But the more important bit comes from the FAQ of Nintendo's online itselfSadly, this seems to present a pretty major problem. If you can't renew your subscription before it ends - be that because you accidentally miss the renewal date, or simply can't afford to renew it at the time - it would appear that you must sacrifice those saves. For comparison's sake, Sony's PlayStation 4 keeps your data for six months, giving you time to renew at your leisure, and the Xbox One offers free cloud saves for all users, regardless of a monthly subscription.
Nintendo's approach of simply wiping your saves seems like a very consumer-unfriendly move, and one that will no doubt cause more anger and frustration over a service which doesn't appear to be offering quite enough for its ?17.99 / $19.99 price tag - especially when the main selling point (playing games online) has already been free for 18 months.
So... with admitting that, they basically admitted that you can save Game Data on your Switch (Duh) but they just don't want to allow that because... how else would they be able to nickel and dime you?This statement suggests that, should your subscription expire, your cloud saves will be deleted with no way of getting them back. Nintendo's suggestion here is to save your data locally, as this can then be transferred back to the cloud when you renew, but this naturally defeats the whole purpose of the feature and only seems to apply to the NES game portion of the serviceQ. After my Nintendo Switch Online subscription expires, will my Save Data Cloud files and Nintendo Entertainment System ? Nintendo Switch Online save data be erased?
A. Save data stored with Save Data Cloud cannot be kept outside of the duration of your Nintendo Switch Online membership. Nintendo Entertainment System ? Nintendo Switch Online also uses the Save Data Cloud, so the same applies. However, if you keep the Nintendo Entertainment System ? Nintendo Switch Online save data saved locally on your Nintendo Switch console, then you can use it again if you purchase another membership.
Pretty much this. If they want to stop emulation, make the games easily and readily available legally.spartandude said:Dear Nintendo,
You don't want me using emulators and I don't want to be using emulators. So how about you start making a bunch more GBA games playable on my 3ds and put Gamecube games on the Switch. Because if the only way I can play them is via emulators that's what I'm going to do.
Sincerely
A fan who'd like to play older games.
They could be saving that and Bayonetta for the Game Awards maybe?Samtemdo8 said:No Metroid Prime 4 news. Now I am in the worry phase.
Well, I was actually joking about how VIII really is the one no one cares about (for good reason; the plot is incoherent, the characters unlikable, and the gameplay is boring micromanagement), though that is funny how there are eight titles, but not VIII itself. Funnily enough though, the reason VIII isn't being ported (and doesn't have as many ports as its predecessors and successors) is for one, very dumb reason: Eyes on Me. The sappy song that plays when Rinoa and Squall are in space. That one. Yeah. Square can't port the game because the singer still has the rights to Eyes on Me. Wow, over a song that is pretty badElijin said:Is his joke not that there are 8 FF games being added, but FF8 is not on the list?bluegate said:Celebrating the exclusion of one of the better games in the series, good on you 🤷👍Aiddon said:So, to recap:

If I am completely honest with you, I don't trust anyone who says FF8 is their favorite FF game. Unless it is their only FF game (which would be understand to turn people off the series completely), even then don't ever label it a favorite.Aiddon said:Well, I was actually joking about how VIII really is the one no one cares about (for good reason; the plot is incoherent, the characters unlikable, and the gameplay is boring micromanagement), though that is funny how there are eight titles, but not VIII itself.

Couldn't they just use a different song?Aiddon said:Well, I was actually joking about how VIII really is the one no one cares about (for good reason; the plot is incoherent, the characters unlikable, and the gameplay is boring micromanagement), though that is funny how there are eight titles, but not VIII itself.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH! I'm on a brawler high right now! I need more satisfaction.Hawki said:In a place where it's more likely to be made than installments in certain other Nintendo IPs.CoCage said:WHERE. IS. BAYONETTA! 3?!
with just how much awesome 1st Party support Nintendo has given the Switch in only a year and a half already, there isn't much more they could announce that hasn't already been announced unless they revive a dead franchise like Waverace or F-Zero.Hawki said:https://www.shacknews.com/article/107249/nintendo-trademarks-rhythm-heaven-golden-sun-mario-super-sluggers-and-more
So, if anyone's interested, Nintendo trademarked a number of their IPs, including Wrecking Crew, Mario Super Sluggers, Rhythm Heaven, and Golden Sun. All of these are pre-existing games/IPs.
So, on one hand, it's arguably conspicuous that this was a month before the direct, but on the other, it doesn't necessarily mean anything - could just be renewals of the IP or however copyright works. Can't say I'm over the moon for any of this bar Golden Sun (and I'm not going to get excited just because of legalese), but, well, now you know. And that's half the battle.
