Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • miglehu Mike Huggard (@miglehu) reported

    @dungeonsgame would be so much better if it didn’t crash so often. Also, maybe they shouldn’t market it as 4 players on Nintendo switch since it is significantly more unstable with 3-4 players. @NintendoAmerica

  • hr_farmer_osu HR Farmer (@hr_farmer_osu) reported

    Nintendo Switch Online don't disconnect me from splatoon match challenge FAILED

  • CoreyTheGamer01 🍀 Corey 🍀 (@CoreyTheGamer01) reported

    @photoedfade @DelgadoEbin @nintendofac The controller isn't that bad, And Crash is fun. This is coming from a die hard Nintendo fan. The community makes it embarrassing to love Nintendo, But I still do.

  • Jiikae Jiikae (@Jiikae) reported

    @bigboysharun You are spot on. And honestly, there is nothing wrong with only liking one or two Nintendo franchises The issue is that people aren’t honest with themselves and want to pretend they are “fans” just so they can feel like their expectations are reasonable lol.

  • kkeymann kkeymann (@kkeymann) reported

    @TH3M4NR0CK5 @alehalexxx_nsfw Unfortunately, I think it would be wise to avoid all things Nintendo. Lotta artists having problems from doing Nintendo related art

  • RizalAziz_ ✨Rizal✨ (@RizalAziz_) reported

    I get it that the demand is high for limited stock + chips shortage issue. Just like last year with Nintendo Switch, double the price but not even a year the price is back to normal now.

  • kk_lockwood Kayla Lockwood (@kk_lockwood) reported

    @danidonovan Switched phones and lost the 2 factor authentication my Nintendo account was connected to. Spent 30 minutes melting down and trying to circumvent it on the Switch until I cooled down. Customer Service fixed in less than 2 minutes. It's cool. I'm cool we're cool.

  • vovagusse hyperspeed (@vovagusse) reported

    @_internal_error 1) they do have an error screen. Fancy but still 2) i dont care about even past-gen cuz i have a ps3 with free multiplayer, good games and a motion controller for sertain games that require it 3) i have a Nintendo Switch and i dont care about graphics, I care about gameplay

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • bowsermode1 Itay Baba (@bowsermode1) reported

    @jjgamerboii @CIsarchomp @NintendoAmerica The only problem with it is the people that had high expectations

  • hats_happy Clever Pun Name (@hats_happy) reported

    @CrashBandicoot looking forward to Crash 4 on Nintendo Switch! But can not find a Physical copy on pre-order on my usual sites, is the UK getting digital only or is something amiss?

  • llSnoopll Lane Gooble (@llSnoopll) reported

    Please someone at Nintendo wake the hell up and fix your ******* online

  • DarkEnigma46 That One Dude (@DarkEnigma46) reported

    Me: HI, I'm wondering if you guys have Grey Nintendo Switch Controllers in stock Gamestop Girl: It shows that I received a shipment of them, but ill call you back when I find them Me: alright, no problem *That moment even the Gamestop girl doesn't call you back* 🙄🙄

  • Joshagotchi Joshagotchi (@Joshagotchi) reported

    @AmazonHelp Almost 8 hours since I ordered $55 of @NintendoAmerica e-gift cards on your site. Stuck in “verification pending”. I have bought items totaling much more than this on your site before. Why is this a thing and why do your reps lie about the reason? Fix this now.

  • Eriasu15 Eriasu (@Eriasu15) reported

    @PauluigiSSB @Speend10 @elliotduby Yeah but major difference is they are owned by Nintendo. With crash their hands would be tied on what they could develop without getting express permission. Just look at sonic for an example. They’ve had over 12 years to fix his moveset from just spindashbut never did.

  • ShobuBlaze Brendon (@ShobuBlaze) reported

    @Malindachan @NintendoAmerica Yeah, Nintendo does free joycon repairs regardless of when you got them due to so many people having drift issues

  • sarahboo1202 Sarah 💜 (@sarahboo1202) reported

    @Fiopup_Games There’s a way to contact Nintendo to get new joycons. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous they haven’t fixed this issue. In my opinion, I recommend buying a wireless controller that will work cause that’s what I use and it cheaper than new joycons, plus I haven’t had any issues

  • TVividx TwistedVividx (@TVividx) reported

    @ExpandDong15 OPERATED BY THE LORD AND MY NINTENDO REWARD FOR THIS YEAR IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR ME AND MY PINK EYE

  • architdate thecommondude (@architdate) reported

    @AustinJohnPlays You still gotta login to the eshop website on ur phone browser. Playstation is able to do it properly via a native app or on desktop through the playstation store website. Still long way for nintendo to go, but these are steps in the right direction.

  • gustken GustKen | Youmu best girl 👻💚⚔️ (@gustken) reported

    @NintendoAmerica And holy moly, Anna is a really broken unit. I just hope she won’t be nerfed because of that.

  • Jason83995627 Jason (@Jason83995627) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Respawn @PlayApex Will I be able to login with my profile from PS4?

  • AfricanIsDaddy Shane White (@AfricanIsDaddy) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Respawn @PlayApex Fix octains ******* jump pad with this silent landing bullshit I’m tired of dying by the ******* bots using this **** with no sound the **** is rediculous. People literally land right beside you and you won’t know it because the **** is silent. The **** is frustrating asf

  • Thr33li Threeli (@Thr33li) reported

    @WormJazz unless I’ve missed an announcement somewhere, the level “Twisted Logic” (F-15) on the Nintendo Switch cannot be completed with all stars. I love the game, excellent work. I’ll play around the problem. I just felt you should know!

  • CrashTiseYT Lewy (Crash Tise) (@CrashTiseYT) reported

    @Minecraft Update console edition on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch plzzzzzzzzz Bedrock be so bad on consoles going skkkkkkrrrrrrrr and CRASH! Such buggy game just update console edition again! #UpdatesForLegacyEdition

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 14 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • matrix_marshall CaveMan💙ΔOX​❑ (@matrix_marshall) reported

    @FarmFruits @UFCxPlayStation And again to make it clear.. I am not saying that everyone was having problems with their controller.. Like not everyone is having problems with their ps5 and DualSense.. And both companies specially Nintendo should work on it

  • kabukani ぷっち (@kabukani) reported

    We think that Olive Town is the "afterlife" and we are interfering with it through our Nintendo Switch, which is why we encounter so many problems. I'm sure that's why we don't have a repertoire of conversations with the inhabitants. I'll wait for the mid-March update

  • samhammed2 samhammed (@samhammed2) reported

    @richhzzz @NintendoAmerica fix the lunches 🤞🏼

  • palecycle Brinney (@palecycle) reported

    Does anyone else have a problem with their right Nintendo Switch controller just...randomly stop and start working ??? I’m getting so annoying . It’s charged and synced. In the middle of the game it’ll just stop working but never turn off just not do the thing???

  • Ian_ergege linya ✨ (@Ian_ergege) reported

    the switch pro controller is such a diva. one day it's like "I'm gonna give you the smoothest gaming experience of your life" and the other day it's "I'm gonna crash your game and act up" and the next day "I'm not even gonna respond". nintendo what's up with this
