Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mbb12beast TTv AmConfusion_ (@mbb12beast) reported

    @RayCheesy21 In the video announcement about the Tech Test, Ramone stated “your stream has to be titled tech test because it has no affiliation with the finished version of the game”. This might mean Nintendo doesn’t want the tech test streamed because there may be too many issues.

  • Hellgate79 Biagio Di Silvestro (@Hellgate79) reported

    @GamerThumbTV the only problem of that game is playing it on an actual nintendo ds or 3ds those controls are so bad,but emulation make it perfect.

  • pasta_wheat Quarantined Box of Wheat Pasta (@pasta_wheat) reported

    @LuintaAke @baph_xyz @didyouknowgamin so that they could find a way to charge people for online play for no reason. The VC could coexists with a NSO like service that was more like (the PC version of) Game Pass, but Nintendo wouldn't make as much money that way

  • moldyclay h9 ʎɐlɔʎploɯ ♏ (@moldyclay) reported

    One of the reasons I am not currently too concerned about "oh no can't buy old games, why do you promote pirating" is that usually when Nintendo does something people get pissy about, they have some plan within the next 5 years that was intended to fix whatever problem they made.

  • atabor1985 atabor1985 (@atabor1985) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia I would say yes, but I think it will still take them a long time to bring the WiiU and 3DS to the online platform. Looking at how long it took for them to bring the 64 itself to the service is evidence of that. I see Nintendo dragging their feet on this one. Hopefully not!

  • baph_xyz Sarah Hawthorne | Baphomet Media 🍥 (@baph_xyz) reported

    What if Nintendo just sold ROMs of their old games? I'm sure there would be logistical issues with that, but they definitely need some sort of repository of their games if they want people to stop pirating them.

    @AydinStidham @DynamoSuperX @NintendoAmerica No problem!

  • Tsunamijess J𝑒𝓈𝓈𝒾𝒸𝒶 (人´㉨｀) (@Tsunamijess) reported

    @Numnums43 Sometimes it’s just harder to read or hear others reviews because everyone’s situation is different. I didn’t even try the demo because I just wanted the game badly but I’m sure if it didn’t work Nintendo would reimburse the game if customer service is called

  • BBobble5 BubbleBobble5 (@BBobble5) reported

    @DJK1NG_Gaming I never had a problem with Nintendo’s price points but they have some of the worst account set up and data transfer systems of the big three.

  • somawurld soma (@somawurld) reported

    i remember when i told someone tbat i used to have a problem biting my nintendo switch cartridge boxes they said "that is uniquely soma" im still wondering what this means

  • GamingAngelGabe Gabe Gurwin (@GamingAngelGabe) reported

    New Nintendo online store is so good--I can't buy a Switch game through it without getting an error message. Love Nintendo.

  • PostCubie Kyle 🛹 (@PostCubie) reported

    @EnbyFish420 Removing shops straight up removes access to a game for a large majority of people. It functionality costs zero dollars to digital distribute a game. Nintendo is contributing to a systemic issue in the industry. That of games no longer being available for everyone.

  • darrek_attilla Gametropolis (@darrek_attilla) reported

    @howliehowls @E_DUBBLE05 @GameOverThirty I remember Nintendo proposing a subscription service where they would change the games regularly and allow gamers to purchase those leaving the service at a discounted price. It was laughed at. A few years later MS did exactly that with Game Pass!

  • OkThenMac Gol 🅿️ Mac (@OkThenMac) reported

    If Nintendo was really bout it they would make Naruto “Rise of Ninja” and “Broken Bonds” available on the Switch.

  • WaffulSyrup 🧇ᗯᗩᖴᖴ|Commissions (Open for April Booking)🧇 (@WaffulSyrup) reported
