@Kinoen Did you just start listing games without even checking first that half of those were actually supported. I have no problem with legitimate complaints. But making stuff up without even bothering to check is not legitimate.
Are you on a crusade to spread misinformation? People replied to you and you didn't even correct yourself or admit fault in jumping to conclusions without bothering to check facts. Your response is instead on the attention these misinformed posts are getting, rather than that they were correcting you. You've gotten the attention of my ignore list though, so there's that

Yikes. If Kinoen does spread information, you can bet Nintendo will sue him for spreading false information and he would lose the case easily.

Although would’ve liked local backup I think cloud saves is ok fine. It’s more of a lot of people are not understanding how it works. When you subscribe you are backed up just as all cloud based service. You can take a break from the subscription as all of your saves are still there and not gone from your switch it’s still there no panic. Only panic if a shark or tiger or snail eats your switch. Now if you were to subscribe 2 months later or 3 you are backed up again wooohooo

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

If a snail managed to eat my Switch, I'd be more concerned for my safety than video games

I've found $20, $50, and $100 cards. I'll usually buy a $50 card or a set of 3 $20 cards, depending. Speaking of which, my SD card is starting to get full. Maybe I should buy a bigger one, and transfer this one to either my 3DS or tablet. Think it's bigger then one of the ones currently in those devices.

@Kinoen The wording on the website about how cloud save data is treated after a sub lapses is ambiguous. And Nintendo, as ever, doesn't seem keen on clearing things up. Let's not quite rush to judgment on things we're not fully sure of yet.

Fair enough, but its looking to be that bad, and I will be viewing it as so until Nintendo clears it up.

Let's say that Nintendo does delete your cloud saves the second your NSO subscription lapses. Would this actually make any difference what so ever? I mean, think about it for a moment. Cloud backup saves is a part of the paid service. Which means that you couldn't access them anyway while not a paid member. Even if they kept the saves, they would probably be out of date by the time you resubscribed. And when you do resubscribe you'll automatically be making new cloud backup saves anyway.

@Kinoen I'll admit it's not encouraging. I think I'll cool my jets a while before subbing. I need questions answered first.

Not to be a devil's advocate of sorts here, but..

An interface could be created so you could access the cloud saves before they finally get deleted.

True, but recovering a out-of-date save is better than not recovering a save at all. Of course, it's all subjective anyway. It might not be worth it to retrieve a save if it's TOO out of date.

And when you do resubscribe you'll automatically be making new cloud backup saves anyway.

Yes, but what happens if the Switch breaks before resubscribing (after the subscription ran out)? If the saves are deleted, then since your local saves are in the Switch there's no way to get ANY saves back. If the saves aren't deleted, then... well, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

At the end of the day, I'm not expecting Nintendo to keep my saves for an indefinite amount of time when my subscription runs out, anyway. Minor inconvenience, yes. But hardly nothing to freak out about, in my opinion. If you don't pay for something, you don't get it.

That’s exactly how I see it

Out of interest. Anyone concerned about cloud saves. Do you buy warranties for your electronics too?

I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes.

@1UP_MARIO can I guess by your profile pic what you’re gonna play first?

OMG! Are we really making this big of a deal about a $1.67 a month service? It’s not as good as the other guys, but it’s a third the cost. People spend more than $20 to go to a movie they don’t truly know they’ll like and even if they do it’s for just a couple hours of fun. I just don’t get it. It seems so petty to complain about.

Hell, I often spend $35 a month on pizza. A year's subscription costs less then what I typically spend on ordering pizza in one month.

Doing a quick search of the prices of physical copies of the 20 initial NES games and the ones being added so far, they range from $6 for just the game to $100 for just the game. A copy of Legend of Zelda that includes the original box could cost you up to $270 depending on which version of the cart it is. So that service alone provides quite the bang for your buck. If you don't care for retro gaming you might not think so, but it does provide a great value if you enjoy retro gaming. And that value will only go up over time. Especially if SNES games come along too.
