My Smash bros. game got corrupted 4 times! I never turned it off when the game loads nor I played online but it just randomly gave me the message that the game got corrupted four times the last past 3 weeks! I used the repair software feature on the E shop but it said that it has no problems but I did it anyway however it still got corrupted. I also saved the save file on my computer but when I overwrite it with the old save and when I start the game it gives me a message that Smash can't recognize the save file and will start new data. Is this happened to anyone else! Can someone please help me to find a way to overwrite the old save file successfully or even help me get the game to stop getting corrupted it's getting annoying and I really want to complete the whole game someday. btw it's the digital version and this has only happened to Smash not to my other downloaded games.
EDIT: Scroll down to bottom to see what "fix" I found for the corruption issue.

Apparently this is happening a little bit for some people. Google it.

Yeah I know I've seen it I just want to know if there is some way to backup the save file on my computer.

Perhaps a bad SD card? Is there a way to swap them out and see if it works then?

Do u mean to swap out with another sd card?

Yes. Try using a different SD card.

Which one are you using now?

@brewsky
I only have one sd card and it's a 32 gb one too! <.<

heller! Is there anyone who can help me with this problem? Any ideas? I'm thinking to back up the entire folder of my Smash game to my computer when I already have done something in the game, so when it gets corrupted again I can restore the whole folder so that the game won't get confused with overwritten save files. Will this work?

Screw it then! I'll try this method out and I'll bring results if it works or not! pffftt! I'm just asking for help but threads like "teens react" gets attention! How pathetic.

You know, people won't want to help you if you're rude like this.

Other people have been running into the same issue. Just Google it and see what they did. Not that hard.

And please, don't expect anyone here to have an answer for every problem. We're human, too.

Sounds to me like you don't even deserve help.

If you add me, I need to at least know you or I won't add you back.

Sorry I admit I was butt hurt at the moment. I did google the problem a lot of times before but it didn't help . I just wanted to hear some suggestions from others who might have resolved an issue similar to something like the issue with my Smash game and I am planning to buy Smash Wii U, I can't wait!

Ok about 3 weeks have past since i made this thread I just want to update on what I've discovered in these past weeks so that anyone with this problem can try to attempt what I did:
1.First on a computer/laptop make a backup for the entire folder that contains the Smash Bros. game to an external flash drive.

2.Then from then on every time that you finish playing Smash just copy the save file from the smash bros. game from your sd card to the folder that contains the backup save file in the folder backup from your flash drive.

3.Then after clicking paste the computer will ask whether to keep both files or not, select replace file with the new one.

4.You will now have both files, now delete the backup save file that reads the date the backup was made. For example my backup save file was made on 11/5/14 and the pasted save file from my sd card reads 10/4/14, so I delete the 11/5/14 and keep the 10/4/14 save file in the backup folder which will become a new 11/5/14 file.

That's it. Just keep playing Smash and every time you're finished playing it just repeat steps 3-4 and the game shall not corrupt for a long (maybe never!) time. I've been doing this for the whole month and my game hasn't corrupted. I finally unlocked all characters today(for the first freakin' time!) because the game hasn't gotten corrupted like it used to do. Now it works like a charm! Maybe it has to do with my game being saved a lot to my computer but I'm not really certain but at least it hasn't gotten corrupted so it's better than nothing. Also just in case if the game does get corrupted just restore the backup to the location of your Smash bros. game on your sd card and it will be restored to before it got corrupted. Please note that I'm not 100% sure if the backup will successfully restore Smash correctly since I haven't test the method yet(hopefully I don't have to) so do it with you're own risk.
Happy Smashing! :33333333333333333
