What are cloud saves? Have no idea but so far, my decision to pay for this service doesn't seem too compelling. On the bright side, I'll be saving $20 so whatever.

"One per each Nintendo Account holder." Nintendo infuriates me.

Might be worth it ... if you have some pocket change laying around

Is that for 1 year?

Cloud saves are when your saves are uploaded to a server for access at anytime if you were to lose your saves due to your switch or sd card having a fault you still have your saves.

The ability to save all your data on a Nintendo server, so that you can delete stuff from your console without fear of losing that data, or if you end up losing your console or damaging it beyond repair.



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

As expected, it's still uber lame and uber greedy, now locking yet another essential and basic feature behind a paywall. Course I'm still going to pay though as I can't not play my games.

Thanks, sounds useful. If this service came with cool, non-pay-to-win perks in current games then I would buy in but so far, not interested.
