Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

    @NintendoUK Fix your dogshit connection issues and maybe it'll be more worth it. Mario Maker 2 VS mode is awful.

  • RobertWolfII1 Robert Wolf II (@RobertWolfII1) reported

    @LonelyGoomba The problem is it's not worth it and companies are slowly getting more greedy with their crap. People are tired of it expect the whales and the people who can afford it. It use to be free and that gave Nintendo a leg up but effectively know where it's going from here now, sadly.

    @NintendoUK Has the online service improved since you started charging? The only online game I used to play was Splatoon and I got sick of 3V4 or even 2v1 games.

  • ChadPrim3 The Chad (@ChadPrim3) reported

    @Nina7Infinity @DDay_Cobra @Nintendo The basic service is decent. $25 per year is pretty cheap compared to psn and xbox. and switch sales can be really good. currently Mortal Kombat 11 is on sale for $20

  • WAG_Cavmedic Worst Average Gamer (@WAG_Cavmedic) reported

    @soliderack @Target @Xbox This is not a Sony or Microsoft issue, this is everything in 2020 and 2021. GPU's, Nintendo Switch OLED, PS5, Xbox Series S|X, SSD's, and so many other things have met more supply than demand.

    @TThunderowl @HaddoxJack @DestinyFomo If Nintendo really wanted to compete on the service level MS is opening up, that would've been what Nintendo did. And if the rumors are true (I don't think they are but anything can happen) Apple is getting ready to specifically target Nintendo. With their service platform...

  • grabowski_luke Luke Grabowski (@grabowski_luke) reported

    @nintendolife Atleast fix your servers Nintendo

  • Keebiiboi Keebii (@Keebiiboi) reported

    Right now is not a good time to be a Nintendo fan, because a $50 expansion pack for an already mediocre online service is honestly pretty embarrassing.

    @NintendoAmerica Piracy cannot be fought by being an executioner. Piracy is fought by offering quality and affordable service.

  • Kotlolish Kotlol (I have too much titles) (@Kotlolish) reported

    @ZeldaMasterLuke The expansion pack actually asks alot more questions. If it is 20 to 40 bucks more expensive depending on the plan.. it means the Nintendo Online service in reality... only like 2.50 per year for online? Or for the cloud saving? Online was free.. so...it makes you wonder.

  • lastofavari Mind of Avari (@lastofavari) reported

    @VryRdmButterfly I think the problem people having is that we are comparing $30 for Nintendo offical™ emulation vs. unofficial emulation for $0. Paying $30 for a physical release, even if it's just a flash memory card for Switch to play Sega or Nintendo collection could be more valuable.

  • DestinyFomo DestinyFomo (@DestinyFomo) reported

    @TThunderowl @Jameron4evaSean @HaddoxJack Everyone here is arguing or debating about the prices of the Nintendo switch online service. So I was wondering if the people debating it even have a Nintendo switch. That’s why I asked to be tagged in the pics.

  • Nick_Steinberg Nick Steinberg (@Nick_Steinberg) reported

    @jpbeeman @Errorfix4044 @PaulTassi Lol given Nintendo’s track record of piecemeal releases and service abandonment, it’s in no way obvious there will be more. You’re just blindly hoping they will (and look - I get it. I’m still blindly hoping for a Wind Waker HD port!)

  • DarklingGaymer 🦇🖤Darkling Gaymer❤️🎃 (@DarklingGaymer) reported

    @NintendoUK Maybe when the lag is sorted out and disconnections are gone I'll consider it otherwise for now it's not worth it.

  • mudron Bill Murderin' (@mudron) reported

    Man, I still can't get over how weird that new Nintendo online pricing stuff is, especially when half of it is for an expansion to a game that not everyone has bought and the other half is for a retro game collection service that Nintendo may very quickly abandon within a year.
