Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

• Rigor (@Rigorsbastion) reported a minute ago

  @YaBoiChipsAhoy3 @SonicDepressed The umm actually crowd, has the same problem. Everytime Nintendo or some other company throws around a c&d and it negatively impacts an empassioned fan. Someone comes out putting the creator down or saying their within their rights to throw a c&d. Everyone knows.

  @KennyPoyo Especially backed Nintendo. If this wasn’t on a Nintendo console, i wouldn’t have a problem

• Alicia (@AliciaWhimsi) reported 6 minutes ago

  @DarkThrowback I just think this trend among Nintendo fans where anything that isn't constantly 24/7 running is somehow news of something. *Nintendo gets DDoS'd* "Yooooooo confirmation for the September 31st direct?????"

• Hunter Ginn (@VGx7Hunter) reported 9 minutes ago

  @LonelyGoomba That’s the weird issue. The hardware is definitely showing age at this point, but the sales aren’t slowing down, so there’s no reason on Nintendo’s end to replace it.

  @earthbound64 I’m mad at Nintendo for catering to casual crowds, no earthbound, no Metroid, but the Metroid curse has been broken finally, now we wait for another earthbound, if only sakurai would get off his high horse and pay attention to something other than smash

• Riverー風邪 忍者 🐬 (@ShaDolphin) reported 10 minutes ago

  I think it took nintendo 4 months to get splatoon 2s balancing ok, but ninjala's is still terrible(a year in the game). Not to mention the new armor special that'll most likely be broken as ****, and they nerfed a weapon that was hard to play, nintendo did it to h3 but it wasnt-

  @LSTNR_ @getonthestiix LOL if I remember correctly, they were in a lawsuit over the right to fix systems. MS/SOny/nintendo were guilty of putting this weird *** disclaimer. About if you remove the tape on the back of the system you void their warrranty nonsense.

  @hypermario24 i know rumors are a broken record at this point, but, september is looking to be when game boy and game boy color titles are coming to nintendo switch online. maybe it'll be your chance to play the original trilogy! (and not need to resort to emulation)

• Matt Howard (@MattHoward72) reported 13 minutes ago

  @DeskLaser @Wario64 It does absolutely still work. The "quality" is up for debate but that was always the case. But it still works by definition of functioning and loading webpages. The major issue is the Nintendo DS needs a 100% open unsecure network. Do NOT open a security risk with your router.

• Poptropicabob (@poptropicabob) reported 19 minutes ago

  Nintendo needs to do something about Super Smash Bros 4 on the Nintendo 3DS. It has a glitch where some characters will be unplayable. Instead of playing the game like normal. The game will load indefinitely. This happened after the latest patch from 2017. The glitch came in 2018

• Based Persona 4 Facts (@basedpersona4) reported 21 minutes ago

  @Selfie_Trash Splatoon???? Lag???? what internet are you on? Splatoon is probably the most stable Nintendo game on the NSO system lmao Smash Bros lag is actually due to its online infrastructure being delay-based and not rollback netcode. Apparently Sakurai found it hard to do 8-player N.C.

• Click Greatness (@Click_Greatness) reported 21 minutes ago

  @TheEggman64 The only problem was that you HAD to buy 3D World to get it. I mean I think Nintendo could’ve sold it separately too for 10 or 15 dollars and would’ve made a ton of profit.

  @soulkibble "Let's keep modding games that work perfectly fine normally and then blame Nintendo for shutting it down instead of getting in huge legal trouble letting us do it"
