News:: It's impossible to transfer or backup Nintendo Switch game saves

Happy Switch Day! Before you run off melting your weekend away playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Snipperclips, Fast RMX, Voez, etc., here is a warning: don't make any progress on a friend's Switch. Nintendo's Switch support page reveals that game save files are written to the internal memory, and are not transferable by any means, Save data can not be copied, backed-up, or written to a MicroSD, so make sure you are playing on your own console.

The support page also explains that digital games are only available on the "active" system tied to your account. To set your Switch as the active console for your Nintendo account, you simply access the eShop. If you wish to access your games from another console, you will first have to deactivate your current system, again via the eShop, before activating the new one.
