@nintendo/@NintendoAmerica Since you stupidly gave your "fixed" 12.0.3 update THE SAME DAMN VERSION NUMBER, us #NintendoSwitch owners who already unknowingly installed a botched update, CAN'T INSTALL THE FIX!

@Elliott_mw @jeffgerstmann I'd honestly pay more for this than the trash nintendo puts on their online service

I have to download Resident Evil 5 & 6 and Nintendo still haven't fixed this broken update, **** Capcom for not physically releasing each game on a cart and please hurry Nintendo, worst time for an update like this to come out just before your Tuesday E3 show

For E3, maybe Nintendo will announce “JoyCon Pros”, ones without issues.

Put in #XC2 for the first time in a year, go to check for updates, it has one, but thanks to having @nintendo/@NintendoAmerica's original botched 12.0.3 #NintendoSwitch system update, my #XenobladeChronicles2 patch errored out twice before going through. LET US INSTALL THE FIX!😠

@NintendoAmerica you have hackers running rampant using an infinite amount of items in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online the past week, are you able to do anything about it or should we just not play the game anymore. Its kinda ridiculous you arent able to fix this problem.

@FrostByteIV I'd settle for an app/game streaming of old games to a phone. Make it part of the yearly Nintendo service, similar Xbox Game Pass. I'd pay to play old Gameboy games on my phone.

Just remembered when Nintendo made a big ol trailer telling people that they were going to have to start paying for the subpar service they had for free for a year

@NintendoAmerica You need to fix this damn thing since the last update I can't download or update any game and if I try I get a error code and. I've already tried all your solutions from nintendo support and none fixed it I hope to God this gets fixed tomorrow or at least the day after.

@KnightOfGames_ I actually thought it was insanely clever and cool that they went through the effort to code such a wacky solution to the problem. This is a workaround Nintendo came up with for *LOCAL* 1V1 multiplayer, since the pro cons for the Wii U didn’t have gyro sensors.

@1128_Lizzie Duudddee this happened to me earlier, except their was an update for fortnite and it kept saying an error has occurred or some ****, but it eventually worked, Nintendo better release some update for those that were affected, I feel like they won’t give a **** about it

@AshlieS154 Early today, I had issue with our Nintendo Switch, the left joy con other buttons wasn’t working, like the arrow buttons, the capture screenshot button and ZL and L buttons. Thankfully my little brother Clemont fixed the problem!

There must be a LOT of people trying to download #GameBuilderGarage at the same time, because I keep getting an error when trying to do so lol Guess that's what happens when Nintendo makes a game that's basically Super Mario Maker but for more game genres than just platformer.

@MinitankGaming @insomniacgames I... I may have to give in and get a PS5... And this is coming from someone who owns more Nintendo consoles than Microsoft/Sony... Got a PSP, PS2 and an Xbox 360, specifically the one that has more issues with getting the red ring of death compared to the other models

How long will it be before they release a system update that fixes this problem? I shouldn’t have to do all this extra stuff just to update a game. Your reputation is plummeting Nintendo #NintendoSwitch #nintendo

@SwissArmyTin The problem isn't really the game itself its the Disney vault bullshiy tactics that Nintendo did Imagine in a couple of years where Nintendo just rereleases old GameCube games or wii games for 60 dollar price for a limited time Like now
