@ErickADub No, it doesn't. Nintendo pulled the update because it was supposed to fix an eShop bug, but people reported back that the bug wasn't fixed. That's why it was pulled. Don't ******* lie to people.

@3DAllStarsFan @fireheart4560 @NintendoAmerica Arms: The problem with arms was that while it was interesting, there wasnt enough going on to diversify matches, that being said, i still on occasion hear about the great character design. LM3: heard nothing but good things about its gameplay and characters for quite a while...

@DemeechYT (1)The biggest downfall with the Wii U apart from marketing was its focus on the casual market. While that isn't a problem, Nintendo's strategy alienated hardcore gamers which unfortunately is what big name developers look for. Cont...

@MisterSheeple Nah it's not gonna mess up my switch, but this explains the crash I had playing CTR last night. It kind of messes with the SD card stuff, hopefully Nintendo fixes this minor issue quickly.

@Splatoon_Mike93 As far as I know, you can’t, probably to prevent any issues that could be caused by downgrading. Best thing to do right now is wait for Nintendo rerelease the update.

@MisterSheeple @NinEverything Already did the whole works. Even got Nintendo support. Recovery, Maintenance, nothing. At the very end even tried initializing. It got even worse, and now the moment it starts, error code.

@ActualAero Fr, I have no problem with the fighters they've chosen for DLC since Nintendo basically threw darts at a bunch of headline acts. That being said, if E3 comes and goes and Dragalia Lost still doesn't have a Smash Rep, I might be a little annoyed.

@Xander16594609 @ErickADub Don't listen to this. They're looking for attention by fear-mongering. The update will not corrupt your SD Card, nor will it disable updates. Nintendo just tried to fix a bug and screwed up in doing so, so they pulled it. Your Switch is fine.

How Nintendo Ban works: they ban you in the game you hacked in and making a new account won't fix it. You need a new switch. Believe it or not but that's a warning. The 2nd time they will ban your account so getting new switch won't fix it but making a new account will work.

@NintendoAmerica Putting a character in fortnite doesn't "ruin" them in any way at all. If you feel that way then sorry bud thats your own personal problem

@Yellowflower42 @ErickADub This might be legitimate, although it's not a sign of corruption. Nintendo deployed the update in an attempt to fix an error code received from the eShop, but the update didn't work. I'll ask this person for more info as well. Thanks.

(@Splatoon_Mike93) reported
My Switch firmware got updated last night to version 12.0.3 Now I find out Nintendo pulled the update because it was causing issues. Is there anyway to downgrade back to the previous update so I don't have whatever issues the update was causing?

@ToonTris @GameXplain Has nintendo released some sort of statement for those who downloaded the 12.0.3 update as how to fix the downloading problem in the mean time as we wait for a fix. Like, is there any way to downgrade ur switch to an older version?

'Error message An error has occurred. ... Procedure •This indicates that there may be an internal problem with the system. Turn the NINTENDO GAMECUBE off, then unplug the system.' This implies that you should never turn it back on and is really funny to me but is so sad ;-;

@Mlickles @ErickADub Nope. These claims are baseless. The only confirmed issue is that people can't download things, which might explain why Nintendo pulled this update.

@itssimontime I updated my Switch last night. So far, I haven't had any problems. I wish @Nintendo would allow users to group their games through the interface already.

@Striking_zebra @CallmeLizzzzzzz While it would be possible for Reimu to enter because her games are now available through Steam, it is severely compromised because of the profits Nintendo would make from her. After all, even if fan-service sells, it also needs to sell copies of their own games and DLCs.

I suggest taking your SD card out of you have one, if you have the update installed. -(a small one I have encountered) repeated errors when using direct crossplay I’m sure @NintendoAmerica will fix this soon, but I’m afraid of the lawsuits they might encounter if they don’t act

@Adam19668424 @ErickADub Nintendo will likely release another update that reverts this one's changes. Just wait until then. Seeing that people are seemingly unable to download things, I'm guessing Nintendo is scrambling to fix this, so expect a new update really soon.

@UmbraTrainer Maybe Sony should take a note from Nintendo's book and issue No Crunch policies so their developers don't go insane.

@WahooMan43 @DemeechYT And thats the issue, I'll take quality over quantity. Albeit smaller, the Switch's original first party games are better. The wii u ports I missed are a nice extra which is why I'm not entirely against porting them. At least Nintendo is trying to add something new to them somehow
