  @TheAmandaMonkey @NintendoCanada I found out that you can just keep clicking on Continue (to continue the download). After about 5 tries it will continue. The download could stop due to the same error. Just continue again. Eventually it will finish.

  @PerttiMkel5 @NabbitFan730 @NintendoAmerica trust me i know the smash community pretty well if we got spyro we would get a riot , to end it off on a better note if we couldn’t get crash imo would be sora but that’s literally impossible

  @Chomper_NG Isn't K Rool, Banjo, and Diddiy the only characters in Smash not developed by a Japanese studio? And of course they're all Rareware, a company somewhat iconic to Nintendo's past. I was under the impression they are avoiding "western" IPs (I know Crash is from Europe... I think?)

  This will never happen in a million years, but... What if nintendo secretly drops the game before 2022? And they WAIT until some guy looking through the e-store finds it, and tweets about it being out. The e-shop would probably crash xD

  I'm getting error code 2123-1502 when trying to download the 3 games I just bought... I googled it and it said it was something about an update. So, is it still not resolved then? I wanna download my games asap 😩 #NintendoSwitch #nintendo #nintendoerror @NintendoEurope

  @NintendoUK Would love to take advantage of this sale, but that now-infamous update etc has rendered that impossible like for many others. Constant error code 2123-1502 & yes I tried DNS settings & everything else many, many times. Awaiting patiently for 12.0.4 or whatever is needed...

  @grapefruitanju @RogeeRoger MY problem with this is that Smash fans will get a cool big pick like this and be like. "Ugh who's this, give us real icons." Then ask for some Mario spinoff character who hasn't been in a game in over 20 years (who Nintendo probably doesn't even own btw)

  @DolphinDTM Desperately trying to download it but Nintendo UK EShop Error code 2123-1502 🥲😩 #nintendo #NintendoSwitch

  @musticlas @RedGamingTech That's the point. What I'm getting at is even a 'Switch Pro' isn't likely to be running STALKER 2 anytime soon, hence cloud streaming. But the Xbox has plenty of games that can run on Switch hardware that a cloud streaming service could kill sales for Nintendo in the eshop for.

  @FalKoopa_ As much as I desperately would love a FP3, I think as long as the last character isn't mfn Cinderace or some boring *** Nintendo product placement, I'm good lmao. The obvious ones like Crash and Dante but imo I'd prefer a rep from an absent genre (Jill Valentine, Doomguy, etc)

  @UntrainedWizard @Korlis I tried myself and clearing cache didn’t make the trick… BUT, then I read somewhere that if you see the error and try to download again, then see the error, try again… eventually it starts downloading. It worked for me in my 3rd attempt. But yeah, Nintendo better fix it soon 🙏🏼

  if any of you freaks have any old retro consoles, specifically nintendo or controllers or games or anything like that and you want to part with them or sell them i am buying. even if they're broken

  @snuffles @NintendoAmerica I don’t think it was a problem back in the day releasing so many Mario party games at full price, because they were so different and the content was very good. The problem is the lack of content and updates that the last one had, it could’ve been nice for this one to be just dlc

  @ShadyHusky_ @Pokemon the problem is not much that nintendo don't know how market works, more everything not being about you.

  @MojangSupport @NintendoCanada @Minecraft HELP IT WON'T LET ME SIGN INTO MY MICROSOFT ACC FOR MINECRAFT FOR NINTENDO SWITCH. It gives me this error called crossbow and I think that since I've payed for Nintendo membership, I really shouldn't be having this issue.

  @LightXXVI ok but you are aware that works the other way around too right? especially within a Nintendo community where people are much more likely to know and be excited for the star of a cartoony collect a thon platformer. he could have worded it better, but this is such a non issue dude

  @glaedrax I was going to wait for Metroid Prime 4 to buy a Switch, but I am such a 2D Metroid fan (Finally Nintendo WTF 19 years?!) That it's time. (Switch Lite have stick drift issues?)

  Ovis (@Ovis_Cantus) reported 50 minutes ago

  @Infilament Of course, it's born from Nintendo calling their own internet service "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection" back in the Wii days, and there being a button on Brawl's menu labeled that way. It's persisted as a term for 13 years somehow, though I have seen it less in the past few months.

  Kept trying to place my order on @NintendoUK website but according to your ****** website my card details weren't valid. Spoke to my bank and they said it's the merchant's problem. Now the Metroid Dread Special Edition is out of stock. **** y'all Nintendo.

  Nintendo hasn’t even acknowledged that this is an ongoing problem that it’s trying to address. Instead, the corporation is basically telling affected users through its silence “Too bad, so sad.” You can’t run away from bricking consoles, Nintendo.

  I really hope Nintendo fixes the online issues that have been going on the Switch rn since the recent botched update. They apparently fixed 1 issue but havent fixed some of the extra random disconnects. I had it disconnect when my AC island was open but with no visitors lmao
