Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DrRichie14 Dr. Richie (@DrRichie14) reported

    @SuperNGuy If the Switch is going to last a little longer, then I hope Nintendo adds a massive update to the game, whether it be free or paid DLC. I would save a sequel for their next console and just bring back the Party Crash events plus the expansion.

  • Mechrotrap Jonathan (@Mechrotrap) reported

    @SirNookington @SmugDaBeast Only improved battery life. Nintendo refused to fix the joycon issues

  • doodliver ✨ɹǝʌᴉๅpooꓷ ~Commissions and Kofimissions closed~ (@doodliver) reported

    @NintendoAmerica *Prays for Spyro, Crash or Rayman*

  • ohohrobinho ohohrobiño (@ohohrobinho) reported

    Hey @YouTube, when Nintendo posts an upcoming video, they are not displayed in my subscriptions view. I've already unsubbed and resubbed, but that doesn't work. Other channels work just fine, but Nintendo's account seems broken to me.

  • SkyeLentNight Blackwatch Booty ❤️🖤☠️ (@SkyeLentNight) reported

    On the note of Nintendo Direct and possible smash reveal I will still laugh if Tracer made it in. But I also vouch for Amaterasu and Crash to make it in.

  • jamiestelling One Crazy Guy (@jamiestelling) reported

    @A3gizz @3dsiso @NintendoAmerica It isn't broken.... So funny how like 2 people can tell

  • Russell_Senpai Russell (@Russell_Senpai) reported

    Unicorn: Rollback Rollback is never gonna be added so long as casuals don't see it as a necessity. Even if it was add it wouldn't actually do anything to mitigate a bad wifi connection. Nintendo can only do so much when the problem is coming from the players end, not theirs.

  • RainPumpkin7266 RainPumpkin7266 (@RainPumpkin7266) reported

    @HMKilla @NintyPrime is there any problem in terms of DMCA for streaming the Nintendo Direct? Does the VoD need to be deleted after?

  • tstorm004 tom storm .exe (@tstorm004) reported

    @ndnprct3 @PoorlyAgedStuff The problem though - is that by the time these things actually came out - Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo had all finally revised their terms and made it possible for smaller developers to self publish titles. I think if the Ouya had come a bit earlier it could have been a success.

  • TannerOfDaNorth Today's Drip for the Emiya Family (@TannerOfDaNorth) reported

    @Doctor_Cupcakes They're gonna announce every Gamecube game is coming to Nintendo Switch for free and also Melee HD is there and it has zero input lag and online Trust me my dad works at GameLoft

  • realDocProc Dr. Proctor (@realDocProc) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Gotta say I’m feelin’ Hayabusa. I want Crash, or maybe a weird character no one has predicted, but I’m feeling Ryu Hayabusa

  • herntwt hern (@herntwt) reported

    Holy **** nintendo direct tomorrow, realistically I'm thinking they're gonna anounce crash for smash, more botw2 details and maybe a new game announcement

  • Hogge87 Jakob Holgersson (@Hogge87) reported

    @PcElitist___ @KagatoFordragon @NintendoAmerica Bullshit statement. Been using controllers for 25 years and the only one I've had drift issues with was a Gamecube controller. And obviously mouse and keyboard don't drift, but saying that there are no issues with them is just childish.

  • SEGAGodToppo 𝕊𝔼𝔾𝔸𝔾𝕠𝕕 𝕋𝕠𝕡𝕡𝕠 🎮 SM3DW + Bowser's Fury (@SEGAGodToppo) reported

    @timely_u Tbh I enjoy playing Crash, but it's not gonna be him. Nintendo better be smart picking Characters that are not Most Requested & Overrated.

  • MythrilFox MythrilFox (@MythrilFox) reported

    Nintendo Direct to come soon, with talk of Smash Bros stuff =o While people are predicting the next revealed character, I just want them to fix their net code so the game is more playable online again. If they at least make mention they're working on it, I'll be happy.

  • Bad_Dps Little Dante - 🍕👀 (@Bad_Dps) reported

    @SertifiedSlav Ppl are saying crash but tbh, remembering that they are now under Activision blizzards wing and that nintendo were not pleased with their ow release on switch They may have been hung out to dry 🤔

  • exitbagger Timotei (@exitbagger) reported

    I'm so psyched for Nintendo Direct. 15 minutes on the Mario theme park. Crash and Spyro as new DLC fighters. More Wii U ports for Switch. Braid 2 as a timed exclusive. The smell of burning hair and plastic.

  • MrDream923 Mr. Dream923 (@MrDream923) reported

    Holy crap a Nintendo Direct finally happened after all this time and we a getting a new character reveal. Alright time to see what I'll be getting as a gift later on. As for the Smash character, like I always say, don't allow it to be a character I think will be broken.

  • ArbiterBrave John 'Brave' David 🐯 || Black Lives Matter (@ArbiterBrave) reported

    Nintendo Direct announcement drops Me: I'm just glad to see news of any kind happening after like a year! Internet: MARIO KART 9 METROID PRIME COLLECTION CRASH IN SMASH ZELDA ANYTHING LETS GET UNREALISTICALLY HYPED AND THEN CALL THE DIRECT TRASH IF WE DON'T GET WHAT WE WANT!!!!

  • sorrenmos Sorrenmos (@sorrenmos) reported

    Have any of you streaming types had trouble capturing video form Nintendo Switch? My Razer Ripsaw seems to be having an allergic reaction

  • TheCodeofHeart Nyan-binary (@TheCodeofHeart) reported

    The amount of times Nintendo has given me temporary bans from playing Smash Ultimate because they blame ME for other peoples connection errors is honestly impressive.

  • ifunnymemys Professional Funny Man (@ifunnymemys) reported

    @Dr_Scaphandre @NintendoAmerica Sounds like a personal problem

  • OldCyber_613 Cyber (@OldCyber_613) reported

    @3dsiso @NintendoAmerica Another Broken Switch meme? Hahaha how original

  • RXNacho Nachio (@RXNacho) reported

    @NintendoES Crash en smash 🤔

  • MrEHimself Mr.EHimself (@MrEHimself) reported

    Things that won't happen: A game who's main character is Walugi Crash bandicoot Doom An apology for anything other than "it's been too long" or "covid made making this hard" New Nintendo ip that is not multiplayer Mention of a mario sports game (unless you count racing)

  • coolness0228 Coolness0228 (@coolness0228) reported

    I'll be surprised if min min doesn't get a patch fix or something. Japan has been bitching a lot about min min and nintendo likes to work around Japan's problems lol

  • doesntkillyo Doesntkillya (@doesntkillyo) reported

    @p3nn_ @NintendoAmerica I think TF2 content won’t be added until they get rid of the botting problems plaguing the official servers. Devs first play the game before developing it, with the botting problem they sure be discouraged from doing so.

  • Macaluso Macaluso (@Macaluso) reported

    My three biggest wants for the Nintendo direct are: Crash in Smash, Mario x Rabbids 2, and DKCR3. I'm going to pretend all that stuff about Retro not working on it is a lie.

  • NUCNWolf Wolf (@NUCNWolf) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Doom Guy or Crash?

  • Sora_Oxide Oxide Robotnik (@Sora_Oxide) reported

    @afunkyrat Either Crash or Eggman in Smash, BOTW 2 news and possibly a new Kirby announcement? To be honest, Nintendo is pretty much unpredictable now so anything can happen
