Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Shaf_it Shaft (@Shaf_it) reported

    @NintendoAmerica so, same joy con drift problems then?

  • EdwardStockwell Edward Stockwell (@EdwardStockwell) reported

    Haven't fired up my Switch in a while but my absolutely broken brain demands I get the Nintendo Switch (OLED model).

  • Mimik_M3 Mimik (@Mimik_M3) reported

    I really think this new switch is nintendo's last chance to fix the joy con drift issue They've known how bad it is since the switch launched and this is the first official switch variation with joy cons so I'm.. really hoping, but idk

  • NuKE_M8_ NuKE (@NuKE_M8_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica did you fix the joycons?

  • McGamblor Gamblor (@McGamblor) reported

    Sorry to break character. "Wow, I'm glad Nintendo won't acknowledge a problem exists and that they had to change Tetris 99's default control options to be playable with a pro controller. Next I hope they bring back the Wii d-pad which could barely recognize diagonal inputs."

  • KiytoBlorp 🫐 Kiyto 🏳️‍⚧️ (@KiytoBlorp) reported

    @Squishy_Derg I definitely feel like nintendo had more planned but probably canned most of it due to supply issues? chip fab right now is screwed for the next few years

  • TKhaos TK (@TKhaos) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Did y'all fix the drift issue though?

  • piplushie Traci (@piplushie) reported

    @zimzalabitchs fans: "we want a switch pro! fix the joycon drift!" nintendo: "here's a more expensive switch with unnoticeable differences"

  • assadukhan assad ullah khan (@assadukhan) reported

    @NintendoEurope Did you fix your joycon issues, it is a disgrace that you do not acknowledge you messed up? My joycons still drift even after the official Nintendo UK repair .

  • CountCooki CountCooki (@CountCooki) reported

    @JacobKosco @NintendoAmerica Dkdkkdf same, Joycon drift is a problem for all models, even the Lite. I'm still waiting lmfao

  • ComradeCary Comrade Cary ☭ (@ComradeCary) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Did you get a chance to fix the joycon issue before making this or are you still half assing that by just sending out new joycons that haven't worn down yet?

  • Fawfulthgreat64 Jamey the Super Paper Fangirl (@Fawfulthgreat64) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I really hope the new Joy-cons fix drift once and for all.

  • MysticQuartzJ Quartz (@MysticQuartzJ) reported

    @YellowFlashGuy Hey if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. There’s no denying Nintendo owns the handheld market so tightly that other handhelds flop relatively quickly.

  • brouhawhaw ThunderJim! (@brouhawhaw) reported

    @SteCollins @Brainmage Nintendo's servers is the problem, not wifi

  • CPUNeptune Neptune (@CPUNeptune) reported

    @NintendoAmerica But did you fix the joycon issues?

  • XProFades Fade (@XProFades) reported

    @JohnLemon250 @YongYea ikr Nintendo are a bunch of greedy ******** i bet they didn't even fix joycon drift like with the Switch Lite

  • famicomplicated James Charlton (@famicomplicated) reported

    @GuillaumeNWR @SyrenneMcN In order for Nintendo fix the joy-con drift issue without compromising compatibility with older systems would require in-depth knowledge of the console, and that's just not something we can expect from Nintendo.

  • ThePatMann DeadAssPat (@ThePatMann) reported

    I honestly feel bad for Nintendo fans, they're basically battered housewives - hoping one day they can change him! "You don't see how good Nintendo is to me in private! One day his online service will be worth it! And his controllers won't come out-of-the-box with Drift!"

  • JordosBizarre Attack on Jordo 🦖 (@JordosBizarre) reported

    @NintendoAmerica If my joycons didn’t drift on the old console will the OLED fix that?

  • Wind1andSito S!to almost graduating 🧣 (@Wind1andSito) reported

    hey Nintendo what about the joycon drift issue

  • exetodnit 50 (@exetodnit) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Did you fix joycons drift tho

  • therealredster TrueRed (@therealredster) reported

    Problems: 1. The dock scratched the screen of my Nintendo Switch. 2. Most of my cartridges won’t work. 3 Joycons will drift or will not work at all. 4. Dogshit WiFi. i kinda like the 3ds more now

  • RealUltraFox RENNY. (@RealUltraFox) reported

    @Burgnut1 I think it’s pretty disappointing. The original Switch is already starting to lag behind on Nintendo’s own games even ****** can just barely play Hyrule Warriors

  • Mickybussey Michaela of Daisy Lane (@Mickybussey) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I just wanted to walk through my island without lagging every second Nintendo :(

  • Cruise84 𝕻𝖎𝖓𝖊𝖆𝖕𝖕𝖑𝖊 ℌ𝔬𝔱 𝔰𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔢 (@Cruise84) reported

    @MomosMnet @NintendoAmerica Nintendo was never about power to me, just the games. I think if other publishers are having trouble with their games run on switch that's upto the devs of those games and not upto Nintendo to up its hardware. Though it would be nice.

  • LadyTigerBomb Capri Sun Strawberry Cooler (@LadyTigerBomb) reported

    @_dhuggs I haven’t touched mine in 2 months. But I’m gonna keep it because it’s the Animal Crossing edition. But Nintendo really dropped the ball on their online service. No games. Would love GBA games.

  • Guitonius Guitonius (@Guitonius) reported

    @NintendoAmerica so.... did they fix the joycons? or do they still drift like crazy?

  • therealredster TrueRed (@therealredster) reported

    I’m experiencing problems on my Nintendo Switch. (Check thread for problems I have encountered.)

  • Gee_Bee_1 Grey-void (@Gee_Bee_1) reported

    With that being said, I'm not defending Nintendo. Having scalable graphic quality for different system specs has been something that's been around for PC for ages and Nintendo could use that to curb any problem in performance discrepancies.

  • Midge_Manycoats Midge (@Midge_Manycoats) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The screen wasn't the issue in the first place guys.
