Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Cryogenicyuki Bryan Calderon (@Cryogenicyuki) reported

    @AndreaBogazzi @emoralesramos @ModernVintageG It’s also unreasonable to say legacy games should be behind a paywall when for some reason Nintendo takes issue with emulation, but emulates some of their rereleases like Super Mario 3D All Stars

  • moksee08 moxe (@moksee08) reported

    @SNick_WT idc, go pop a vessel over this, be an extra hater if you got nothing better to do, or make some head canon about how this guy thinks he's gonna be the next big nintendo dev, if y'all are that bitter it's honestly your own problem lol

  • VoidVtuber VoidVTuber, Evil Void Goddess #ENVtuber (@VoidVtuber) reported

    So I need nintendo online to enjoy the demo of splatoon 3.... the problem is it expired a week ago...

  • ChangelingN ChangelingNeon (@ChangelingN) reported

    I will be starting a petition to bring back the octolings hip sway in Splatoon 3. Nintendo better fix this because I am VERY UPSET (please share this NEEDS traction!!) #Splatoon2 #splatoon3demo

  • BlindOS_22 💾BlindOS💎💻 (@BlindOS_22) reported

    @Poofesure Is this a licensed acessory by Nintendo, meaning This controller can be used without problems?

  • CyrilBrulebois Cyril Brulebois (@CyrilBrulebois) reported

    Alright, the Nintendo eShop is a complete shitshow… JS errors, 404 errors, failure to keep me logged in after a few clicks/seconds, and apparently no way to buy several things at once?

  • Parappafan94 ChazizGRKB (@Parappafan94) reported

    @rjbeasterw98 @Nintendo that's a display problem, not a nintendo problem.

  • RealLokiScarlet Loki Scarlet (@RealLokiScarlet) reported

    @whisperwoIf There's really nothing to do with Sonic in this game. Even the complexity of the controls screams "We're copying Nintendo again" Also, "Your argument is invalid" is a meme. Thought that was clear. Anyway, problem is they're doing something SO different it's not even recognizable.

  • JOONlECORE mimi⁷ ✘ (@JOONlECORE) reported

    My nephew’s Nintendo switch is broken so guess what I have to do

  • VirusCat_ VirusCat 🐈‍⬛ (@VirusCat_) reported

    @ArtsyAegis nintendo's online service is also by far the worst you really don't want to pay for something that barely works

  • HerbSoda93 Herbsoda (@HerbSoda93) reported

    @jakejameslugo Tbf that's the intended control scheme for the game (it works really well) nintendo are not really guna take that into consideration when their controllers all have those features as default, its only really 3rd party controllers this causes issues with and the solutions in menu.

  • kole_mp9 kole (@kole_mp9) reported

    @DieselBusters @NintendoAmerica You are now officially redeemed retarded due to saying the game is dead Despite not being out yet,in order to fix your brain you must 1. think before replaying 2.stop being a dumbass 3.Stop begging Nintendo to do things that are not possible right now.

  • Kyl0Z3n 🏴‍☠️ Kyl⭕ZΞn 🏴‍☠️ (@Kyl0Z3n) reported

    @FortniteGame @EpicGames how the heck do I logout of an account on the Nintendo switch to sign in with my kid's epic account? This really should be easier. Any time I logout on the switch it logs him right back in.

    nintendo wii broken

  • giovan_h gio :⁾ (@giovan_h) reported

    @noirscape_ It's a deliberate refusal to be honest about how usership and services and files work. There are obvious, correct design choices that could be made to fix these problems and therefore /hurt fewer children/, but it would require Nintendo to posture less aggressively, so they won't

    @Luis13003pr It is unfair! And very frustrating! I wished the servers were still great even after years since its release but when Nintendo moves on to the next game, it means they won’t work on the old one anymore so if the servers get issues, it has issues unfortunately. I just hate it.

  • s_rainan Nanduck55 (@s_rainan) reported

    @Pokeboy890 @NintendoAmerica They can't fix idiots but they can fix the separation between solos from 5 stacks

  • goldie_chance +goldie 🍯 (@goldie_chance) reported

    @PoodleShadow You do if you want to play the turf wars! You gotta get the Nintendo online service they have, but it’s pretty cheap, $20 a year

  • ArtsyAegis Aegis (@ArtsyAegis) reported

    I didn’t really have an issue with it, until Nintendo implemented their Online after releasing the Switch without it. And that pissed me off

  • BriceNicholXIII NakoTheDrakon (@BriceNicholXIII) reported

    @rubenomarchave3 @VGC_News AAAAND therein Lies my problem with Nintendo fans. Any time someone voices irritation at Nintendo it's seen as "HURR DURR CRYING" When it... really isn't.

  • CGCentralHD98 CGCentral (@CGCentralHD98) reported

    @Justin87532027 @hard8_times It's a stupid no one complained about not being able to use ps3 controller on ps4, or whatever nintendo do it's suddenly an issue that's exactly wjat fake outrage is

  • ChaoticMeatball bc | ChaoticMeatball (@ChaoticMeatball) reported

    @ThorgisArcade Imagine trying to play it on Nintendo 64! Nah honestly I think this problem is better resolved with the PSP version that never made it stateside, I'd suggest trying that out if you're wanting something a bit better (but you'd have to get an English patch for it)

  • GhostGuy110 Juicy Boi (@GhostGuy110) reported

    @Crow15851957 @MldGhost @DestinLegarie Nintendo don't have a problem making switches and Xbox is a larger company than Sony.

    @NintendoAmerica my controller (that i recieved broken by the way thanks nintendo) keeps giving me the "amiibo unavailable because **** you" popup and it doesn't go away when im in handheld mode so i cant go into the customization menu

  • NightTerror1986 Chris (@NightTerror1986) reported

    @NintendoAmerica out of curiosity, could someone help me with my switch? I'm having issues with connecting to the internet and I've tried everything multiple times and nothing works. Right now I can't do anything with it so it's pretty much a paperweight.
