However, while an official statement has been made there is currently no solution to the issue. As it stands, a full statement on the situation has yet to be released. With that said, the Japanese Nintendo Twitter account mentioned that if the Nintendo Switch Version 12.0.3 update installs while you attempt to use a microSDXC card for the first time, the card will not work. There is currently no word as to why this is happening.

Additionally, the official English page for Nintendo customer support confirms that this latest Nintendo Switch version update has been suspended.
