Nintendo still cannot transfer Switch saves (Polygon) [Up: They can, but not you]

- Start date
This should have been there at launch.
Would be ironic if the reason the Switch gets cracked is because some talented hacker loses their Zelda save and decides to do what Nintendont.

May I ask what happened to your Switch that you had to send it for repairs/replacement?

Scratched screen.
It had fallen while in the dock, right?
Guilty. That was on me.

If I ever lose my Zelda save at this point, I am never going to play that again.
I'm not paying for online, so if NIntendo ends up making the only way to backup saves through a paywall they can go screw themselves.
I'm really disappointed that the saves don't go on the cart, at least. It would have been nice of every cart came with some extra writable empty space for saves and even game updates. Keeping all that stuff together just makes sense to me, when you have a format that gives you the option to do so.

Uhh, what valid reason is there to not have local save back ups?

I would imagine they're trying to clamp down on save game fuckery in an attempt to keep their fresh new console from being hacked right away.
Stop punishing customers in the lost cause of fighting those who will crack it anyway.
They have indicated cloud saves will come with the online services, better hope they are right...
No doubt you're right. But it's still wrong to treat millions of legit customers badly by denying us the most basic things like save backups. Surely they could use some good encryption and do a checksum check when reading a backup to prevent people from screwing with the data.
And others said, it's also not acceptable if such functions get hidden behind a paywall when their online service goes into effect. Save backups to cloud should be free. And even then, I'd still want the ability to have local backups. Clouds can go down, or disappear completely when suits determine its no longer business sense to keep them going. So cloud saves alone is not good either.

It's not surprising people are making shit up, then proceeding to get angry at the things they made up, all the while ignoring reality
