Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

    I find it funny how gamers complain about greedy companies like ea, blizzard, Nintendo etc. But as soon as you bring capitalism as a problem and communism as a solution some of them have disgust for that, just find it very funny

  • HapyWanderer Mongunzoo (@HapyWanderer) reported

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3 came out this year. The problem is not the Switch Hardware. The problem is that Nintendo and Game Freak have no incentive to optimize Pokémon Scarlet and Violet when it will sell 20 million copies to it's captured audience whether they do not not.

    @GameHistoryOrg I seem to have thought you were talking about a "Nintendo Power Directory", a guide to which NP issues had information on what games (reviews, cheats, etc.) I had one of those as a kid which. But I think that's something different.

  • EDROXinc Edrox interactive (@EDROXinc) reported

    @TheBocop @dark1x the problem they share the ip which doesn't make nintendo able to play the role of the boss

  • HomieShutter Shutter (@HomieShutter) reported

    @San_Diego_Man @FortniteStatus That is not a problem with your Nintendo switch. That has to do with your internet connection.

  • itLessThanThree LessThanThree (@itLessThanThree) reported

    one of the most frustrating issues with nintendo discourse is people who clearly do not venture much outside the nintendo bubble (but pretend to) not that its the only issue but I sincerely doubt 90% of the people comparing smt v to sv's performance played it from what I read

  • PoxPopuli2 PoxPopuli (@PoxPopuli2) reported

    @Sencim_Youja @Win98Tech At the end of the day, there's plenty of studios/devs who'd work with Game Freak on a Pokemon game, it's on them and TPC for not contracting more out (Nintendo proper does it all the time, so I assume they're not the problem here)

  • Lockehart2 Lockehart (@Lockehart2) reported

    @J_Kulcha77 @Gothalion The hardware definitely holds development back for sure for every nintendo-based development team. But short development time for things even made for super computers is begging for trouble. It's not the problem but it definitely isn't helping.

  • XDdotEXE XDdotExE (@XDdotEXE) reported

    @Cherrim Never thought I'd see the day @NintendoUK would stoop down to the level of every AAA developer and release a buggy, broken, unfinished game, such a shame 😔

  • monsters2312 monsters2312 (@monsters2312) reported

    @wunguscrill Just feels like for a franchise that big they should be given more time to bake their games cause I feel like the issues are probably caused by nintendo forcing them to put out the game sooner

  • ElysaraVT Lizzy🐉Streaming Dragon🐉 (@ElysaraVT) reported

    @BGG_Twitch Game Freak has two big problems One of them is that they are legendary terrible programmers, they had Nintendo bail them out when both gen 1 and gen 2 were too big to fit on the GB cart...

  • ZRVGaming Tristan Cooke (@ZRVGaming) reported

    @VisionaryVysus Which Platinum game we talking? Because last I checked, Bayo 3 has some decent performance hiccups. I'm not saying that hardware is the only problem, but when basically NONE of Nintendo's ambitious first party titles run as stable as you'd expect, it's hard to argue against it.

  • shroudshroom rex (@shroudshroom) reported

    i think most problems in my life would be solved if i had a nintendo switch

  • Salt_God_Game gameipedia Book VTuber (@Salt_God_Game) reported

    So due to my card apparently just not working, I dont have Pokemon prebought, and currently cant buy it, so no pokemon tomorrow, because nintendo is garbage I guess?

  • FuzzySlippersYT Fuzzy Slippers (@FuzzySlippersYT) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia You could hand Gamefreak a PS5 and Pokémon games would still come out with issues. At this point I'd say it's time to hand it to another studio under Nintendo, course with the sales they always make, there's no real incentive for them to.
