Nintendo Switch launched one year ago. Your save data is still at risk.

We love the Nintendo Switch. We just wish we didn't have to say a prayer every time we turn it on.

Sony introduced cloud saves to consoles in March 2011, exactly seven years ago and Microsoft quickly followed suit

Why dafuq is such a concept still foreign to Nintendo? They don’t even allow you to transfer Switch saves to external devices.

solvemymaze2675d ago

Agreed. I love Nintendo, but some of their policies are a bit backwards.

Sgt_Slaughter2674d ago

Most of those backwards things are so simple to fix, too. I blame the way some Japanese companies are run/their mentalities, old school and resistant to change it seems. I could be wrong on that but some other developers also seem that way from there.

Gaming_1st2674d ago

Surely they will allow cloud saves with the paid online service.

Jaypi032674d ago

I agree, sometimes it feels like the gaming industry is held back by such simple problems. Remember when Epic accidentally turned on cross play in their games with a flip of a switch? Now Nintendo can't do cloud saves even though they have servers for things like Pokemon Bank.

Segata2674d ago

Let's see what happens when Switch launches it's paid online service in September.

I wish they would just use cloud saves.

Fullmetalevolust2674d ago

Maybe I'm uninformed in saying this but perhaps the cartridge could at least have a saving component. I feel like the save files aren't big. Didn't cartridges save games back in the snes days ? Maybe I'm backward, or maybe Nintendo is with their implementations.
There's a good chance cloud saving is a coming with the paid online subscription, or in the very least it should be part of the package.

solvemymaze2674d ago

Yeah they did have a save feature on them.
I can't see the EEPROM chips being that expensive these days to save the game.

You've hit the nail on the head with the paid subscription, I think this will utilize cloud saves.

notachance2674d ago

even the current 3DS cartridge can save files, not sure why they decided to not do that with Switch

DillyDilly2674d ago (Edited 2674d ago )

The save data will always be at risk until they let us save them on External Hard Drives (something Sony lets us do)

AuraAbjure2674d ago (Edited 2674d ago )

Can't believe the fuckin Switch is similar to the Wii U in how our saves are permanently stuck on the original console for keeps. Gaylord fockor consoles. I really liked how Reggie disrespected our intelligence by saying the fact it's a mobile console hybrid is why saves can't be backed up. That nature of the console has nothing to do with why saves can't be backed up whatsoever. Facts.

Treasure Hunter Simulator review - ChristCenteredGamer

CCG writes - "Overall, I like the concept behind this title. Technically, it's playable enough on the Switch despite some control issues, and the PC port is quite playable after a simple settings tweak. Morally, aside from some references to weapons and religious practices of other cultures, this is a good game for almost any age and is even educational. If you want a relaxed game with a history focus and can tolerate some annoying controls on the Switch, the Switch port (and PC with some stability tweaks) of Treasure Hunter Simulator is recommended."

Pretty much just clickbait opinion. IMO, Switch 2 is everything I loved about Switch, but much more refined and perfected. As someone with a huge library of physical Switch 1 games, I’m stoked with the enhanced performance on my existing games, and very excited for the future once devs start optimizing engines for the platform. Game Chat is excellent, the controllers are excellent. Anyways, I love it so far.

OtterX3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Yea, I think it's a great handheld especially. I'm playing it daily and going back to my huuuuge library of games I already had, but with better performance.

My biggest issue with it though is that they got lazy and used an almost carbon copy of Switch 1's UI. I was hoping for something more evolved and new that screams "new system", but a lot of the times I end up feeling like I'm on the Switch 1, just faster. It honestly feels more like a Switch Pro than a Switch 2.

I do still love it though, regardless.

Switch 2 is basically a more powerful Switch and that's what everyone had been asking for. They know what they're getting into.
Had mine for a couple of days and I'm having a blast with both Switch 2 and 1 games.

Profchaos22h ago

Switch 2 is what I wanted a more powerful switch im happy with it.

Do I wish it was oled sure does it bother me not much

strayanalog21h ago

Wake up and smell the plastic. The sky isn't falling here, your expectations just weren't met. You expected Nintendo to not play it safe with their (best-selling) console, as they have since after the Gamecube.
Thankfully, in gaming, not everything has to be "technically accomplished" or completely different to prove its existence to bring inspiration to the table. Consoles are remembered by their software and the Switch 2 just got here.

GhostScholar21h ago

The idea that the focus on third party is bad is really dumb. They only have really 3 launch titles and one of the issues with the switch was its inability to run a lot of the biggest games. They have addressed both of those issues by highlighting third party support.
