Topic: can someone help? if i was to rebuy a game that i had saved data for would that sava data still be there?

Basicaly iv been sharing a switch with my brother for awhile and 3 of the games : breath the wild , splatton 2 and mario kart are all downloaded on to his accont.
I had my own accont on the switch and was using these three games but now he has his own switch and now his move the accont over i cant use those three games anymore.
so if i was to re buy the games which im planning to get physhical copys cos i can get them cheaper then downloading will my save data still be there ???
I really hope i wont have to start from scratch mostly from splattoon becuas ei had really good gear and everything.

Not sure if it’s the same thing but I borrowed Mario Odyssey off someone and played through the story then gave it back. When I bought my own copy recently my save data was still there as it was attached to my account.

As long as your save files are still on your switch then you won't have a problem with those games. The saves files will work with both digital and physical releases.

There are a couple of exceptions, mostly for third party games, or special edition physical releases of digital games.

Thankyou i know i saw some case of people borrowing games and then getting there own and also people buying downloads of games they already got physchial and still had there save files i just wasnt sure from a download to a phychical im heading out to get both the games so fingers crossed my files are still usable
