By then we'll have an $80 Nintendo link cable for data transfer between units.

$80? that's generous.

They will add HD rumble so you can "feel" the files transfering. Amiibo scanning so you can watch your favorite characters "carry" the save files over. Heck why a cord? Why not just a second dock?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

So far, at least.And I mean, i dont think thats an issue for these first year or so.Or are any of you guys already planning on buying a new Switch or what?



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I'm okay with the feature not being there initially but it needs to come soon!

I can see myself getting a lot of use out of my Switch but I love having OPTIONS!

I can agree with that completely!

OPTIONS! It's one of the most beautiful words I've ever come to know!

As comedian Chris Rock once said: "being rich is about having options. If you think you're rich but have little options in life, you ain't rich" or words to that effect.

Cloud data (save?) was coming to My Nintendo. It'll most likely be part of the payed services.

Still, this is a good thing. I lost my save files from a corrupted usb drive. 
My internal drives have never failed yet.

I'm not familiar with cloud saving: is that where you can store your save files onto some server somewhere?

Yes.

Thanks. That actually sounds like something I could see myself using.

The Switch being also an handheld, it can be stolen during a trip. I like to backup my Vita saves before going on vacation with it, just in case. At least if my console get stolen, I won't lose my saves for my entire game library, which could happen on the Switch now.

Jesus Christ Nintendo. It's a handheld and you can't backup saves? If you're 75 hours into Zelda and you drop it you're fucked.

This system is like 6 months too early.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

You gotta be very unlucky for that to happen, but it could indeed happen, so fair enough.Hopefully Nintendo rolls out the cloud save sooner than later.
