Animal Crossing New Horizons won't have Cloud Saves

Then don't save the time just your inventory and village

Wait, so if I buy a new switch and a new copy of the game, how do I get my village back?

To be fair, Splatoon 2's online data is saved locally. So you could upload your save to the cloud, reroll gear and if you don't like the results, delete your save, download it again, and then repeat until you got what you wanted.
If Nintendo makes a Splatoon 3, they will hopefully learn and have any online data stored online.

You can transfer from one switch to another

The switch is not secure anymore anyway, anyone can easily manipulate save data since the switch can be hacked. A save editor will be released the moment the game is out...

What if my old system was stolen or broken?

can I only transfer one account from the switch?

>If Nintendo makes a Splatoon 3, they will hopefully learn and have any online data stored online.
That costs money so the chance of them doing it is 0. Same reason why no nintendo game will ever have dedicated servers.

Then your save is gone
Tough shit

Pokemon won't support cloud saves either

Which again just penalize legit users in the end, people who want to cheat / edit their saves will still be able to do so. Taking such measures make sense when your system hasn't been hacked yet but now... You have literally real time memory editor for the switch.

>So you could upload your save to the cloud, reroll gear and if you don't like the results, delete your save, download it again, and then repeat until you got what you wanted.
but you can do the same thing in Xenoblade 2 with core crystals, which they tried to prevent by having the game autosave when you open a crystal. But I guess Xenoblade 2 isn't an online game so they don't care if you savescum to get better blades.

not even Nintendo is that retarded. It's probably just lost in translation as in manipulating the time disparity to dupe trick

>not even Nintendo is that retarded
not him but why not? it wouldnt count if nintendo does it

>cheaters BTFO'd again

because it clashes with the whole portable aspect and the direction of animal crossing. Also Animal Crossing is not developed by Gamefreak and they are actually attentive to the (Japanese) fanbase. Note all the quality of life shit, being able to choose where your houses are, furniture outside, grass deterioration gone.
Animal Crossing is practically a system seller at this point, they wouldn't bother delaying it if they didn't give a shit about it.

>cloud saves disabled to avoid manipulating time
Why they care so much about that? It's not like the game is a competitive battle royale with microtransaction and an auto chess minigame? Right?

I hope you are right i need my 15 minute comfy simulator. My 3ds broke and i waited to long to replace and my favorite villager left leaving me a heartfelt note and picture as a reminder of her.

I can never go back to that town now

They better release a bundle with animal crossing + a switch. I'll buy a switch if that shit comes out.

The game does develop a small economy within its online community
if you can cheat in as much money as you want, it ruins that economy

>Can literally edit your save
>cheaters BTFO'd

So how hard is it to move your account from one switch to another? Say my switch breaks, I can just buy a new one and log in with my old account and get all my old purchases back?

no lol

They're still ass backwards about that?

>And should the fanbase make sort of message or hashtag like BringBacktheNationalDex?

One of these is a company that has always had an issue catching up with online systems still having an issue catching up with online systems

the other is a company actively regressing their game design out of laziness

not saying not having cloud saves is something that should be defended but it's understandable at least by comparison

i think so i believe everything is connected to your nintendo account these days

>the two games you'd want to make sure you had a save data back up for
>you can't back them up because people might cheat
Why not just limit the ability to retrieve your save data? That way you can back it up and retrieve it in an emergency like the system was intended for?

this is true, new leaf was fantastic for the first month when there weren't any duping around. Other than the people sucking cocks for 7-11 items.

I get why they wouldn't want to ruin that from day 1. I just hope they at least considering compromising by letting you have emergency back-up saves for the town and villagers itself with all the items wiped out. That's what people care about. Not like there's still a slave market for used goods villagers when amiibos are a thing.

well nevermind I guess you can go from one console to the next

User freedom vs. Nintendo policing

Nintendo cares more about policing their casual games than they do user freedom

Why should they let you adjust the clock from in-game this time? It made sense in previous titles because accessing the system settings required you to quit the game, but the Switch's settings are easily accessible when a game is suspended.

Transferring stuff to another Switch is really easy compared to previous systems, but stuff like screenshots and Miis won't be transferred so you need to be careful about that. With photos screenshots you should just buy a microSD and move them all there, then put the microSD in your new Switch. Transferring Miis is super easy provided you still have the console they were originally on.

Everything else transfers just fine though, you just need to redownload digital titles and DLC from the eShop.

this seems mistranslated to me. i bet they mean so you can change time
