your cloud save data will get thrown out faster than lakitu throwing spiny shells

At the time of this recording, no one knew Sora would actually make it in Smash.

[Hikikomori]

I prefer sd card or usb stick, for free...

[SonicK]

Some of my games aren't backed up. So do I basically have to go into them and save again for it to work for those games?

You was talking too fast lady, just take it nice and slow. 🐌

[SwobyJ]

I truly get the outrage, but 'extended' really does likely sound like over a year or more (at least until the further-out potential of Switch service shut-down), instead of like the next month or even several months. This makes it really a backup but not the 'storage' that we'd like it to be, but its still a service.

Are you heckity-flip-freaking serious?! I HAVE TO START OVER SPLATOON 2 FROM THE FREAKING BEGINNING ON MY NEW SWITCH?! Y'know nintendo, sometimes i hate you, i really do.

[diaz]

Any way to access older backups than the most recent one?

[enzoTHEferrari]

I don't know why I read the title as "How Nintendo Switch Online Could Save the World"

[randomguy-lpzy]

i've been watching fitz's videos and i was like WTF

[josecasas]

So if i sold my switch and erased my account on it and got a different switch and sined back in on it i would get everything back

[DEADSHOT-]

So the games with back ups already going Automatic with transfer to the other switch ????

[KrapXela]

Would this eventually allow you to transfer BotW data from the WiiU to the Switch?

[noclue]

wait so if your old switch was broken, could u access this cloud save and get all your data








somebody pls respond...

[RAMD]

Why is donkey kong not saving progress on switch Super Nintendo online ? Anyone help

[abdullahhagawi]

Like always Nintendo the last in services

[segunthepikachufan]

Cloud saves only supports "most games" no cloud saves for Pokemon Let's Go, Splatoon 2 and Dark Souls, so disappointing

[trashman-]

This isn't the Nintendo I remember.

[urblack]

ALL GAMES SHOULD HAVE SAVE DATA CLOUD THEY NEED TO FIX THEIR CLOUD SERVICE TO ALLOW ALL GAMES

[jeremiahquirnel]

So wait if I play my switch on a plane and my data is not backed up what will happen?

[Mariocat]

idk if cloud save is even worth it




theirs no point
