@NintendoAmerica 2123-1502 error is out of control. I and others have tried the dns, reboot and cache clearing troubleshoots to no avail. Takes 20 minutes sometimes to power through the continue option when downloading to get it to work. Please fix

@PerttiMkel5 @NabbitFan730 @NintendoAmerica trust me i know the smash community pretty well if we got spyro we would get a riot , to end it off on a better note if we couldn’t get crash imo would be sora but that’s literally impossible

@musticlas @RedGamingTech That's the point. What I'm getting at is even a 'Switch Pro' isn't likely to be running STALKER 2 anytime soon, hence cloud streaming. But the Xbox has plenty of games that can run on Switch hardware that a cloud streaming service could kill sales for Nintendo in the eshop for.

@Avrazael @So_Ethereal @NintendoAmerica The story was good. If there was an issue, it was the English dub.

@NintendoUK Would love to take advantage of this sale, but that now-infamous update etc has rendered that impossible like for many others. Constant error code 2123-1502 & yes I tried DNS settings & everything else many, many times. Awaiting patiently for 12.0.4 or whatever is needed...

@Nana_Lili_Chii Nintendo is extremely hard to get refunds from but the issue is affecting all players, Taito is working on fixing it. One of their songs made its ESRB rating go up because they didn't censor it and it was removed, you should be able to download the purchased DLC in a day or two.

Honestly at this point I should just send the whole switch to Nintendo and write "fix pls" on a little note with a bad drawing of the joycons

@Chomper_NG Isn't K Rool, Banjo, and Diddiy the only characters in Smash not developed by a Japanese studio? And of course they're all Rareware, a company somewhat iconic to Nintendo's past. I was under the impression they are avoiding "western" IPs (I know Crash is from Europe... I think?)
-

(@Ovis_Cantus) reported
@Infilament Of course, it's born from Nintendo calling their own internet service "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection" back in the Wii days, and there being a button on Brawl's menu labeled that way. It's persisted as a term for 13 years somehow, though I have seen it less in the past few months.

@grapefruitanju @RogeeRoger MY problem with this is that Smash fans will get a cool big pick like this and be like. "Ugh who's this, give us real icons." Then ask for some Mario spinoff character who hasn't been in a game in over 20 years (who Nintendo probably doesn't even own btw)

I'm getting error code 2123-1502 when trying to download the 3 games I just bought... I googled it and it said it was something about an update. So, is it still not resolved then? I wanna download my games asap 😩 #NintendoSwitch #nintendo #nintendoerror @NintendoEurope

This will never happen in a million years, but... What if nintendo secretly drops the game before 2022? And they WAIT until some guy looking through the e-store finds it, and tweets about it being out. The e-shop would probably crash xD

@snuffles @NintendoAmerica I don’t think it was a problem back in the day releasing so many Mario party games at full price, because they were so different and the content was very good. The problem is the lack of content and updates that the last one had, it could’ve been nice for this one to be just dlc

@Turinnn1 @ChrisRGun it seems weird how so many suddenly have an issue with it when microsoft does it. Unlike nintendo and sony they at least allow you to play majority of their games on pc, so you're not forced to throw money at a console just for one or two games you want.

What is Nintendo’s fix on releasing barebones games and then adding stuff in later dude

@glaedrax I was going to wait for Metroid Prime 4 to buy a Switch, but I am such a 2D Metroid fan (Finally Nintendo WTF 19 years?!) That it's time. (Switch Lite have stick drift issues?)

@NintyPrime I am actually surprised and I’m not trying to get a backlash from saying this that people actually thought that pre-orders were going to go up a GameStop for the switch pro and plus the capital N in New Nintendo switch when the switched it back because it was a error

@TricksterFGC OMG!!!! Stupid shotos ruining smash 😠😠😠 it would've been so much better if someone like Crash or Spyro got into smash 💯💯 Nintendo should fire Sakurai and hire me because obviously I would give the people what they want 😤😤😤

@Thelastsupersa2 The problem with E3 this year was the fact that nobody came prepared for it due to COVID with Nintendo being the exception. They knew that the audience wanted to see video games and no preaching. The fact that the writers chose to put Xbox as the winner shows how biased they are.

@ShadyHusky_ @Pokemon the problem is not much that nintendo don't know how market works, more everything not being about you.
