Nintendo Switch Online Exclusives
Online Play
Subscribing to Nintendo Switch Online unlocks the ability to play online multiplayer for a variety of Nintendo Switch games, connecting you with players around the world.
Save Data Cloud
The Save Data Cloud feature allows you to back up your game save data to Nintendo's servers, linked to your Nintendo Account. This backup can be accessed and downloaded either through the game's software menu or within the System Settings. This functionality not only enables the smooth transfer of your saved data to other Switch consoles but also provides a safety net against console loss, data corruption, or accidental deletion. Be aware that downloading save data from the backup will overwrite existing data, and once overwritten, the old data cannot be recovered.
Nintendo Switch Online App
The Nintendo Switch Online App serves as a vital tool for Online Members, facilitating communication and enhancing the gaming experience.
- Voice Chat: The app enables voice chat in a lobby environment, allowing you to communicate with friends during online gameplay.
- Game-Specific Services: Certain games offer unique features within the app. For instance, Animal Crossing: New Horizons includes the NookLink service, which lets players scan QR codes and use a keyboard for in-game communication.
