Nintendo Switch Sharing
If I were to buy a game and play it on my friends switch (since I do not have a switch anymore but am trying to buy one again), is it possible to transfer that save data from my friends switch to my new switch? I think I read somewhere that I would need to be logged into a switch with my nintendo account?
Solution 1:
You'll have to log-in your Nintendo account at your friend's Nintendo Switch, play that game, save some data. But 3 things ware needed before :
- Your Nintendo account should have Nintendo Switch Online membership enable
- The game you played must have Save Data Cloud Backup support
- Connect Nintendo Switch to internet
After that, you can sync your saved game to your new Nintendo Switch.
UPDATE
Here's some unofficial list of games so far that doesn't support Save Data Cloud Backup
