No Cloud Saves After All For Nintendo Switch Games Like Pokemon And Dark Souls

PS3 had cloud saves it go to show that ninendo don’t care for there fans . Ninendo don’t like future they only want stay in the past . Manger of ninendo not doing good job and only good thing about him that saleing the switch big .

Looks like I'm in the minority here but I have no problem with this. Pokemon and Dark Souls ( and I'm assuming the others as well) have trading features that would make duping extremely easy to accomplish with cloud saves. I applaud them for not making it easy for cheaters to do their thing.

Com'on, Nintendo! wth?!

I was quite excited about paying the yearly fee for Nintendo's online service... until now. There is no point if they can't make a basic, simple decision to support online saves for major games (let alone minor games!). It's unbelievably baffling...

it doesn't support the major titles so why are people paying for this again?

no wonder it costs just $20 a year... it is missing all the key features people were expecting. is this some kind of joke? to those who thought nintendo had actually gotten its shit together... nope. clearly not. if you happen to lose your switch, have it damaged or get a save corruption, well... too bad. there goes your hundreds of hours of progress. time to start all over again. nintendo doesn't think this is a problem that needs a solution? at the very least, how about allowing people to transfer their local saves via pc transfer? the switch has already been hacked so there is no need to be concerned about piracy any longer. those who will take that road will do it regardless and have already done so. why should every switch owner be penalized?

Now don't get me wrong I love my Switch.

But ffs Nintendo are you seriously just taking the piss or what. Consistently knock the ball out the park on one swing; and yourself in the balls on the next.

This 'online service' is an absolute joke, how on God's earth are you seriously justifying giving people online access for 18 months for free, and then taking it away and locking it behind a freaking paywall.

Oh wow yeah we get some nes games, great, I'm sure I'll play those for all of 5 minutes when games like The Messenger and Dead Cells exist smh.

Oh and let's not forget that there are 'ways' of already backing up EVERY Switch game save, albeit locally and not cloud based but still.

No voice chat, selective cloud saves, shitty 'free games' and basically no transparency of information. The only reason anyone is going to pay for this is because they HAVE to if they want to enjoy the sane (keeping that typo, it's pretty apt) service they previously were.

That's not a service Nintendo, that's a ransom. And just because it's cheap doesn't exclude it from being an exploitative rip off.

This service should not exist, at the very least every title that has thus far been free to play online should remain free to play. And local save backups should be a feature of your OS not your fucking live service you money grabbing bastards, especially seeing how easy the bloody thing is to do.

Even less reason to pay for Nintendo's online membership. It seems like they're really cutting corners with it. Worse yet is the Switch has no local back up options, either.
