【Switch 2 / Switch General】Experiencing long wait times or difficulty finding matches in online battles. What should I do?

Problembehandlung

If you are having trouble matching with other players or experience long matchmaking times,please review the following points and try the suggested solutions.

*If an error occurs during an online match with a specific friend or player, the issue may be related to the other player's internet connection.

【Check whether the same issue occurs with other apps】

Please check whether the same issue occurs with other games or apps.

If the issue also occurs with other games or apps, there may be a problem with your internet connection.

【Review Your Internet Connection Status】

Please check the status of your game console, your internet connection, and your network devices (such as your router), as well as whether there are any issues with your internet service provider (ISP).

Restarting your router or updating its firmware may also help.

In addition, depending on the time of day, network traffic may be congested, making it difficult to connect. Please try again at a different time.

【Wired Internet Connection】

A wired LAN connection is recommended when playing online.

For instructions on how to set up a wired LAN connection, please refer to the following Nintendo support website.
