We have no way to move his zelda/mk8/spla2oon progress from his nintendo account he was using on my switch to his own system...

He has to start everything over...

This needs fixed like 6 months ago.

Have you tried saving the data from your Switch to the Micro SD card then transfer it to the other Switch?
Waiting: Kingdom Hearts 3, Fire Emblem Warriors, RISE: Race The Future, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Yooka Laylee(Switch)and Super Mario Odyssey.
I'm almost certain they're holding it back for the paid subscription. It's really dumb they don't have it now. It's one of the big things keeping me from getting a second Switch.

Save data is tied to the system memory for now.

Doesn't matter if he called Nintendo... There's no way to move save data to a different system at the moment (unless it is sent in for repair and they send a replacement).

I'm sure they could send it in and Nintendo can do the transfer themselves.

It's Nintendo, the answer to any question asking if the Switch can do something is "NintendNo.
PS4 - Because it was the next gen console i was the most interested in.
Warrior - Because i usually pick the Warrior class in MMORPGs when i played them.

I mean, it's the solution at the present. The system has the means in place to do this correctly. Saves are linked to the account signed on, so moving accounts from system to system should be a thing. I thought this already WAS a thing.

http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22467/~/nintendo-accounts-on-nintendo-switch-%28faq%29

Aren't you supposed to be able to move accounts so long as the account is only active on one system? This might just work for the purchased games and not the saves though.

But regardless, if the choice is between you losing progress and your child losing progress man up and lose your progress.

The fact that we can't backup our save files frightens me the most.
I also own a PS4 and had a corruption of save data twice so far (Skylanders ~30h, Lego Dimensions 100h+). The games were unable to load the save data. Fortunately I could restore the save data because of the USB backup I had (lost a view hours though).
I don't care if I have to pay 20 EUR for cloud backup, but not being able to backup my save data at all is really a shame. :-(

If systems weren't been modded via custom save files then we wouldn't have this problem. This is just them being smart

Hey @RPGMaster95
I'm sure this will be implemented TC, its obvious how bare-bones the whole OS/UX is, it seems like it was rushed and and many options did not make the cut. It might also have to do with some fear of opening up a piracy backdoor, and that's why it's taking them longer.

I think the only things you can do now are the following:

- trade devices with son, you get the new one, but he has all his saves. Or is there some deeper issue with who gets which one?

- Contact Nintendo via all possible channels and social media, ask friends or just acquaintances from the internet to also campaign that this is a really unacceptable way of leaving things in a current gen system. Let them know we're not happy. Hopefully they speed their work/decisions and let us manage saves like on any normal system.

Don't get too angry and frustrated, that will just take enjoyment away from the fun you can have with your son and/or Switch.

I certainly wish you that a resolution to this issue comes ASAP. You're not the only one, in fact you're one of many that are irritated/annoyed/angry/disappointed, etc.

What is this logic? Remember when Sony leaked credit card information of 100,000's of users? Since they're gonna get hacked at some point anyway, they might as well just add that info next to peoples' username. Maybe even remove the option to not save credit card info when you enter it to save their loyal paying customers the painstakingly awful experience of entering your credit card info more than once.

You and me buddy, we should make a company where we come up with these great ideas and offer them to other companies. We could make a fortune.

Nintendo too focused on ramping up console production to satisfy the artificial demand and hiring 3000 people to pretend to stand in line in Tokyo for a chance to purchase a Switch.

Not everyone is a nerd who lives on videogame message boards and knows every intricacy about a system. 

Also it's 2017 and every other platform has had save backups since last generation so it's understandable to be confused about Nintendo not having it.

    Except leaking credit card info isnt a feature, browsers and saves are actual common features. And while sony my get hacked, ps4 and xbox one are retalively secure, all of nintendos past systems have easily hacked relatively quickly and from what ive heard progress has been made on the switch as well. I know youre the resident board fanboy but maybe pull your head out of your ass and admit when nintendo is wrong. Im a huge fan and own hundreds upon hundreds of their games (legal payed for if you were gonna accuse me of piracy) and i still love them despite their flaws but it doesnt mean i wont call them out as it can only make them better

    Some of the things they aren't even telling us beforehand like the sd card issue. What else are they hiding from us? Yeah it's fine to be educated but Nintendo is deliberately hiding things so that makes it hard. Plus to be fair almost every device today can be backed up and transferred, so it would be easy to assume that's just standard.

    I'm not sure how people didn't get that from the beginning. There are PS4 and XB1 games too large for one 50gb bluray. Of course it was going to be an issue on Switch with max 32gb cartridges. Hell, we knew before launch that there would be digital games too large for the internal storage (DQH1/2). You're also acting like Nintendo themselves are doing this and not third parties. Somehow they were able to squeeze games onto DVDs for the 360 but won't do the same thing for Switch, and you guys want to blame Nintendo? Absurd.

    Supply issues because of Apple.

    It's funny that Nintendo is the only one with supply issues. Thousands of products use LCD tech yet they have no problem coming out.

    Wrong.
    https://9to5mac.com/2017/06/21/iphone-8-ram-flash-storage-chips/

    The reports from months ago said the issues was getting materials for LCD tech, not memory.

    Doesn't change the fact that other companies have supply issues as well.

    What other companies are the subjects of the Nintendo Switch board? None? Quit trying so desperately to defend Nintendo.

    I pointed out his BS by showing that Nintendo isn't at fault here and provided him the evidence. The shortage isn't artificial, get over it. Quit trying so desperately to defend slyman19.

    There's some companies affected, but again correlation doesn't imply causation. Of course fanboys don't even know what that means.

    You'd have to show more than speculation, which almost all articles on this point out (that it's speculation), to prove Nintendo is affected as well. Because this has been going on since last summer and companies already admit they weren't affected.

    https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/11/02/nand_flash_supply_shortage/

    But clowns like dog don't know how to even read or know the definition of simple words like speculation, sabotage and whatnot. 

    So they constantly make a fool of themselves. Dog is especially delusional amongst them because he keeps coming at you going on about how he'll shut you down with his source, but when push comes to shove, he runs off like a coward as usual.

    It's speculation which is completely plausible, along with the other possibilities.

    Only delusional fanboys accept one side and peddle it as fact.

    Fixed.

    Nevermind the fact that the source you posted was made before the Switch was released. Nintendo didn't expect the demand to be high, and as a result were affected by NAND shortages. You're only proving my point.

    Here's some additional information from a commenter:
    Cisco and Dell Can't Tell the Truth

    OMG, you'd expect that with a worldwide shortage of SSDs Cisco and Dell would at least acknowledge that it is causing problems. Their customers definitely know it's a problem.

    I won't say who I work for, but just know that Dell has removed SSDs larger than 1.2TB from their price sheets because they cannot fulfill the demand for a minimum of 90 days. This is no fault of Dell, as Lenovo is short, too. So, Cisco is definitely short. They won't admit it, but they are.

    I've heard it has to do with extremely high demand occurring at the exact same time manufacturers started changing their build technologies to "3D": Appears the switch-over to 3D manufacturing has been more difficult and fraught with problems than expected. This, coupled with unusually high demand, have caused the shortage which will, very likely, last until year's end.

    Correlation does not imply causation or are you not understanding that? You have to prove Nintendo is affected because other companies have denied it. So you have to prove every company is affected because only one anonymous source has linked it. Nintendo has not even hinted at this in any shape or fashion. However they admit the NES and SNES are limited intentionally. 

    And what does Switch being released in March have to do with it? The shortage has been going on since August last year.

    Here's some additional information from a commenter:

    Are you seriously using the comments section to further your point? Do you even see the irony? Because people have been accusing Nintendo in that same fashion. Hell, the previous GameStop CEO outright accused Nintendo of artificial shortage with the Wii. By your logic, the CEO trumps a random commentor with absolutely no proof or credentials, thus artificial scarcity is confirmed. Right?

    I can't believe you don't see the irony in such stupidity. This is a new low for you.

    The people who did do research probably didn't know they'd have to go out and buy memory cards to get games working, nor that they would bend or overheat and just stop working completely within the first year. And before you blast out your ass that those people who experienced hardware failures are in the minority, that might be true but there's no research that can be done to find out things a corporation intentionally hides from you.

    Oh wait....


    Supply issues because of Apple.

    It's funny that Nintendo is the only one with supply issues. Thousands of products use LCD tech yet they have no problem coming out.

    Wrong.

    The reports from months ago said the issues was getting materials for LCD tech, not memory.


    Uh, no, you're conflating two different events: the parts shortage (which definitely involved memory) and the LCD supplier for Nintendo, which was much more recent and likely has nothing to do w/ the overall parts landscape.

    It'll happen with the paid service. Same as with PS+


    Except with PlayStation, you can back up saves, move saves, etc. using a flash drive or USB external. Cloud storage is more of a backup system.

    Nintendo probably doesn't see this as a priority because not many people are going to have more than one Switch right now since they're still so hard to find.

    Save data is tied to the system memory for now.


    What the f*** is this s***? Save data tied to system? f*** off. 

    This shouldnt be happening in 2017.

    We have no way to move his zelda/mk8/spla2oon progress from his nintendo account he was using on my switch to his own system...

    He has to start everything over...

    This needs fixed like 6 months ago.


    Or just let him keep your old one since it's his account and keep the new one for yourself?

    Glad to hear that, i made a mistake to purchase it early. So far only have botw and skylander since Arms,Rabbid and Splatoon 2 not my cup of tea. Maybe i will wait Xeno 2...which will only come out next 3 months.. Sssh....
    I own nds, 3ds, high possibility to get Switch too,psp,ps vita, x360 ,pc, ps2 and ps4 so I don't give a crap about console loyalty.

    They need to patch in the ability to save data to cartridges, like who thought it was a good idea to remove that?

      Is that even possible? I was under the impression that a cartridge had to be designed with saving to it in mind, because you can't save to the read only memory (ROM) itself. It has to have a portion designated for such activities.

      Hey, while they are at it, they should patch in more RAM, and patch in an optical drive. It's no more ridiculous than patching in saving to carts when the carts have no writable area for saves.

      Hey, man, you know where I can download more RAM?
      Sony bought Konami and will release a DDR game for the Nintendo 3DS. In this game, you set your 3DS on the floor and stomp on it till it no longer functions.

      Stupid to save to carts anyway. If u rent or trade a game in, goodbye save.

      Cloud saves will probably be added once the paid subscription rolls out

      You shouldn't need to pay to backup your save data though, you didn't have to on any previous Nintendo system. The N64, GC, Wii, WiiU, and even 3DS did not have this issue.

      Neither did Sony systems or the Xbox 360 or One.

      I just thought of something: what if you're out of internal storage? Then you can't save your game?

      I haven't tried with the one but you can't just back up a save to external storage. You have to move the whole profile.

      That's a pretty stupid way of looking at the situation, and yes, there is plenty you can do about that. Look at what people did to Microsoft's original Xbox One plans when they complained about them.
