Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 67 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • Yellowflower42 Cresso The Grey (@Yellowflower42) reported

    @queenkitdarling Most likely the deals with SEGA and Microsoft give them the majority of the profits for the new service. This would be impossible without charging extra for it. It isn't just about Nintendo. You think SEGA and Microsoft would be happy to release their games on another platform

  • Yellowflower42 Cresso The Grey (@Yellowflower42) reported

    @CrafterArmys Sony did not change the price after adding extra features because they realised $60 a year was not worth the online alone. They added features to make the service worth it. Nintendo however decided $20 a year is worth online alone. So new services cost extra.

  • JustDiogo Pikapika-2000 aka Pokémon & Zelda brainrot lol (@JustDiogo) reported

    @Harmony__Bunny There's no way Nintendo can please all fans, so the most consensual way is to go for characters that are popular like Kazuya from Tekken or Steve from Minecraft. Crash Bandicoot would fit that as well. But in the end its up to the characters rights owners to decide if they allow

  • TofuTehSurvivor Sugoi Variety Hour© (@TofuTehSurvivor) reported

    @Ghenghis8 @CartridgeGames @sevengranddad92 You're still not seeing the issue? Have you not payed attention to anyone who's asked for them to bring back the original style VC where you got to keep your games? SNES Classic? You mean the thing that was scalped to hell, and Nintendo said they didn't want to make more them?

  • Yellowflower42 Cresso The Grey (@Yellowflower42) reported

    @CrafterArmys Nintendo charges $20 a year for Online fully expecting to get all the profits from it. If Microsoft and SEGA were to then make a large cut into that, sure, Nintendo would still be making profit, but barely any at all. They charge for the service for a reason.

    @Yellowflower42 This should’ve been a thing since the service launched. There is 0 merit in Nintendo switch online. It feels like locking online play behind a pay wall already. Then on top of that ****, they decide to up the price when it has SOMETHING worthwhile? Nah **** nintendo for that.

  • noodle_gangstar skoodle (@noodle_gangstar) reported

    wow nintendo has amazing cu/stomer service, i called because my nintendo a/ccount was ha/cked and they reversed everything in minutes

  • CrafterArmys DJ Wage🙇‍♀️🆖 (@CrafterArmys) reported

    @CraftyAdrian360 @Yellowflower42 If I’m paying an online service cause the company needs funds for stable servers that better reflect in online play. And it does for PlayStation and Xbox. The online servers are stable and good. Nintendo tho? They have proven to use old *** unstable servers in the year 2021.

  • JustDiogo Pikapika-2000 aka Pokémon & Zelda brainrot lol (@JustDiogo) reported

    @Harmony__Bunny As I explained in the tweet i sent, Nintendo's criteria for the characters isn't variety but popularity as long as the third party companies allow their characters to be used. I believe Nintendo might have tried Crash, even more with the 25th anniversary, so let's wait and see

  • Yellowflower42 Cresso The Grey (@Yellowflower42) reported

    @CrafterArmys the service. I agree Nintendo does ****** things but this ain't it

  • Aquaventra Tom Devaddere (@Aquaventra) reported

    @FalKoopa_ I don't really see them releasing smash 64 on the online service. Nintendo is already so against supporting anything other instalment other then smash ultimate.

  • JustDiogo Pikapika-2000 aka Pokémon & Zelda brainrot lol (@JustDiogo) reported

    @Harmony__Bunny As for Crash, if it doesn't happen don't blame Nintendo as it would be more Activision's fault as they're currently the owners of the characters

  • GalacticPirate_ GalacticPirate (@GalacticPirate_) reported

    @MrSujano ??? This is literally talking about Nintendo's SNES and now N64 online service, nothing to do with "the community"

  • Yellowflower42 Cresso The Grey (@Yellowflower42) reported

    @CrafterArmys Microsoft and SEGA's deals are most likely to get a percentage of the profit rather than a specific amount. If Nintendo did not charge extra it would just cut into the already existing service.
