Earlier this week, Nintendo released system update 12.0.3 for the Nintendo Switch, but many users have since reported that both games and updates are failing to download since installing the new firmware. Those running into the issue are met with error code 2123-1502, for which Nintendo's customer support site offers steps on how to potentially fix it. However, users affected by the bug are saying Nintendo's advice doesn't solve the problem in the majority of cases.The firmware update--which the patch notes say offers "general system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience"--was paused on Wednesday after Nintendo announced that it discovered the patch was causing network connectivity and microSDCX card issues. The rollout of the update then resumed a few hours later, but that didn't stop users from running into problems when attempting to download their purchased games.A lengthy Reddit thread is full of Switch owners who have encountered the issue as well as those offering possible solutions. Nintendo customer support is aware of the problem and walking users through resetting their system cache over the phone, but there are still those who say this doesn't fix the issue. One proposed solution is to keep selecting "retry download" until it eventually works, while others say that clearing your Wi-Fi settings and then re-entering them may also help.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Almost a decade after the release of guitar-teaching game Rocksmith, Ubisoft has announced a sequel: Rocksmith+, a subscription-based instructing platform with things like community tutorials. The game was revealed during Ubisoft Forward 2021 at E3, with a beta starting today, June 12.You can sign up for the Rocksmith+ closed beta for PC now and use an existing dongle for support (if you still have one). A dongle isn't required, however, as you can also use just a guitar (acoustic, electric, or bass) and a phone. Rocksmith+ has converted into a subscription service this time, offering a large library of songs and guitars to choose from to start your guitar strumming journey.But the library isn't fixed, as Rocksmith+ will get new tracks weekly. And in addition to the songs, Ubisoft said in a blog post that practice tools and "other features" will be added regularly for free.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Far Cry 6 got a new trailer during the E3 2021 Ubisoft Forward presentation, showing protagonist Dani (female version) and a small group of escapees on a fishing boat that is quickly boarded by the villainous Anton Castillo. It sets the stage for a major confrontation we're sure to have with the character, played by Giancarlo Esposito.The Far Cry 6 cinematic appeared to be in-engine rather than a pre-rendered cutscene. Castillo ruthlessly executes a woman on the boat before pointing to a young boy, who happens to be his own son.This is certainly the ruthlessness we expect from the actor, given his past roles on Breaking Bad and ongoing role in The Mandalorian.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
