughton Doc Who Eps (@Hungry4GoodArt) reported

    @the_guttermouth no, it's you being a gormless brat blathering about "manhood" issue. Now go drink yer ovaltine and clean yer room or yer Mum is gonna take yer Nintendo away.

  • Happymartin1993 Happymartin 🇺🇦 (@Happymartin1993) reported

    @BrahmsStoker Nintendo sees something I guess...maybe one last ditch attempt to do something before they either have to clamp down and fix the franchise. Can't see them abandoning it.

  • str8upRockDr Doc M (@str8upRockDr) reported

    @hodgetwins The problem is a 6’6” 245 lb 17 year old man beating an unconscious woman over a Nintendo should be tried for attempted murder as a man.

  • Diehardgamer83 Diehardgamer1983 (@Diehardgamer83) reported

    I'll be starting #LinksAwakeningDX next Sunday. Tomorrow, I'll be continuing my first playthrough of Toejam & Earl for the Sega Genesis on the Nintendo Switch Online service. Stream starts at 1pm MST & Pacific, 4pm EDT.

    @NintendoAmerica Your website is totally painful when trying to setup a repair request, and all your help topics are not fixing the problem. And can your page stop opening new tabs every time I click on a new link!! Need help, asap… #ErrorCode2110-1118

  • TheBY2K BY2K 🇨🇦 (@TheBY2K) reported

    Dude I'm so freaking tired of hearing the same tired "concern" that TotK will have performance issues similar to Pokémon Scarlet/Violet and that's why Nintendo is still being shy about it. NINTENDO EPD ISN'T GAMEFREAK

  • Oni_Grimpachi GODDAMN SUPERHERO ! (@Oni_Grimpachi) reported

    @DJK1NG_Gaming You have to have Nintendo online service. You can't remove that out if the equation.

    @NintendoAmerica me angy fix

  • EZEtheman3000 Eric (@EZEtheman3000) reported

    @Kingdomkey23 Biggest problem with the original Metroid is no map. You either asked for one politely by sending a fan letter to Nintendo or calling the hotline. Otherwise, you needed Nintendo Power magazine for the map. I think it's fun, but backtracking can be slightly annoying.

  • chocolateesmrd SheldonBurro🐴 (@chocolateesmrd) reported

    @ImpishMATT It sucks ***. At least Bethesda and CDPR after Fallout 76 and Cyberpunk apologized after their worst game release ever for their companies. Nintendo was the one to aknowledge the issues, not them! Not a single word in the Pokémon Presents even!

  • dcvoidman Epic Badass Skeleton (@dcvoidman) reported

    @ShitpostGate I can’t fix my Nintendo Switch joy von because of this ****

  • MeltzDraws MeltzDraws⚰️ (@MeltzDraws) reported

    @BoxmanYT Jokes aside, I do see a lot, like a lot of negativity around S3 rn and it makes me sad bc they fixed most of the stuff the game needed but more problems were created that made the game worse. At this point idk if I have faith in Nintendo to top S1

  • Suneater01 Suneater (@Suneater01) reported

    Should I do even more fatal error crossovers? And if so any suggestions? I'm thinking mostly nintendo/Sega games

    @transmascpearl Praying that Nintendo brings it back on their online service 🙏

  • Jiikae Jiikae (@Jiikae) reported

    Like idk. Feels like you see this problem far less with Nintendo for example. Even when the IP is new. Though they do pay attention to trends more than people generally think. Its usually lite.

  • SargedWash88 N.G.Chloe CEO of Miorine Defense (@SargedWash88) reported

    I gotta say it. I hate the PlayStation menus. The Xbox menus are bad too, but in different ways. The menus I like are Stream's and Nintendo's, though even they have their fair share of problems. Everything is just more well laid out there

    Nintendo button scheme is mad alien to me now. Trying to implement it while playing windwaker but that **** is not working out at all man. Unfortunate scene

  • DeltaPhoenix809 Delta (@DeltaPhoenix809) reported

    @JoeMerrick Do you know if TPCi or Nintendo have plans to fix the issue with not being able to buy the mystery dungeon gates to infinity DLC in PAL regions before the eshop closes later this March?

  • OtakuboyT Thomas (Double Zeta Gundam Male) (@OtakuboyT) reported

    I borrowed a Nintendo Switch from work (Library). I played Pokémon and got fairly far, I look into buying a memory card for moving my saves off so I have them when I buy one eventually. TIL you can't transfer saves long term without saying for a subscription service. WTF?

  • kirbyfan9000 AzurePhoenix563 (@kirbyfan9000) reported

    The Walking Wake/Iron Leaves problem. However, you and Nintendo need to work on a fix so there's no save error. I have two suggestions for you all to consider. 1. To fix the current problem, maybe find some way to have the DLC marked as purchased but not actually downloaded.
