I would submit a news article about the problem but there have not been any recent ones beyond what was written when the issue initially cropped up. I wrote up a post about the error code being thrown over in /r/NintendoSwitch here about a week ago. Sorting by new you can see a plethora of new comments from folks running into the problem every few minutes.
A few older articles about the issue here and here. It seemed to have started shortly after they rolled out the most recent firmware update. There were issues with the update, they halted it and tweeted they had pulled the update temporarily, but then shortly after they pushed it out again and said it was ok to download again.
So far, Nintendo has not acknowledged the ongoing issue and support line suggestions are “Retry the download multiple times until it starts” which for many people is hit and miss.
The issue is fairly widespread but I am surprised at this point that Nintendo has not said anything about the issue …
A downgrade port is what I’m calling any port that goes down a generation. For example, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was designed for PlayStation 3/Xbox generation, but also got a port to Nintendo Wii. Sometimes these games are more or less the same, like Call of duty is pretty much a 1 to 1 port. However, for a game like Mercenaries 2 the PS2 port is a completely different game that is a re-skin of the first mercenaries. These downgrades are like peering into another dimension and seeing what something could’ve been like on lesser hardware.
Do you guys have any memories with these games? Any examples stick out to you?
This is just not acceptable. You shaft pc players with no next gen upgrade with 21, then a year later you dont even give it to them with the new game? Par for the course for ea I guess.

EDIT: For those OOTL this also likely means that FIFA 22 will not have next gen features on PC either since FIFA followed the same schematics as Madden did last year.
So far I’ve really enjoyed Death Trash, Escape For Naraka, and Mortal Sin. What demos have you impressed by?
