@ShinyCaseyD The latest update caused this issue likely due to Nintendo removing support for TLS 1.3, which is a communications protocol used by some services the Internet. Nintendo needs to issue a server fix and/or new firmware reverting the changes or fixing it. I cant download anything 😢

@JustinH36200331 @BSKtheKing @NickOfTimeGames None of them are anti consumer, but they all fail in one way or another to misgauge what the best policy for their customers are. Nintendo makes brilliant games, for example, but their sense of what makes a customer friendly online service is incredibly blind.

Anyone having the dreaded Nintendoswitch games Download error - restart the switch and go to the store and choose redownload from there. Temporary fix :/ @NintendoAmerica the patch has caused some real issues.

@NintendoAmerica I'm having issues with downloading game updates/software after you guys pulled Nintendo Switch system update 12.0.3 then redistributed it a few days later. Please put out a new update to fix this as soon as possible.

@SwitchUpG @NintendoAmerica Have exactly the same issue. Multiple restarts and still having it. Resulted in me just hitting try again over and over until the download eventually started. Only thing iv manage to get to work. The worst time for this to happen especially over E3 weekend 😩😥

@GermanStrands I get physical Nintendo games. They hold resale value. Physical PS games do not. I get the space issue. I delete games I'm not playing/keep save file. Advantage Nintendo has over PS (besides Infinitely better IP) is no discs. The engine loading sounds are awful STILL w/ PS5

@PushDustIn There are quite a few characters, honestly. Even outside the ones people want, there are those within some Nintendo franchises that can do things other characters can't. I say this as somebody who would like Spyro or Crash in SSBU.

@NtdoScgaming @SCMalletGirl @NintendoAmerica I had this today... It's that System Update v12.0.3. I just press OK on this error message, then press 'Continue' on next screen to retry download and repeat these steps until eventually, it worked. Alas, we await a proper fix from Nintendo.

@Chris_Levin11 @NintendoUK No option to roll back no workarounds from them works and I have 3 kids can’t play their games because they need updates. Plus no communication from Nintendo other than blaming the 4 different networks I have tried. @NintendoUK this is really poor customer service!!

If you're expecting a non-Nintendo mascot platformer to show up at E3, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. They only show shooty shoot games and live service MMORPG's and driving simulations with quirky gamer dialogue. Expecting Rayman in all that is fruitless.

@CaptainWrong1 @NintendoAmerica I didn't say anything about getting stuck. Having to think, like at all, is vital. But the thing about BotW is that since basically anything you try IS a solution to any problem, you never need to think. That's the problem with nonlinearity. You can never fail.

@skeletonpup W/the Switch, the already-weakened promise of backwards compatibility in their portable consoles was finally broken, since it can’t even run 3DS games. I remember feeling pretty shook when the DS Lite became the first Nintendo portable EVER that couldn’t run OG Pokémon. Now? 😬

Which is cool, btw. We've been complaining about Nintendo never letting us buy their old games on new consoles whenever we talk about emus, so HD ports/remasters are always cool. The problem is they'll probably be expensive as **** for no reason at all.

@Cassiopeya_ I wouldn't say it's too gimmicky, but they're definitely lagging behind everyone else. Unfortunately this isn't anything new for Nintendo.

@NintendoAmerica @MarioRabbids Nintendo, I updated my Switch when you first launched version 12.0.3 and now I can’t download any games or updates. When are you going to fix this issue for people who didn’t know about the bugged update before it was too late?

@NintendoAmerica @MarioRabbids I'm very intrigued about how the story happens. Since fusions are still a thing that keep showing up, i'm guessing the heroes never got the Supamerge off of Spawny and he got loose again or maybe they did and are just dealing with the aftermath with the new glitch(?) named Cursa?

@fuckshitstreet I wonder if it could be a server issue on Nintendo’s end? Or possibly the sd card needs formatted?

Yet nothing is fixing it, Nintendo's site says it's services are running, so I went a few steps further reformatting my SD, cleared the cache, factory reset, running it without the SD card! @NintendoUK please suggest a fix that works I'm literally being punished for buying a game

Apparently Gearbox's presentation was even worse than Ubisoft's. Sony doesn't do E3 anymore, EA is all service games, Nintendo probably won't have anything but ports to show, so I guess Microsoft has the floor? Not sure E3 serves much of a purpose anymore.

@BlackardGage @water_cannons @Xbox All of you could just stfu sure one has a game you really like or one has a better subscription service but literally no one care but you so just do every one a favour and keep it to yourself. If you like Xbox or pc or Nintendo or ps good for you but like no one else cares
