Ouch. Reason to play all those games again, or never play them again at all.
Pretty much. Better be there day one on with their online system in September (or earlier).
We're forging our own path! To hell with your "industry standards"! No matter how convenient and common sense they may be!Nintendo's incredible slacking behind industry standards claims another victim
You can't backup saved data that way?How about the ability to move saves to the SD card at a minimum.
It's not the saves that are redownlodable, it's the (digital) games that come in an archived state with the little cloud symbol to be redownloaded. The saves thing was just a conclusion people jumped to... in reality, they come already in your replacement system's memory. If the original system's memory was possible to read, which in the case of this guy it wasn't.I've specifically read that peoples' saves automatically redownload after repair. The letter they sent him says the issue he was having prevented them from being able to do this.
That's not true. For some repairs saves just remain in the console and games get deleted (thus the re-download part).I've specifically read that peoples' saves automatically redownload after repair. The letter they sent him says the issue he was having prevented them from being able to do this.
Some of these are massive games. I hit the end credits for Breath of the Wild, but I will probably like to continue my game later on.I'm sure I'm an outlier here, but tbh this wouldn't bother me for any game other than the one(s) I had been currently playing. I'm done with Zelda and Mario, so if those saves got erased I'd probably be like "ah well" and move on pretty fast to a different game.
If anything it's a kick in the pants reason to play them again lol. What good is keeping a save file around of a game that you've completed? Especially to the degree that he probably had? It's like whenever I go back and play Animal Crossing Gamecube (get the urge a couple times a year). I never re-load an old town and pick out all the weeds, first thing I do is erase the save and start again. Same thing I'd do if I wanted to go back to Breath of the Wild. Why would I go back to a completed game? What would there be to do?
that is an easy way to blow up your USB port, kind of makes transfer difficult when the console IO is destroyed or you can't even power the device on.

If not cloud saves then at least implement save transfers from system storage into microSD.
Am I mistaken or if it's a situation like this and the system turns on, can you transfer your profile + save data to another Switch then transfer it back once you get your system returned from Nintendo?
I suppose, but what would there to be to continue? And at least for Mario, Brian had gotten all 999 moons, he had seen and done everything in that game. So what good is the save file? Opening up and being like "cool" and then closing it again?Some of these are massive games. I hit the end credits for Breath of the Wild, but I will probably like to continue my game later on.
