@NintendoUK Any help or even any comment to us unlucky enough to get stuck on the broken switch 12.0.3 update? Can't download updates or new games nor is there the option to roll back to a working os version.

@Wrenegadey @NintendoAUNZ Nope, and yes. The only reliable fix is to keep trying to download and eventually it *might* work. Worse is that after Nintendo released 12.0.3, the errors occurred, so they withdrew the update. That got my first switch. Then they republished it, so you assume it's OK. Nope.

@NintendoUK 2123-1502 FIX IT!.... Nobody cares about upcoming games if your console doesn’t work… Release a statement regarding your buggy firmware, your showing complete consumer contempt!

@Nimjue @Nintendo I'm not 100% sure. it's possible? either way, every time I tried I still keep getting this error. IDK but I can say for sure that it's VERY annoying to not able to download a game like this.

@NintendoUK hey my switch isn’t letting me update my minecraft for some reason and I’ve tried looking up how to fix it but it’s not working and it’s happening to my sister too because I wanted to make sure it wasn’t just me that it was happening too. #NintendoSwitch

@IGN Why do people complain about 60 dollar games from Nintendo? Just don't buy it then if it's such a issue? And honestly it really couldn't be DLC and I'm glad it isn't. I can't wait for Mario Party Superstars! I really needed this, Thank you Nintendo!

@SShovelware @SwitchUpG @NintendoAmerica Start downloading the game then when it asked u to do it again continue press the button and pop it into sleep mode straight away leave a second or two then start again and it should be downloading. So far worked Every time. And yes they should fix it asap it's taking the P. Lol.

Patch
(@SoulPatchanBuff) reported
One big issue I feel I should bring up is the story/performances, Nintendo really needs to step up their game, no set the voices to Japanese isn't an excuse when the vast majority of players will be speaking English, it's not even that it's outright bad, just not what's needed.

@GeorgeOD_ Four years?! HOW lmfao. I got drift probably first week in on two sets of joy cons. Like Nintendo is required to repair them for you if you mail it in, this is a legit issue not casual gamer wear and tear on controllers....

@thirsty_pocket @BoundaryBreak Why is this siddenly an issue now, while this has been happening since the beginning of gaming? SM64 was just as expensive as Superman 64 (when they released). Be happy Nintendo stays at $60, while other companies up their prices to $70.

Through brute force I managed to download the Age of Calamity DLC past this constant failure error code that's apparently been happening ever since the last system update and Nintendo hasn't bothered to fix at all but I guess even though it's the 18th it's not out yet

@NintendoAmerica could you please fix your lousy switch update screwing us all over? Still nothing, and it’s super annoying. After seeing the Breath of the Wild Sequel trailer, I wanted to go back to playing. Can’t even play it at all.

@Wrenegadey @NintendoAUNZ I mean, hope that Nintendo fix it. It's all I got. He'll, even if I was made of money and bought a new switch, the new firmware could still bust it.

If Nintendo could, would they even need to do a third DLC pack? Like who isn't in smash that y'all still want in? Just Crash and Chief and Sora?

(@BrySkyeGaming) reported
@child_tomato @NintendoUK Yeah, its been a system issue since the latest firmware update and Nintendo haven't said anything about it. Literally the best advice is to keep clicking to continue the download in a loop and eventually it'll hopefully actually start downloading. Once it starts, its ok.
