@MiKAuditore Right, forgot that if it's only owned by one company, it can't celebrate anything but the games it owns. Let's just forget about the third parties in the crossover party game. If you have a problem with it, you should be talking to Nintendo, not me.

@mjc0961 I mean, Nintendo apparently didn't even have a 3DS/WiiU error code I got even IN THEIR BOOKS despite IT BEING THEIR ****** CONSOLES. I ended up hanging up because they wanted me to wipe everything to fix it. No thanks, I'm not wasting thousands of hours of data for a 'maybe'

I like how @NintendoAmerica continues to ignore Switch error 2123-1502 that has been plaguing a significant number of console owners for days now. No updates. No fixes. Just advice from Customer Service that sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t.

@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.

@1128_Lizzie @NintendoAmerica Yeah but it isn't ideal. My guess it's a temporary fix

@NintendoAmerica think the Mario golf super rush website might be broken, I can't seem to sign in, and the sign-in button on the home page doesn't work

@bewd4133 It's been a long time coming, really. 5 (6) games, 3 of them are on Switch, and he has a plethora of moves to choose from. Plus, Capcom and Nintendo seem to be in good standing with each other, and if the issue was *guns*, Joker broke that rule. Idk what'a the holdup.

@NintendoAmerica I believe system update 12.0.3 might be creating a bug where updates fail immediately. Whether it be downloading new games or updating owned ones. This error goes by the number 2123-1502. Let us know if a new patch will be coming out soon to resolve this. :)

@RGT_85 How’s it running on the switch? Nintendo life said there were issues with frame rate.

Gearbox present turned out to be very short. Now I wonder if this will be the future of E3. If renting theatre space is no longer an issue, will all the publishers have their own mini direct instead of giving their trailers to Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo?

@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

@amTranquil @Mrspacekangaroo Since when can the switch not handle it’s own games? I play both exclusive and multi-platform titles that are on the switch, with zero issue. Maybe you all should stop bashing the switch so much just because it’s Nintendo.

@NintendoAmerica @EpicGamesTR @EpicGames I've had nothing but bad luck trying to get fortnite to work on my kids switch. I'm to the point I wish I'd never bought the switch. I've spent so much time dealing with customer service for it to work for a week and then stop working

Nintendo probably won't be a problem DMCA wise so I should still be ok, but those qualifications are still pretty dumb.
