Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • patricksienko_ Patrick Sienko (@patricksienko_) reported

    @IGN If Nintendo just ported their games, this wouldn't be an issue.

  • thenamesjer TheNamesJER (@thenamesjer) reported

    @Emblemmaniac Kind of, the service was still free but he offered an “unlimited downloads” option for a premium, not saying it’s not scummy, but to me it’s worse from Nintendo when they could easily just make their old games more easily accessible and no one would go to ROM websites.

  • Sackboybenji sackboybenji (@Sackboybenji) reported

    @Brelook @IGN if it was like a free service nintendo went for i think people would chock it up to greedy nintendo. but since it was priced i think Nintendo is in the right in this lawsuit

  • dudelongcouch free market capitalism does not and cannot exist (@dudelongcouch) reported

    @IGN Nintendo should only be allowed to sue ROM sites when they stop using them to find backups of their own goddamn games that they then upload to their service.

    @AndPogba @JoeMerrick Compared to what, exactly? Nintendo Online, a completely different service offering a completely different product? It's a warehouse! An online storage shed. Nothing more. Name a feature that you can add to that, and I might agree.

    @GrouchMan21 @Marcelos109 @SEGA The problem is, is that Nintendo hardware can't keep up due to them wanting to save costs for profits. Best you can hope is a Switch Pro to be at minimum standard. Or buy the system the game you want is on.

  • ElectroniK_Echo Electronik, CEO of DahLancer (@ElectroniK_Echo) reported

    @Aliacottoncandy @AlandreaRogers That's on Nintendo, it's to prevent a fatal error on Switch caused by the console being overwhelmed.

  • VividChim Kane Hocking (@VividChim) reported

    @mrpyo1 @IGN I think it's absolutely fair but I think Nintendo needs to take this continued problem as a message. They need to better preserve their history outside of just Mario and Zelda and could benefit from working WITH these sites to do it the right way. Instead of this.

  • adaliabooks Adam Cafolla (@adaliabooks) reported

    @VGC_News While I normally don't have too much of an issue with ROMs (if Nintendo won't sell them then they should be available somewhere), I absolutely don't agree with profiting from hosting or selling them. Also, what a ******* idiot.

  • AzurenGames 『Azuren』⭐ Rest in Peace, Miura (@AzurenGames) reported

    @nintendolife On one hand, Nintendo will go after and destroy beloved fan projects because they want the opportunity to mess it up themselves. On the other, this guy had a premium service that would increase how many of Nintendo's games you could illegally download.

  • TanookiKuribo Tanooki Joe™️ (@TanookiKuribo) reported

    @LanceHeart @Stealth40k That’s basically it. This guy had so many things against him. The first being he charged money for access. Second, once roms are rereleased on a current console, it basically justifies Nintendo’s loss of profit, even if they are on a paid online service.

  • its_ya_boi91 YaBoi (@its_ya_boi91) reported

    @tebhernandez @Kluuz @IGN The problem is Nintendo doesn't provide a convenient option to get old games. If they actually opened up a real marketplace for them, people wouldn't need to pirate. Imagine being able to play any old Nintendo game on the Switch, that would be amazing.

  • Emblemmaniac Mad Doc Isak, #BlackLivesMatter (@Emblemmaniac) reported

    @Stealth40k Before anyone go hurrdurr Nintendo. The owner had a "paid subscription service" getting paid for the roms pretty much
