@FortniteGame @NintendoUK my son still cannot download Fortnite 7 due to Nintendo Switch firmware problem. Is it possible to download Fortnite from eshop via MacBook onto micro SD card then use that in his switch?

Wow. Some Smash fans actually get angry and aggressive when you suggest they're in a bubble if they don't know certain characters. Even Nintendo themselves called Kazuya iconic, so yeah. Maybe the problem is with you.

@frankthetank285 @Datboi64762560 @badvgtakes I never heard of the whole games running badly. It seems it is only in certain areas. Nintendo also fix frame rates for BOTW to make it better. I’m not saying the Switch has flawless performance but to say most games run bad is a bit of a reach.

@Dusty_Carpet_ Haha no, wavedashing wasn't even meant to be in the game, melee is objectively not a great game due to it's awful character balance and glitchy mechanics, nintendo made the right call to fix these things

@knockoutcity You guys need to fix the rewards system...I just lost all of my daily challenges that I completed in one match because the stupid Nintendo switch closed the software because of an error and got blocked by a "friend" who thought I abandoned them in the clutch 🙄

@NintendoUK what’s the update on the error code 2123-1502? Is it time to start requesting refunds for unusable games we’ve bought or will it be fixed?

@nintendohill This is not a complete solution to the 12.0.3 update. I tried the steps and it did not fix it. So I contacted Nintendo and they said along the line of ‘we know about the issue, the steps above fix some of the switches but not all. We are trying to find a solution’.

The new #NintendoSwitch update broke my downloads. I can't even play half of my cartridge games cause they require updates which will not download after the new update. @NintendoAmerica please fix this cause resetting my cache and changing my dns settings didn't work.

@Leozinnnl @discord It would have to get past Nintendo and would probably not get added, hardware wouldn’t be an issue

The update for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity got an error even though my wifi is completely fine. My Switch is on 12.0.3 and it's baffling that this was the one update I actually got before Nintendo pulled it, then brought it back. Man. I wonder why...

@NintendoUK yo Nintendo when are you going to issue a patch for the games you bricked with the last update. You’ve killed Minecraft, Fortnite and Mario Racing as it’s under guarantee can I get a new one?

End Of Level Boss
(@End0fLevelB0ss) reported
@NintendoUK Please fix the bug preventing your customers from downloading the games they purchase on eShop. So many people struggling with this since the latest firmware roll-out. Hugely frustrating to not be able to play the games we're buying easily due to downloads repeatedly failing.
