@XDFUNNYHAHA @ExpandDong15 Yep, just spam it. It’ll work eventually. Though I kinda wish Nintendo would figure out what went wrong and fix it lol

But all right okay so Xbox has this issue AMD has this issue Nvidia has this issue Sony has this issue and I bet if I go look at Nintendo they probably have this issue too but we'll see I'd have to actually look

@MrMonkeyMan94 @Aaronitmar Neither tekken nor crash bandicoot are sony series. Both have been on nintendo platforms several times now and nintendo characters have been in tekken. Why wouldn't this be the case now?

@VoidSuckler 1. No, Nintendo hasn't fixed this error yet as far as I'm concerned 2. There is a way around the issue but it's gonna sound annoying af You physically have to delete the software from the home menu, go into the eshop, and re-download them. Works for every downloadable game

Microsoft and Nintendo have been into the idea of crossplay for years, yet Sony rejected the idea of crossplay. This might not be a big problem anymore as we see more and more games get crossplay like Fortnite and Minecraft.

@justmenmygirls4 You know they don't have to use open source emulators right? Making an inhouse emulator like what Nintendo did for 3D All Stars prevents a lot of problems and ups the compatibility because you're reverse engineering for the specific system.

@EvernightStudio this happened just as i was able to finally start using nintendo online, and the games i wanted to play online needed to be updated hope we find a fix soon

@ZockerOmi @Shatterglass23 Nintendo's customer service has always been awful though. Lol. In ways I'm surprised their formula of not caring about customers has worked so well over the years but it does.

@nichegamer Guess that's okay but shouldn't your line read "Tencent says Nintendo still has permission to produce Bayonetta 3: Game as Service Edition"?

@YukiFoxSpirit @LemonyNebula @pcgamer I really don't think it's bad when every other company does it, they bought a studio and they decided it's an exclusive for their platform, just like sony and nintendo have had many many exclusives not even available on pc, and that not being a problem at all lol

@NintendoUK you should outsource your customer service, cheaper for you better for everyone else!

If you guys are dealing with downloading errors on the nintendo switch, restart your switch (not sleep mode). Once it errors again, you hit continue again and it should work again. However, it is continuous to other downloads, so you have to repeat this again.

@lnc0 It actually worked for me as well after 5 days of trying to download mario + rabbids so maybe nintendo did fix something behind the back but i don´t get my hopes up just yet

To anyone who is having trouble re-downloading software on their switch and is getting multiple error messages, I have a solution for you until Nintendo fixes it. This worked for me with about 7 games that I wanted to re-download.

I have this terrible habit of leaving my consoles on whenever I leave the house. Out of subconscious fear that the save function doesn't work for some odd reason. Thanks Super Nintendo for the trust issues.

@NinWire This happened to me a few days ago, thought it was just a one game problem and downloaded a different game to see if that one worked, now I have a permanent grey space on my Switch home menu. **** you too, Nintendo

For anyone looking for advice on the Nintendo Switch error code 2123-1502: the only way I have circumvented it personally is by doing the typical “reset cache, restart switch” stuff and THEN doing each download *one at a time* without navigating away from the download status bar
