Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MercuryCrusader MercuryC (@MercuryCrusader) reported

    @gamespite Now that I think on it further, 1983 would've been Nintendo facing possibly harsher anti-Japanese sentiments and the console bombing whether the Video Game Crash or the existence of like a million other consoles of that time happened or not.

  • KonKitten Kathleen Rosetail (@KonKitten) reported

    @SabreMc That's only because because Nintendo, I have honestly tried to enjoy it the few times I've played it, but I'd honesty take crash or RR over anything mario any day.

  • IDontLikeBirdz Birds (@IDontLikeBirdz) reported

    @semifreqsonic @mamaluigi811 You don't gotta be a speedrunner or someone who calls it a 'meme glitch' to be sad it's removed. It's a creative movement option that ADDED ways to play the game. Nintendo was lazy and used the version with rumble instead of putting in a tiny effort. How does it relate to Sonic?

  • fruitgamer02 J-Der (@fruitgamer02) reported

    @ErickADub It’s up to Nintendo’s higher ups to decide if it would be worth putting resources into such a game, as they own the IP not the developers The dev could probably do his best to get permission for it, but unauthorized development would probably spell trouble

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • VlareZirclo Vlare Zirclo (@VlareZirclo) reported

    @CodyChains I own all of them proudly! The Wii U was legitimately my first actual Nintendo console. (I would count my parents’ Gamecube but it was broken before I could even play it once so I don’t count it.)

  • SeySey19532812 SeySey (@SeySey19532812) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @thetruebowser I'm so tired of losing game after game because something so small as Joycon drift, when ******** are you going to permanently fix this issue

  • ADripOfMajima Geo (@ADripOfMajima) reported

    Nintendo games can let you glitch into the final boss fight without even getting a single star and Nintendo fans will say it’s not a glitch. Delusional.

  • LimitOfBot LimitOfBot (@LimitOfBot) reported

    Dragalia Lost looks All those stewie brian hybrids, no image can bring up for Nintendo Switch system" and then making tickets and filling out why are issues with that was the EA suit hoping the building's company about their units weapons?

  • David68937 Certified Bruh Moment (@David68937) reported

    @MRK_M7D @CodyChains Tbh tbh the only Nintendo console I’ve broken muiltiple times was the DS

  • Flatopia Mech Pilot: FL4T (@Flatopia) reported

    @Hoomblesz Homies saying blj is not a glitch its just an accident in the coding because nintendo cant do wrong

  • BubblezFTW Bubble (@BubblezFTW) reported

    @z3raphim @Optimus_Code I see psnow as just some sort of a checklist service, point is when(or if) Microsoft makes it super successful Sony will hop on, and so will Nintendo Till then Sony keeps going from success to success on the back of their exclusive games, they won’t bother.....for now

  • thelifeofmixie anna 🐉 (@thelifeofmixie) reported

    I’m glad @Nintendo has Crash Bandicoot for the switch. But can we get Twisted Metal too???

  • AshtreyGaming Ashtrey Gaming 🗯 (@AshtreyGaming) reported

    @HazzadorGamin I’m not gonna bother picking up a PS5 until either a pro version comes out or they fix this one, either way. I’ll keep playing on my PS4, Nintendo Switch and my Xbox Series X.

  • Prangaerie chelsea ? (@Prangaerie) reported

    ANOTHER COMMUNICATION ERROR. @ NINTENDO GET SERVERS INSTEAD SO THIS **** DOESN’T HAPPEN AAAA

  • boi_clod felix.universe_clod2007 (@boi_clod) reported

    So idk if anyone experienced this in 3D Allstars but when i play galaxy it starts when mario wakes up on the planet then i play a bit then i save the game but if i play it again it starts when mario is sleeping then wakes up so @NintendoAmerica please fix this bug

  • docpony07 Uncle Griever #HokagoIdolClub (@docpony07) reported

    @ducklysouls34 @BoxDone Believe me i dont want xbox to disappear because PS needs competition. I dont want them winning either because i dont want the market leader turning the game industry into a games as a service. Good thing PS and nintendo is in the lead

  • Ozma_Falcon Ozma (@Ozma_Falcon) reported

    @HotsyTotsyWI @Phant0mAbat Used to it, and don’t get me started on the **** quality control/issues on Nintendo’s first party controllers

  • AlexHawkinsDrew Alex Hawkins-Drew (@AlexHawkinsDrew) reported

    @NintendoUK my son ordered a digital download on the 30th December, still no sign of it and I have had one response to a message sent saying you are having trouble with sending out downloads but now follow up. Live chat is not working in your store. Please can we have an update?

  • sum1confused sum1confused (@sum1confused) reported

    @FinalStation_en any fix on the final Austin failing to start on the Nintendo switch in the works?

  • Mendinso Just Your Local Gay Bara Furry Supporting #BLM (@Mendinso) reported

    @puggalf @dark1x @DoesItPlay1 I remember people also telling me to not raise issues about Nintendo of America's comments about the lack of full physical controls for Galaxy, because likely has full physical controls and just misinformation. Well, guess what my disabled *** can't properly play? 🙃🙃🙃

  • yeahokblake blake rules (@yeahokblake) reported

    i used to think if i was rich i would do cool stuff with my money but now i think i would just do nerdy stuff. buy every super nintendo game and vinyl, neglect real world issues probably. wealth feels dystopian

  • ThyLunarPaladin the bab (@ThyLunarPaladin) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the lag problem plz

  • NebulaHurricane Nebula Devourer (@NebulaHurricane) reported

    @shadviio @PecPkmn its fine its hard to remember hal studios even being a thing beofre nintendo ate them. and yes its a shame they want games like Masters to thrive yet bash SwSh only cause its cut pokemon or had dlc. honestly i can admite the game has issues but thats every game at this point

  • KosmasPec Kosmas pec (@KosmasPec) reported

    @NintendoUK It's good deals but I want to buy something with the same credit card I buy one year now and it won't let me now. The credit card works everywhere it's not a card problem it's Nintendo eshop problem. Fix that.

  • khivegrandma #1 Tech N9ne Scholar On Genius (@khivegrandma) reported

    @ashleyc0re those mfs were $60 (40 without the nunchuck) and i never had to send it back to nintendo so they could fix it

  • Desperado_Dave Desperado Dave (@Desperado_Dave) reported

    @CrashforSmash5 @SpongeBandiMar1 @CrashBandicoot After all the bad crap Nintendo's been doing, nah. Better yet just make a crash fighting game.

  • elmaioneso ELMAIONESO (@elmaioneso) reported

    @TheJaDaHa @_gorgonzales_ @IntroSpecktive who cares? If people buy the **** mario 3d all star, do you think Nintendo will really have a problem selling emulators again?

  • Back_Seat_Gamer BackSeatGamer (@Back_Seat_Gamer) reported

    @ImagineTheEarth there would be no video games in north america by this point, since nintendo saved us after the video game market crash

  • JumboJayMK J (@JumboJayMK) reported

    @schmutz777 @Mevans2703 Crash deserves to be in the game and I'm sure Sakurai and the Crash creators are down but it was ultimately up to nintendo All dlc was final long ago
