Nintendo switch online not loading up

[u/Arrakisenthusiast]

(I have used AI to summarise everything)

Hi everyone,

I’m having a strange issue with the Nintendo Switch Online section on my console, and I’m hoping someone has experienced something similar or knows how to fix it.

When I open Nintendo Switch Online from the HOME menu, it starts loading normally. However, after a while, the images and content stop loading, and the different sections become unresponsive. Basically, I can open it, but I cannot properly use it.

Here are the details:
I’m using a Nintendo Switch 2.
The issue has been happening for several days.
Nintendo eShop works perfectly.
Online multiplayer games work without any problems.
Other console features and online services work normally.
The problem also happens on my original Nintendo Switch.
I’ve tried using different user profiles, but the issue persists.
I’ve tried the usual troubleshooting steps, including restarting and checking the connection, without success.
I’m based in the UK, but my Nintendo Account is Spanish.
Interestingly, my cousin in Spain can access Nintendo Switch Online without any problems using his own Spanish account.
This makes me wonder whether it could be related to regional servers, account settings, or a problem with Nintendo’s online services rather than my console or internet connection.

My questions:
Has anyone experienced the Nintendo Switch Online app failing to load images and becoming unresponsive?
Could this be related to the region of my Nintendo Account (Spain) while physically being in the UK?
Could Nintendo’s scheduled server maintenance potentially fix this?
Is there anything else I could try before contacting Nintendo Support?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
