Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MaturePurple Tom 🌹 NEET Arc (@MaturePurple) reported

    Chaos;Head is a legitimate game. Moreso than a lot of stuff that gets put on Steam and the Switch store. At least Nintendo is able to recognize this and has no problem releasing the game. But apparently Steam doesn't think a game with multiple TV adaptations is safe for them.

  • magicwaterz (COMMS CLOSED (1/3)) Magicwaterz (@magicwaterz) reported

    @PG3DDarkHope @Nintendo Ah, just the boost pad effects but are drowned out by the other effects. Man, it's not polished. I guess they might fix it in Wave 3, who knows...

  • crown_puff Adam (DSJ) (@crown_puff) reported

    You know, if there was an in game glitch to freeze Pokémon stadium, it would be totally fine to stream at Nintendo events. Could actually be a huge bounty on that for the Nintendo loving TOS out there

  • LubbaSMG2 Roxie (@LubbaSMG2) reported

    @KeyToAeris @NintendoAmerica It's not live service, it's a multiplayer mini game collection with the option to play online

  • ThatDudeVG Dude's Got It (@ThatDudeVG) reported

    @BrochachoTB40 Like, bottom of the toilet bowl, Only Costs 1 Wii Shop Point, and the only traction it got was a "Grumble Grumble" ranking in that one issue of Nintendo Power

  • winnie3s Winnie (@winnie3s) reported

    Nintendo netcode is bad and 80% of players play on wifi by design and they charge you for it. At this point just turn multiplayer off and save us all the trouble.

  • AnthropicDualiT Citizen_of_the_Verse (@AnthropicDualiT) reported

    @Acepokeboy @BT_BlackThunder Jak and dexter, crash bandicoot are in there ... For starters, Battletoads is a NINTENDO IP game, Doom is a PC game, skyrim, also Multiplat, there are probably like 4 games in there that are Xbox exclusive and they were average at best and Halo was stolen from the PC.

    @Ashram77 Last year I purchased a Nintendo switch for my sons bday and it was just left at my door, no knock nothing. Luckily not on the street front. It's no wonder there's demand. Delivery has gone up and customer service has gone down. 😔

  • YoBlockTheater Grey Knight 🆖 🔜 Team Scissors ✂ (@YoBlockTheater) reported

    apparently the original flash version of isaac was gonna be on the 3ds but nintendo thought the super religous themes were a problem LMAO ironic considering that rebirth has been on 3ds for 6 years now

  • SoldierDelta SoldierDelta (@SoldierDelta) reported

    @DGpapabear @VirusVyra You point really... doesn't. There was no warping, or any warping from Nintendo's intention. Much less a change from Intelligent Systems, Tecmo Koei, Monolith Soft and Nintendo EPD. They made their characters that people like to see and can relate to. There's no problem with that

  • JarVegemite Toad (Parody) (@JarVegemite) reported

    @FallGuysGame Shame I can’t join my friends because of the Nintendo switch error

  • AdamPugh Adam Pugh  (@AdamPugh) reported

    Absolutely LOL at @NintendoUK for trying to charge me more to fix Ezra’s Switch that I bought him for Christmas than I paid for it in the first place.

  • iloveyoulaflare ⁺ ⁺⌖™ La❦Flare 𝓈𝒶𝓃 ® (@iloveyoulaflare) reported

    mfers switch up like nintendo talmbout sum "ayo BH really carried.. it's not all that bad" 😭 "it has it's issues"

  • monfucking azuill has arcane brainrot (@monfucking) reported

    @Kotaku Really worried about the reading comprehension of people dismissing this and an Aerotek problem and not a Nintendo problem

  • pinkfawns 🌺ellie🌺@ SPLOON 3 SOON (@pinkfawns) reported

    This is non issue but I just think it’s funny that every year for Christmas or my birthday my family asks what I want and I say Nintendo gift cards and they get me literally anything else. Fiancé says same thing and walks away w/ $500 in Nintendo cards

  • Eevonn4 Eevonn (@Eevonn4) reported

    @NintendoAmerica #MK8D wasn’t the last Mario kart update supposed to fix assisted steering? But it seems like I’m getting stuck on turns more that ever when using it. It’s like when I release from a drift it has to hold the wheel in that direction for a good 5 seconds.

  • cake389 Ivy (@cake389) reported

    @Mo_MMUU @Elias_Mizuki @NintendoAmericr Nintendo does and has been they’ve never had representation issues (compared to the general games) they just preferred to imply instead of out right say bc of laws of many countries

  • enderscow f: noah 🎗️ (@enderscow) reported

    HELP I FOUND MY NINTENDO DS LITE THAT I NEVER PLAYED COS I THOUGHT IT WAS BROKEN

  • Psi_Agent McBooty Nun (@Psi_Agent) reported

    @vgmobster Well isn't the Nintendo switch more powerful then the Wii U so it should run fine on switch with no problems hopefully then if they do bring it the switch.

  • KeyToAeris KeyToAeris (@KeyToAeris) reported

    @NintendoAmerica This game should’ve been free to play it’s a fall guys live service type game.

  • oak_updates_msm Monster World Updates Bot (@oak_updates_msm) reported

    Due to some issues, Nintendo now owns the rights to Entbrat

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • Mo_MMUU MMUU (@Mo_MMUU) reported

    @cake389 @Elias_Mizuki @NintendoAmericr while i hope that's the case, it might just be a translation error... nintendo doesnt do stuff like this

  • KalajahMithos Kyle Hyde (@KalajahMithos) reported

    @replicant2097 @KirkRooster @Shpeshal_Nick Because they speaking like it's fact and there's official gen list. There isn't. So don't correct someone that lists switch with gen 8. Switch cna be both gen 8 and 9. Sooner or later nintendo systems will be lagging behind in gens anyway. Just use common sense.

  • Christa30298999 Christa Williams (@Christa30298999) reported

    @FortniteStatus Nintendo switch users cannot get into battlelab. Can you please look into this issue!

  • TravisHymas Italian Elon Musk (@TravisHymas) reported

    The reports of harassment coming out of Nintendo of America are harrowing and are clearly not just an issue with contractors. I wish them a very The NLRB investigations go horribly for them.

  • Phoenic86829590 Phoenician (@Phoenic86829590) reported

    @Greward3 How is this horrible press for them? It’s not affecting sales of anything and it’s not that big of a story where people outside the community will hear about it. Nintendo has no reason to care that Steve might be broken

  • Zakiyyah6 ZAK (@Zakiyyah6) reported

    @cakeylaura That's the problem with not building your own engine. Nintendo builds their on engines for mainline platformer games and that's why their games don't have these little quirky issues. Building your own engine is very expensive so I'm not expecting that but just mentioning that.

  • pale_wonder Pale Wonder (@pale_wonder) reported

    @Kaoticleigh Time to send to Nintendo for them to fix for free.

  • GamingKanekii KanekiiGaming (@GamingKanekii) reported

    @alan_nplays @NintendoAmerica Sounds like a Skill issue to me Kappa
