We've got half a dozen threads on the Switch forum's first page talking about the 12.0.3 download issues. I hope Nintendo are working tirelessly to get this rectified. If this continues to be an issue going into Tuesday's E3 eShop Discount Deal special, folks are going to be frustrated and upset.
Seems pretty obvious to me that 2022 is their second wind push. Which falls in line perfectly with new hardware releasing in fall 2021.

An Nvidia leaker has basically just shared the internal SoC model number for the next Switch, and it’s consistent with the Orin line. Obviously treat as rumor, grain of salt, yada yada, you know the drill. But dang. If this turns out to be the case, it’s going to be a massive leap. Even if they restrict clock speeds it would still likely be in the ballpark of a portable PS4… at least, when docked.
This isn’t the first time a leak has pointed to Orin, but I’ve been hesitant to accept it because it’s just, almost too good to be true. Nintendo hasn’t really focused on power for so long I don’t want to get my hopes up. But the Iwata era is over, and the switch is a clear break from the fisher price approach of years past. Maybe now that they finally found a foothold that can give them a permanent niche in the market, they are realizing it’s time to double down and start focusing on improving the technology. There’s a lot of games that struggle to run well on switch and I’m sure Nintendo sees that. I’m sure third parties have expressed their desire for hardware that can at least allow their games to run with satisfactory performance. So I suppose it’s not that far out in left field.
Of course, it’s possible this is not for the revision, but the successor that comes a few years later. But even if that’s the case, I’m extremely excited for the next generation Switch.

If Bayo 3 isn't due out by next year, then I don't know what to say. It's been long enough.
Ditto with BotW2.
Prime 4 gets a pass, since it restarted development and lost a couple of years of progress, resultantly.
Pretty much this. I'd put more pressure on Bayonetta 3 though because that was announced three and a half years ago. Breath of the Wild's sequel's been in development as late as December 2018. And Metroid Prime 4... the rumours are becoming boring. I'll take it when it comes. And it bloody better be finished.
Huh, they really shouldn't have revealed Bayonetta 3 so long ago, @TheJGG .... That really needs to be in Nintendo's Direct & get a release date or at least a window! Then, Platinum is working on Babylon's Fall with Square Enix & that game is well overdue getting a release date, too
@BruceCM I think there's a very good chance of Babylon's Fall getting a release date announced today as it's one of the main focuses of the presentation.
Yeah, we'll certainly hear more about it, at least, @Grumblevolcano .... Whether they're ready to give a definite date or it's a rather vague sometime next year is another matter but I'll be watching the SE stream to see
