This week’s Switch firmware update has been a bit of a mess for some. After Nintendo began distribution of version 12.0.3 on Monday, it was pulled due to various issues. The update went back up soon after.

Unfortunately, some Switch owners who installed version 12.0.3 are still experiencing issues. There are reports floating around that impacted users cannot download purchased games from the eShop.

Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Nintendo has now fully addressed the issues surrounding Switch’s latest firmware update, version 12.0.3. All system owners can access the upgrade once again.

Version 12.0.3 went live a couple of days ago. However, Nintendo temporarily pulled the update after detecting a couple of issues.

If you previously downloaded this week’s update, no further action is required. Those that have been experiencing issues with new microSDXC cards over the past couple of days simply need to connect to the internet and install version 12.0.3.

Not long after Nintendo started distribution of the new 12.0.3 firmware for Switch, the update was pulled. The company has now commented on the situation.

According to Nintendo, those that have already installed the update may experience connectivity issues in some instances. Additionally, those that attempt to use a microSDXC card for the first time will be unable to do so.

Nintendo says it is currently working to solve the issues with version 12.0.3. We’ll report back as soon as we have another status update.

Nintendo has pulled Switch update version 12.0.3

Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Last night, Nintendo started distribution of a new 12.0.3 firmware update for Switch. It didn’t seem like anything too major given how the patch notes only mentioned stability improvements.

It appears that this update has since been pulled. If you didn’t download version 12.0.3 already (note that the system grabs these in the background, so it may be waiting to install for you still), there’s currently no way to access it. Never before has a similar situation happened with Switch firmware updates.

Obviously there was a reason for its removal, though it will likely be back up eventually. Without any sort of official notice from Nintendo, we can only be left to speculate why it was pulled.

Switch firmware version 12.0.0 seems to include code related to dock update

Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

If you’re a Switch owner looking for new features and functionality, the console’s new 12.0.0 firmware may have come as a disappointment. The official notice mentioned that Nintendo merely fixed an issue with save data backups. However, after coming through the contents of the update, dataminers have come across an interesting discovery.

As relayed by Twitter user OatmealDome, version 12.0.0 apparently allows for the dock’s internal firmware to be updated. It’s a curious addition as there’s not much to the device – it only has USB chips, a MyDP to HDMI converter, and flash memory to store its firmware. It doesn’t seem as though Nintendo has ever issued an update for the dock, and there may not be much of a purpose in doing so given its limited technology.
