Apologies for my ongoing Splatoon 2 commentary, but here's my question:
My OLED is supposed to get here tomorrow. When I get a chance to start the process, how do I get my Splatoon 2 (and other non-cloud saves) to my OLED? I do have an SD card, so just switch the non-cloud games to the SD and stick that in the OLED?
From what I understand, I basically have to tell the servers that I'm officially and permanently migrating my account over to the new OLED, so everything that is cloud should then be accessibly on the OLED and my original Switch is just kind of a sad has-been?
@rallydefault Several other people here have multiple systems and can probably answer this better, but it's possible to use your original switch as a secondary system. By reloading your account onto the original Switch afterward, you should continue having access to your digital library so long as you're online and the other system isn't using that game (this requirement is only on secondary consoles, the OLED won't require online to play games). And the cloud save data will transfer your saves back and forth for supported titles (AKA, anything but Splatoon, Pokemon, or Animal Crossing AFAIK).

That’s how I used to do it between Switch v2 and the Lite, which was my secondary (nowadays I don’t use my Lite anymore, I just use OLED for everything). It only does a quick online check when starting digital software, once it’s open you can suspend it and take with you, and reopen at any time without checks. It won’t try to do another one for like 6 more hours I think. Something like that. If I do need to do another one I just turn on my phone’s hotspot and it would auto sync to that wireless for the check.
If it’s a physical game there’s no check, and if the game is being played in airplane mode on the primary system the check will still pass.

After their incredible Sniper Elite v2, 3 and 4, and Zombie Army Trilogy Switch ports (all with amazing gyro aiming) I was wondering if this would come.
After seeing Sniper Elite 4, I already know this is gonna be a knockout Switch port. They do such good work.

Whenever I get Switch games, I usually like to plan out my purchase beforehand. When I'm getting it, where I'm getting it, digital or physical, what price it is, everything necessary to know about the game, etc. For example, I'm eventually going to get ACNH. However, it's going to be in March so that I start out in the spring season in-game (feels more natural that way) AND it's going to be bought digitally. I know damn well I could save €10 (and a lot of space on my SD card) at somewhere like Smyths but that's physical only and I feel like I need the convenience of digital for a game like ACNH, you know? As you can probably tell, I'm very fickle/selective when it comes to my purchases.

@IceClimbers I hope it doesn't, honestly. It's an all-digital event for the vast majority of people watching anyway, and this just means there'll be fewer cringy stage productions to sit through.

Lol, some of those can be fun to watch, though, @Ralizah .... But it's certainly not like I'll ever be likely to go in person anyway, so it doesn't matter to me if it's digital only
I remember the last E3 where I was complaining on here it’s format as a media/journo event was outdated and should be scrapped only for me to get a fair amount of blow back of people disagreeing. It’s about time some of you lot come around to my way of thinking! ;p
I just beat DKC Tropical Freeze last week for the 3rd time. The game is that good. I rarely replay games I've beaten before, unless it's a hybrid Switch port of a game I really loved. But to play a game three times to 100% completion? I've never done that... For any game other than DKC Returns and DKC Tropical Freeze.
Exploring and finding all 7-9 puzzle pieces in each stage, grabbing the skill-based KONG letters in each stage, unlocking the temple level for each world and beating those with all 5 puzzle pieces, which then unlocks the 7th hidden world with final 3 levels that are super hard and crazy fun... and as if all that weren't enough, running each stage for a gold medal time trial run too? And this isn't content that's filler. This is some of the most fun I've ever had in a video game. Time trials are like crack. Levels designed with such incredible depth and pixel perfect placement of enemies and stage layout to unlock skill-based shortcuts and time-savers virtually everywhere as you master it more and more.
DKC Tropical Freeze is a game I'd spend hundreds of dollars on if I had to. It's just that good. Getting it digitally for 30% off is like highway robbery. Don't sleep on Donkey Kong Country! Dixie, Diddy, Cranky and DK beckon you to save their beloved island! Don't let the Snowmads' keep their Tropical paradise frozen forever!
I think E3 is a really weird concept in general, because the world has sorta moved on, but E3 has stayed the same. So many companies that once saved their biggest announcements for E3 are doing their own things and save their own biggest announcements for their own shows and there is so much gaming coverage everywhere now, in general, it is almost an absurdly oversaturated market for content production, that E3 is kinda meaningless.
I remember growing up that pretty much all of the biggest news of the gaming calendar would come from E3, we waded through all the ***** and cringe for the next drip feed of real information.
Now, how many of us just wait until the morning after an E3, a game awards, a direct… whatever, when the super cut of all the trailers and relevant parts are on YouTube, giving you the 10 percent of meaningful content without the 90 percent filler.
Now, I appreciate some may enjoy the pageantry that used to come with the information in E3 and I am sure for some older people who haven’t been, an E3 might be a bucket list thing to tick off, but the whole concept of an E3 is just so antiquated, to me.
Ok, no lie… Pokémon Legends Arceus is looking really impressive. I guess I didn’t realize how much this series needed this. But now that I see it… ya. This was long overdue.

1. Most of the game companies trying to do shows outside of E3 have felt even more meaningless. At best, they're like a single E3 conference with no other ones following it, and worst, they're a bad attempt at doing a Nintendo mini Direct.
2. People have complained that E3 doesn't matter anymore for nearly 15 years. For that matter, the Game Awards have never really mattered, and yet that does well. There's plenty of examples that familiarity alone can keep something successful long after its relevance should logically be gone, so E3's continued success does not surprise me. And it does still succeed, somehow.
