FIFA 18 and 19 don't support Cloud Saving either. Basically, any online game with the potential for cheating blocks it.
Monster Hunter Generations does though.

Splatoon 2, Pokémon Let's Go, FIFA 19 and other games seemingly don't support cloud saves [Update]
- Thread starter atmuh
- Start date
As with many modern features, Nintendo has to be dragged into the present kicking and screaming, and they'll still screw it up somehow.
Hey guys, when cheating was relatively new, client and server already compared the save and rolled back if necessary: It doesn't support the OS cloud save functionality because it already has one.
If you can't play on a different device and start playing with the same character/progression, then it clearly doesn't already have online saves built in like some are saying. Anyway, best see how this plays out rather than start kicking off before knowing the details (ERAs modus operandi, I know).
The games I would really care about backing up aren't online really, but still. Kinda ridiculous.
It does have online saves, but they are tied to both the system and account your Nintendo Network ID is connected to, at least right now. It's possible that this could change with the 6.0 firmware update. Hopefully it does
Let's hope that they switch to server-side profiles if this is the case then. The current setup is dumb.
So I can throw my Switch in a river, buy a new one, login to my NNID and my Splatoon 2 save will be there? No? So it's not a cloud save is it.
You can most likely choose to MANUALLY back up the save and scum it. That's the most reasonable explanation. It's on by default, but developers are only advised to turn it off if they have a good reason (cheating etc.)
And apparently there's no limit on the data you can back up.
Splatoon does kind of need the cloud service....
pffff
one of the games where i would actually pay for the sub to backup my save and it's not supported?
Nintendo can shove it with this shit. i'm not gonna pay for their shit online until the game is supported. i have 500+ hours and the least they should offer is a safeguard for this.

You should be able to from what I've heard. It's just not using the OS Cloud Save functionality, it has its own one.
It sounds more like it's poorly implemented and currently takes your system into account. We don't know what they are saving on their server. Why lock stores when online is off?
Yet again, this is a solved problem for literally everyone else in the industry.

Maybe they're worried about spoofing the cloud to get modified save games onto the box?
Or the discovered they fucked something up, and this is the safest way of working around it.
I seem to recall commenting that cloud sync was more complex than you might expect, the other day. Well, this is Nintendo coming to the same conclusion.

It doesn't. Splatoon 2 partially uploads some data to Nintendo servers (to display your data on the Nintendo Switch Online app) but if you login on a different Switch data isn't synced.
Rare Blade Rolls seemed to be the most likely case.
Xenoblade has cloud saves though.
Sure let me buy another Switch and test it. Or I just won't because I simply don't wanna spend money on another Switch.
If it's to prevent cheating can't they make it so that you can only download your Splatoon 2 save once a month for example? You can't really save scum, but if your Switch breaks you can restore your save... and then there's an one month cooldown. It would still suck but at least it would be *something* lol

I've heard of rollbacks from cheaters early on, what does that even mean then?
Why the system? I wonder if you could request your data be moved to a different system.
Even if you unlink your account from Switch A and link it to Switch B?
Yep, no need to speculate anymore, it is right there.
Smash is missing this warning, so yay I guess?
Does FIFA on switch support micro transactions? if so, you have that information on your EA Account, I doubt is just cheating the reason, might be something temporal and technical in how those games handle save files.
Nintendo:
no servers, shitty ass NES games with Online, Voice Chat over a stupid smartphone App and MAYBE Cloud Saves

seemed like it'll be not supported in all online heavy games, but apparently MK8D and arms have it.
I really think people need to slow down here, it would be very strange if there was no way to back up saves for this game. It's very possible the game will be updated to sync your save data with the data on Nintendo's servers without using the OS cloud save feature.
Right but other than the save location, they may as well be local for all the good it does you when playing on different devices. As you say, perhaps part of the v6 firmware will enable functionality to share saved data between devices.
I think we should wait until the actual online implementation takes place before we call this inexcusable or insane. There's likely a Splatoon 2 update coming at the same as the Direct so it's possible they're adding some changes on how Splatoon profiles move from system to system. We have no idea.
Will probably be bad, just unsure how we are supposed to call something we haven't seen in action "insane".

maybe, but this is what happens when you announce a service years in advance and say next to nothing about it all the way until the month of release
