Days after Nintendo released the 12.0.3 update, they took it down
What you need to know
Nintendo released their 12.0.3 update a few days ago.
However, they have since pulled the update after it ended up causing some issues for users.
Nintendo’s customer service has promised to send out an update in the future..
Only a few days after Nintendo released the 12.0.3 update, it was pulled. The update, while not particularly revolutionary, did mention improving the overall “stability” of the console, whatever that means.
Twitter user @OatmealDome, who often gives commentary on Nintendo Switch updates, shared reports that some persons who have updated their Nintendo Switch systems to the latest version may be experiencing connection issues. This is concerning, due to the fact that the very problem that was supposed to be solved by the 12.0.3 update was connection to things like the Nintendo eShop.
[Firmware 12.0.3]
Nintendo’s official statement below.
– A console that has been updated to 12.0.3 may experience connection issues.
– If you try and use a microSDXC card for the first time with a Switch on 12.0.3, the requested “update” doesn’t install.
– More info soon. https://t.co/7mZRx72tfH

Another seemingly problem that has arisen for persons whose systems were fully updated is that persons who used microSDXC cards in their Nintendo Switch systems for the first time may be prompted to update their system, despite the system not actually going through the motions to update after the prompt. Nintendo has released a statement disclosing their decision to pull the update, and has promised a patch to fix the issue in the future.
現在、Nintendo Switchのシステムバージョン12.0.3の配信を一時的に見合わせております。
12.0.3に更新済みの本体をお使いの場合、環境によってはネットワーク接続ができなくなる状況を確認しています。
現在、対応を検討しておりますので、誠に申し訳ございませんが続報をお待ちください。
