Nintendo Switch Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • vengeance_darth Demon_Timez😈😈😈🇩🇴 (@vengeance_darth) reported

    @NintendoAmerica You should fix the game instead of promoting a unfinished product

  • VirtuouScimitar Seif Zaki (@VirtuouScimitar) reported

    Cont... So I think I'm looking at getting a 3rd party joy-con instead, unless Nintendo produces a remodelled version without the prevailing issues. Nyxi ones are looking nice. Any other recommendations?

  • Spudeh Sam | Spud (@Spudeh) reported

    @Sophi_Darling My problem is that if I buy it, I'm supporting Game Freak/Nintendo making unacceptable decisions, like releasing a game that's clearly not ready for the sake of holiday sales. Considering we are in one of the best periods for game releases in a while, it stands out as poor form.

    I might wait for Nintendo to release a patch to fix the lag before I keep playing #PokemonViolet

  • OrcaHedron OrcaHedron (@OrcaHedron) reported

    @NintendoUK rip broken pier

  • MikeyE1010 Mikey1010 (@MikeyE1010) reported

    @NintendoAmerica funny & is apparently an issue that several other players are having. Gamestop does not give refunds for digital downloads, so is there any way that I can get a refund as I cannot play these games?

  • lunefrosts richie (@lunefrosts) reported

    god i wish nintendo would fix the communication error thing in splatoon.

  • tatsntaters Tats 🥀 (@tatsntaters) reported

    I was already done with them years ago but seeing people criticizing Nintendo and the new games, as they should be, brings me joy. No game should be that much money and be so broken, especially not one from a renowned company who recycles the same formula over and over again.

    @SmittyRich13 @TheNCSmaster Problem is difference in standards. The game is technically not unplayable but everything about it screams amateur programming. Which is particularly frustrating when Pokémon is one of Nintendo’s most profitable IPs. You may be content with it, but many aren’t.

  • Teroniss Derrick Manning (@Teroniss) reported

    @NintendoAmerica You know, I'm less bothered by performance issues than by the emptiness of the game's "hub city". There is no benefit to exploring the city proper. Like you could take all the shops in town, make them a school store and remove the town itself and lose nothing for it.

  • Magnet_Eater MagnetEater (@Magnet_Eater) reported

    @SoraBoItX Yes,but wait a while to see if Nintendo bothers to fix ****

  • twitchsudilav sudilav (@twitchsudilav) reported

    @JezCorden My problem is with the whole industry and it's exclusivity. GOW, Horizon, and TLOU are great series, but not worth $500+ hardware purchases. The same goes for Nintendo locking their IP onto their booty proprietary tech.

  • 12inthepm noon (@12inthepm) reported

    every other game someone discoennected and we have to restart the game and then I wait 4 minutes in queue and then I get connection issue GRAAAHHH NINTENDO FIX SPLATONN !!

  • S_R_Tweets Custom-made Ben -NOT FOR SALE!- (@S_R_Tweets) reported

    more than any performance issues, the thing that has me constantly kicking myself for getting multiplats on switch is the lack of analog triggers. how in the world does nintendo justify not having them

  • NishGuy NishGuy@OGBladeJob (@NishGuy) reported

    I think the thing that bugs me the most is that neither #Nintendo nor #GameFreak have acknowledged the performance issues with #PokemonScarletViolet. Nintendo got jealous of CDPR and wanted their own Cyberpunk debacle. I haven't played it yet, but I am considering a pass.
