  • Mehican0 Mehicano (@Mehican0) reported

    For anyone getting nintendo error code 2123- 502 when downloading from the switch store or redownloading and updates, it is a glitch with the new update from last week, just spam “ok” to the error code and then continue download, it’ll work after like 5-10 times #nintendo

  • xinyansv cait 💌 (@xinyansv) reported

    genshin bring on nintendo seitch would fix all of my problems

  • RyanWGleason Ryan Gleason (@RyanWGleason) reported

    Also Ive been playing a lot of Pokemon lately and goddamn Nintendo needs to fix their button layout

  • DylanDaGoat05 ItsSoMuchToast | TheToastOven on YT (@DylanDaGoat05) reported

    @MiiCostumeGuy @NintendoAmerica 5 ain't "kinda" pathetic. It IS pathetic. That was a problem in Super Mario Party and they knew it. $60 for old 5 maps and old mini games? I can't be surprised, it is Nintendo after all. Let's just hope they learn from their mistakes.

  • SplatFefs Fefs in good vibes (@SplatFefs) reported

    @AEGRO_84 Its a new game on launchdate, it is meant to be expensive. I think you aren't seeing the bigger issue here: it is gonna cost 60 dollars retail price forever. Because Nintendo never lower their prices with time.

  • TheRichEspeon Richard | KAZUYA AND METROID DREAD!!!! (@TheRichEspeon) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @NintendoEurope @NintendoUK Nintendo, please fix your latest update, v12.0.3! We can't download or update our games! Error code 2123-1502. We're waiting for a new update!

  • Ethan66150686 Ethan (@Ethan66150686) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Why even show games if we can't download/update due to error 2123-1502?

  • slimelynn eli (@slimelynn) reported

    omg can nintendo fix their **** already i just wanna download the game

  • willczzz willcz (@willczzz) reported

    @DynamoSuperX "Super Mario Party issues go beyond the lack of boards." There are 4 boards in Super Mario Party. Mario Party 1 had 8 boards. They are selling a game with boards that already exist. Mario Party Top 100 has taught Nintendo twitter nothing.

  • RealDeBergerac David de Bergerac (@RealDeBergerac) reported

    @PatStaresAt I think Nintendo has a huge problem with thinking up a "fun quirky immersive game mechanic" but doesn't stop to think about what the opinion of that mechanic will be after a hundred hours of playtime

  • bullognia aw shucks ✊🏿 BLM (@bullognia) reported

    @b0tster I want broken bones. I mean they are much more likely to break than a sword, use your brain nintendo

  • HSteffenhagen Hannes Steffenhagen (@HSteffenhagen) reported

    @wigglywou1 @TheBruh01434749 @NintendoAmerica Overall the game is really quite good I'd say, not the top echelon of the series but most of the hate seems to come from people who've only heard about the games problems and never actually played it.

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • BoltMitch Mitchel Preston Kennedy (@BoltMitch) reported

    @SmashTropics @ArtofNP Pretty sure this is from the Nintendo Power issues. I had to scan all of these when i used to have my ST website.

  • DatBruh6 ZTOnumber2fan (@DatBruh6) reported

    @Rubikzzzz Did not fall for it, try again later I have trust issues and I immediately check dates on Nintendo quote tweets

  • gomarkwilder Mark Wilder (@gomarkwilder) reported

    @Necksplitter The problem is since Nintendo combined their console and handheld divisions they can now sell what would traditionally be a $30 game marked up at traditional “home” console game prices. sidebar— Metroid Dread was originally a Nintendo DS game dating back to 2007

  • Zenox1987 Zenox (Luigi) (@Zenox1987) reported

    @KkiArts No, the last update make some trouble, but after many tries is possible download games and update, i hope Nintendo fix it soon

  • Phoul Colin Childs (@Phoul) reported

    @NintendoAmerica it's been almost a week since the broken patch came out on Switch, making downloads stop working for a large portion of your player base. Is there any plan to acknowledge or fix this soon?

  • WhatAreMeNow You (@WhatAreMeNow) reported

    @DOOM holy crap the spirits in TAG 1 for the Nintendo Switch... they are way too overpowered. It’s insane. Tone them down plzzzz!!! Also if your going to buff the marauder, up the rate of the green eyes, didn’t let me get any hits at all. Just generally fix tag!!! Thx!

  • Ethan66150686 Ethan (@Ethan66150686) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Cool game, to bad I won't be able to download it because of error code 2123-1502

  • Ethan66150686 Ethan (@Ethan66150686) reported

    @ZachaRic_O @NintendoAmerica Sorry man I'm having the same issue. Thanks nintendo

  • tmix1600 same as my tag (@tmix1600) reported

    @Thomaswarny @MkForSmash @Sora_Sakurai I wanted it for years, Nintendo ****** us though, we could have had Ryu from the SFV thing but they took him, Took Kazuya, Took Cloud AND sephiroth, took Joker as The Persona rep, playstation still has options but all they didn't take is Crash, Sora, Spyro and Lara, n they cud

  • dealmakindeity Zephyr (@dealmakindeity) reported

    Damn I really want to play Kid Icarus Uprising but my 3DS bhas been broken for a while and I have no way of playing it other than an emu. If only it was on the Nintendo Switch so I could experience the game in an even more fantastic way. Hint. Hint. Nudge. Nudge. Wink. Wink.

  • harvjavivr Javi (@harvjavivr) reported

    The fact that Nintendo still hasn't fixed the download problem with 12.0.3 is actually pissing me off Jesus christ

  • DanielBersamin Dbers_671 (@DanielBersamin) reported

    @alphaINTEL Need to fix the graphics for apex legends on Nintendo switch

  • GuiLeena_ 💜| Gui (#BMBrokenMe) (@GuiLeena_) reported

    @RekkiMaru78 Nintendo would make new streaming service only available on Switch to do that 😭

  • Nicromante1999 Davram (@Nicromante1999) reported

    @G2A_com The problem with Cyberpunk is not its"Rush Release" they promised mechanics that are no more than a year from release.Nintendo does things very badly,but what they did with Metroid 4 is what CD Project had to do "a delayed game is eventually good but a rushed game is forever bad"

  • Ap0calypticC Ap0calypticCheese (@Ap0calypticC) reported

    @GideonsGaming I suppose it's possible they want to play only specific new releases that aren't on the service. Or Nintendo titles.

  • cresselia89 Cressy89 (@cresselia89) reported

    Hey Nintendo bb, i love you but can you please fix the downloading issue after this last update please? Just had a hell of a time getting Miitopia to download for Caius. On the upside, Caius can't nag me to keep playing miitopia now that he has it. XD
