Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LgndaryHeroLink 3DS-Botschafter (@LgndaryHeroLink) reported

    @hoazhee Yes, they said on their official Discord that there is an issue and they are in contact with Nintendo to fix it asap. Until then, Paladins won't work on Nintendo Switch.

  • ThisIsZak69 Zakary Trumbley (@ThisIsZak69) reported

    @mama_dusa @KevSimmer @Kotaku Unfortunately batteries lose their charge over time this isn't a Nintendo problem it's a battery problem and if they were too use way better batteries the consoles price would rise higher than it's already rediculous price

  • ThomasEmmerson2 Thomas Emmerson (@ThomasEmmerson2) reported

    @MorbidsDisaster @ArkLifeNews @ComplexMinded I know they've patched the game. They did try to fix some things, but there are bugs in the game from when it was beta. At least it's not an exaggeration to say that they never tried with the Nintendo Switch. LOL, that had 1 update period.

  • My_Echo4 Echo (@My_Echo4) reported

    @LucarioOcarina It's fine if he thought it was cringy but saying that it's Nintendo to go back to a style of commercial aimed towards kids when this is the only time sounds kinda petty. Like it's just his wording he needs to fix.

  • ThomasEmmerson2 Thomas Emmerson (@ThomasEmmerson2) reported

    @ArkLifeNews @MorbidsDisaster @ComplexMinded Maybe cedric can explain to us when the Nintendo Switch version will be updated. He's obviously seen these tweets. What about the update for the ps5 that was supposed to be done in december? Will wildcard ever fix the ferox for that poor guy?

  • lemonghosts_ momo⁹⁹ ☆ (@lemonghosts_) reported

    @Madam_May0 LUCKYYY maybe I should get it for switch then ngl,, I'm just a little worried about Nintendo's online service rip 😔😔

  • orangeyeez 🍊 orange man guy but pikmin 🍊 (@orangeyeez) reported

    @aren_owo @chuuballoon @NintendoAmerica double jumps are broken as hell

  • SenoniThomaz Giancarlo Thomaz Senoni📽🎞🎥🖥📺🎮📱💻🎬 (@SenoniThomaz) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Nintendo please fix your online(is atrocious) and for Arceus sake add minigames for me and my friends to play in the game.

  • NAMCOnade Nam Lemonade 🥁🦌 @ AA4 (@NAMCOnade) reported

    @Nonintitlement criticism are good actually. if we didn't criticize nintendo they'd probably end up charging us like 100$ for their old games. i mean they already do (COUGH 100$cad 3d collection) but fr if you think criticizing a megacorporation is bad you need to start thinking abt real issues

  • ZachRush0 Zach (@ZachRush0) reported

    @NathanielBandy1 @NintendoAmerica Let me fix your sentence. “*** ******** ** ******* **** Luigi ** ***i***** **s the best character”

  • Wisecup0 wisecup 2.0 (@Wisecup0) reported

    @nintendofac @NintendoAmerica Your account is so unfunny it’s on the same level to a **** post subreddit. U say the same 3 things on loop like a broken *** record

  • DylanM1841 Dylan (@DylanM1841) reported

    Hey @GAMEHelps my Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons are having the usual “drifting” issues. I paid extra so if there was any problems I could get a new set. With shops being closed is it possible to get a new pair?Would love to get some new ones ASAP, it’s very hard to play at the moment.

  • casioclown StiniMeanie (@casioclown) reported

    @NintendoAmerica fix your shitty ******* garbage *** online service

  • vinegartissues Vin (@vinegartissues) reported

    @NinWire nice to hear nintendo is finally getting an online service

  • ProNerdy_ssbu ProNerdy (@ProNerdy_ssbu) reported

    @AzuriteMaybe @NintendoAmerica I've already played the game on Wii U, and the Bowser Fury stuff doesn't seem like enough new content for me to pick it up. I would only really pick it up if I could play online with friends with little to no lag

  • T_C_O_ Total (@T_C_O_) reported

    @midnightoccult @NintendoAmerica I get it, but they only said that theyd add events, tho, they are very slow at adding things theyve hinted at (AKA: Blathers), so I get what your saying in a way. Online, the only playable game is Splatoon 2, so I cant defend that, I just hope they fix it with the new servers.

  • vg_zeitgeist vg zeitgeist (@vg_zeitgeist) reported

    @bowtet @NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing It would be nice if Nintendo fans would stop letting them off the hook for all of these issues. The problem to the majority of them the Switch is their first Ninte do console so they don’t even know the quality of their games ACROSS THE BOARD used to be much higher. Oh well. :/

  • eJayR6 eJay 🗣 (@eJayR6) reported

    @mlr24_ @Rainbow6Game that's a nintendo/microsoft problem, i don't get why you're blaming ubi

  • EliNeitz Eli Neitz (@EliNeitz) reported

    @NintendoAmerica It not working in the slightest

  • Nonintitlement Anti-Nintendo Entitlement #NintendoFanUnion (@Nonintitlement) reported

    @KirbyIsDatBoi Arlo deserves only failure. He and other Nintendo YouTubers are one of the biggest problems plaguing the Nintendo fandom. There is no room for him. He should delete his Twitter and YouTube channels.

  • NostalgicN1nja Nostalgic Ninja 🎮🥷 (@NostalgicN1nja) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Peach cause she broken in that game lmao

  • yelhsawo Ashley (@yelhsawo) reported

    @marage101 @chrissyteigen If you have a decent place to put the console and dock, the only thing you might need to fix (Nintendo was doing this for free pre-covid) is buying a new set in case it breaks. The controllers are small enough for kids and there’s more kid friendly stuff.

  • Nuttyinks Steven (@Nuttyinks) reported

    Currently checked with my Nintendo Power collection, I own 188 issues out of 285! I'm less than 100 away!!

  • SacredBlader Sacred (@SacredBlader) reported

    @animalcrossing My villagers say like the literal same 2 things everytime I talk to them, this is a cry for help Nintendo, please I'm big fan, fix your villagers I don't need Raymond to keep on talking about his screams in the basement

  • jewaosinho Joãosinho (@jewaosinho) reported

    Nintendo’s customer service is top tier, unlike Walmart’s

  • ForesightSsb Relief |👁 Foresight 👁 (@ForesightSsb) reported

    Why can 30 guys w **** wifi play cod no problem but 2 people w wired connection can still have lag in smash @NintendoAmerica

  • KSmasher49 Ash_Resurrects_Alone (@KSmasher49) reported

    @Nonintitlement @KirbyIsDatBoi I KNOW RIGHT?! we need to fix this **** and fast, if we don't then Nintendo will stink deep into some **** that is completely unnecessary

  • _JoeSway Joshua Cummings (@_JoeSway) reported

    Why does Nintendo’s customer service number not have NINTENDO music as their hold music? Big missed opportunity 0/10 stars

  • JakeWake52 Jakewake V2.0 (@JakeWake52) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Does the popularity of Luigi not indicate more should be done with him over Mario? What about peach? Why must DK be the only character that has fully broken free of Marino’s shadow- even Wario representation is down this generation! Tis’ a shame

  • johnben3294 johnben3294 (@johnben3294) reported

    @Cringecastgay @NintendoAmerica I mean they don’t just go play on a different system. They are still emotionally attached to a company and act like they are in a broken relationship with them.
