    @slowbeef The problem for me is, the big conferences (Xbox, Ubisoft, Nintendo, devolver) isn't E3 from my understanding.

  • Audinitia Audinitia 🐰 (@Audinitia) reported

    @PastryWaffles_ It's an error that has happened with the last system update. I have seen it around a lot (and have the same issue too). I think nintendo is aware. You can only wait this one out 😔

  • jyggly André (he/him) (@jyggly) reported

    (2017 Twitch gave the explicit OK to costream Nintendo Directs and anecdotally nobody has gotten in trouble since, but we haven’t had explicit word about any future streams. Presumably it’s still OK because there’s no indication Nintendo changed their mind)

    @NintendoUK having 2123-1502 for a couple of days. Turns out it's widespread. The fixes on your website not working. Are you looking into this? System useless at the moment.

    I was gonna stream myself watching the Nintendo E3 direct But then I remembered Twitch's broken copyright and DMCA system for music So yeah... I'll probably talk about the direct during my normal stream though

  • Doireann_H ✨🌸Doireann🌸✨ (@Doireann_H) reported

    Turned on the switch to update Fortnite so I can play for the evening and was greeted with "error 2123-1502". Turns out it's not just my switch and it's a Nintendo issue, but the anxiety in me is terrified they won't be able to fix it and I'll lose my AC island and Merengue :(

    @Reality47476204 @Cry_Zero @NextGenPlayer The problem is that nintendo online is overpriced and it barely works

  • XonKeD Josh (@XonKeD) reported

    So #E32021 for Nintendo is 3 Days away; and I’m curious. What character would you like to see in that you’re almost positive no one else wants or knows about? Hard Mode:No Dante,Crash,Slayer,FNAF, Or any other character who is already represented, Spirits Included.

    @GoblinMoxxi uhg, the worst. I've been out of gaming for a bit. I assume Nintendo still hasn't offered a fix?
