    @FortniteGame Nintendo switch update error today. Unable to get onto game? Any known issues here? Have tried restarting with no such luck. #NintendoSwitch #Fortnite #UPDATE

  • pjhenry1216 Paul Henry (@pjhenry1216) reported

    @NintendoAmerica you didn't actually fix the software update... most of my downloads are failing with 2123-1502. Sometimes it works, but it fails much much more than succeeds. You owe your customers an explanation and a fix. It's a travesty.

  • mylucidpills Leviticus (@mylucidpills) reported

    @nintendolife @nintendo please fix your Eshop or at least add flip notes with a pen

  • mascotsarekool river (@mascotsarekool) reported

    @NinEverything I'm just saying if the next update, whether it's 12.0.4. or 13.0.0. doesn't fix this we're gonna have to send our consoles to Nintendo and that's gonna SUCK

  • D4NNID1SAST3R D4NNI D!$4$T3R (@D4NNID1SAST3R) reported

    Think its mad that despite Nintendo pulling the software update that stops you from downloading stuff they haven't even thought of how to fix the consoles that already updated No further update, no way to reverse the update How have Nintendo literally not thought of this

  • LuigiBlood LuigiBlood (@LuigiBlood) reported

    It seems that I also got the download problem from 12.0.3. Though I pressed on it, as Nintendo suggested, and the download started again. Still a very odd thing.

  • JaiMarqui MxtroCxrse (@JaiMarqui) reported

    @melazzzzeryou @FortniteStatus Im having the problem on my end. Its not fortnite fault its nintendo for having download errors.

  • battosai_uchiha Antonio Lopez Solis (@battosai_uchiha) reported

  • MauricePhoenix Maurice Phoenix (@MauricePhoenix) reported

  • treystar679 💛❤️💙treystar679 (@treystar679) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I would download it… If you guys could fix that faulty 12.0.3 update so it can actually work!

  • Shiiigu Shiiigu but Gay 🏳️‍🌈 (@Shiiigu) reported

    @Nova2127u @iKONIK_ex @LazyZach23 I just know I caught in Nintendo's very first ban wave trying to boot into Atmosphere, I hadn't pirated or modded at all, but as soon as I was done and booted back into stock, my eShop wouldn't open and any online actions were met with a "banned" error code

  • vazquez_lander Codx_Rhinoツ面 (@vazquez_lander) reported

    @iFireMonkey I have an error when starting fortnite on nintendo switch from a recent update on June 11, 2021 and it tells me an error when downloading, could someone tell me why or when it can be solved?

  • DaNeonJackie NeonJackie (@DaNeonJackie) reported

    @NintendoAmerica please fix your ******* console. I should not have to spam a button for twenty minutes to update a ******* game.

  • maze_mathias MazeCuber (Mathias Panduro) (@maze_mathias) reported

    @Clickteam i just bought it but now im faceing that Nintendo switch downloading problem...

  • BenLikesToast Ben (@BenLikesToast) reported

    @Keyjiwyd No worries, just don't turn off your switch or you'll get the ****** error again. I think it's because Nintendo released a new Firmware update and it causes this ******* **** to happen so yeah. Don't worry. 👍

  • Snobbygnu Jordan Grace (@Snobbygnu) reported

    I know people are probably tired of hearing about the rumored Nintendo Switch Pro or whatever they may call it, but honestly I am really hoping it's a thing. Sucks playing on my Switch Lite and it's tiny screen with the added performance issues in some games just to save $100.🤞

  • FAHARA_RV Alejandro Escajeda (@FAHARA_RV) reported

    @Portman882 @FortniteGame The error is on the part of the nintendo switch, it remains to wait for nintendo( error 2123-1502) to release a patch for the same console

  • zugadoon haha jonathan you are banging my entire bloodline (@zugadoon) reported

    @NintendoUK I have the 2123-1502 error and after trying lot of things I have reformatted and now I can’t download any games at all. Help!

  • SolarShadow5 TeaLeaves (@SolarShadow5) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Also, I see a lot of people begging for games and when they come out rushed, they get mad. Do you wanna wait or not? They’re like “if Nintendo don’t release (game) now Imma *broken switch photo*” 1/2

  • BraxtonLucas2 shady_pinguX (@BraxtonLucas2) reported

    @PretzelJones @Crocodi24617549 @JakX62 Like its got the same issue nintendo has. I want to like my twitter but it takes me to the PlayStation website instead of just using my PlayStation account in console. Ive logged into that maybe 4x? In a span of years so every-time i have to painstakingly redo my password..

  • donaldmcobb Michael (@donaldmcobb) reported

    @SuperJonny64 @TOPolk The PS3 stopped receiving support years ago. I also suspect doing GTA Online over Nintendo's service presents various problems. It may not be worth the money to address those two items.

  • BenLikesToast Ben (@BenLikesToast) reported

    1/2 Do not turn off your switch if you're downloading your game. The error message will appear again. So please guys. Make nintendo see this, so they can at least check their updates before they release them. @NintendoAmerica @NintendoEurope @nintendolife
