Why some of your Nintendo Switch games do not support cloud savings

Players have been eagerly awaiting the launch of Switch Online by Nintendo for more than a year. Although the main feature of the Switch Online service is the ability to play online games with other players, one of the main features of this service is the online backup of the cloud. The reason why players want the cloud to record so badly is that they prevent you from losing all the progress of your game if something happens to your console. The Switch Online Service is supposed to be launched in mid-September and Scuttlebutt suggests that the service should be the big topic of the earthquake delayed by Nintendo Direct that was not broadcast last week.

While we are waiting for the Nintendo Direct broadcast, there have been some details that have slipped on the Nintendo website were intended to be spoken in the Direct. One of this information was the card of the game Yoshi Crafting World. Few details about cloud-based backup technology have also appeared on the Nintendo website, and one of these details suggests that not all Nintendo Switch games will support cloud backups – which disrupted many Nintendo Switch.

Two of the most anticipated games for the Switch are Pokémon Let's Go Eevee and Let's Go Pikachu, and they are among the games lacking support for cloud backup games. Warnings, including with these games, indicate "Nintendo Switch Online Subscription (sold separately) and Nintendo Account required for online gaming." This game does not support Save Data Cloud backup, not available in all countries. same warning is at the bottom of the Splatoon 2 page.

Other games lacking this feature include flagship titles like Dead Souls Remastered, Dead Cells, FIFA 19 and NBA 2K19. So, what gives? Nintendo sent a statement to Gameinformer saying: "The vast majority of Nintendo Switch games will support Save Data Cloud backup. Games This feature would, for example, find items exchanged with other players or return to a higher online multiplayer ranking that had been lost. To ensure fair play, the Save Data Cloud backup may not be enabled for these games. To prevent Save Data Cloud backups from unfairly affecting online multiplayer rankings, the feature will not be enabled in Splatoon 2. "No cloud allows these games to take advantage of flaws."
