Why Capcom?

But why

Deleted member 10737 · Sep 17, 2020

are they gonna make a whole other service to upload your saves?

Neoxon · Sep 17, 2020

Why though?

WhoaIsThatMars · Sep 17, 2020

yikes, I sure hope the Pro launches with it then.

Zhao_Yun · Sep 17, 2020

Looking at my 800h MHW save, I would be terrified of losing that one, so big yikes from me.

Crazyorloco · Sep 17, 2020

Probably temporarily. They'll add it or figure some other way.

Jmdajr · Sep 17, 2020

Isn't this all part of the Nintendo online experience?

Deleted member 31092 · Sep 17, 2020

It could simply be because Capcom implemented its own online account saves, no need to panic yet. Some online games do this.

Please change this Capcom.
You support cloud saves on World.
Why is this different?

Skel1ingt0n · Sep 17, 2020

Like for real getting a Switch Lite as an extra console when on the road has just been terrible experience. Pretty much pointless.

I MUCH prefer the Lite for handheld play... but the 20% of the time I'm home I'd much rather play on the TV for obvious reasons on my regular Switch.

My Blue Heaven · Sep 17, 2020

Would love to know the reasoning behind any developer not supporting some form of save backup. Totally bizarre.

Murdy Plops · Sep 17, 2020

I'm sure the data is saved in their servers, ala fortnite

ALSO - I imagine this wipes away any chance of me getting to replay it on a rumored Switch Pro or whatever.

You can still transfer your save locally just not via the cloud, or capcom will have their own system implemented.

.exe · Sep 17, 2020

Not this shit again. World has cloud storage on Steam and presumably on consoles. So why?

Yeah but it's a complete pain in the ass.

Though I suppose you're right that does solve the last part. I'll edit.

Capcom bein Crapcom xD

Why would a new Switch HW be any different? Seems to be a Capcom issue, not a HW/SW limitation

No.
Cloud Saves are supported by default, the developers themselves have to disable them. So it's Capcom's fault.

So I'm screwed if I get this game at launch and then buy Switch pro down the line? Yay.

NPTinker · Sep 17, 2020

I'll wait for capcom to explain this

you can transfer your save as long as you have access to both devices at the same time.

no, unless it is like animal crossing. if it's like pokemon you can do local system transfers with no issue.

SpottieO · Sep 17, 2020

Uhhh well I'm waiting to play until Switch Pro comes out then

Renna Hazel · Sep 17, 2020

It says TBD on the eshop page. It's probably just not finalized yet.

I wouldn't have the problem of having my save file stuck on my current Switch when trying to get it onto the Pro if it is released after MH's release.

SnazzyNaz · Sep 17, 2020

This actually lends credence to the theory that this isn't an exclusive. Capcom have used their own proprietary apps in the past for cross saves between 3DS and the WiiU/Switch versions of games. Seeing as how there isn't another Nintendo platform this time around this could mean cross save support between different console/PC versions of the game.

Lelouch0612 · Sep 17, 2020

It happens everytime, the page will be updated closer to release

cowbanana · Sep 17, 2020

Eh... I will not buy it then. And I fucking love MHW. Not being able to manually backup save games on the Switch is the dumbest shit ever. I keep backups of all my important PS4 saves, including MHW, on my FTP + HD.

Why, Capcom?

mentallyinept · Sep 17, 2020

What the hell?

MH:W saves backup on PS4 why the hell is it not ok on Switch?

It speficially states that cloud save isn't supported, that doesn't happen every time.

Also every international Nintendo site states the same.

treasureyez · Sep 17, 2020

Not a deal-breaker for me, but what even is the point of having Cloud Save on NSO when most of the games that you'd actually want to secure your progression in don't support it? (Pokemon, Splatoon, Animal Crossing...)

unicornKnight · Sep 17, 2020

Good, NSO is already great value with all these NES, SNES games no need to add more.

It does happen all the time before games release though. Tokyo Mirage Sessions' page said it didn't support cloud saves even after it released even though it did.

That's not to say that it might not be the case here, but I'd say it's unlikely that it doesn't support cloud saves.

Japanmanx3 · Sep 17, 2020

Maybe they'll do the Animal Crossing back up save thing then.

Definitely will flop like all Pokémon games and New Horizons flopped. /s

Aleh · Sep 17, 2020

Noticing a pattern here. The biggest games in Japan don't support cloud saves. Pokémon, Splatoon, Animal Crossing and Monster Hunter. Hmm.

FrostweaveBandage · Sep 17, 2020

It's just so weird that these are the hills game companies die on. How hard is it to have a place where saves can be backed up or uploaded? How much data can there really be?

yes, i was definitely referring to its sales performance in a thread specifically about the decision to not use nintendo's online save backup. lol

Yahabane · Sep 17, 2020

Why Capcom?! It's not like save scumming does much in MH games.

HOUSEJoseph · Sep 17, 2020

This has happened before. The news may not be accurate. I would wait until closer to release.

Mauricio_Magus · Sep 17, 2020

I really hope this changes, World supports it on PS4 IIRC.
