澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Animal Crossing: New Horizons won't allow c🌊loud saves at launch,༺ Nintendo has confirmed. 

However, it also revealed that there is a system in place to let you transfer dataꦜ should your Switch suffer a terrible accident or go missing, that will launch some time afteꦡr the game's launch.

During the stream, an answer to an FAQ said "Animal Crossing: New Horizons does not support the save data cloud fe﷽ature. However, we're planning to operate a service for recovering backed up save data from the server in certain circumstances, like console damage, or loss." 

While it's a shame that we won't be able to easily transfer data across consoles, this provides a handy backup in case of emergencies. Hopefully, you can rest slightly easier t🐲onight knowing that your island paradise won't be lost even if the dog eats your Switch/it gets nabbed on a busy commute/some other awful fate befalls your console.

However, sm💯all print in the Direct did confirm that you'll only be ab💮le to recover your save data once.

Update Feb. 24: Nintendo has since swapped out the small print in the original Direct video with revised copy: "More details on save data recovery functionality will be shared at a future date." That doesn't mean Nintendo has necessarily changed its mine about only allowing one save recovery per game, but it's a good sign that it's listening to fan feedba𝄹ck.

Original story resumes: Cloud saving on Nintendo Swi♒tch was introduced with the Nintendo Switch Online subscription, and it allows players to upload save data ꧋and download to a different console. It's incredibly useful if you're looking to change your machine or back up saves. 

There's been plenty of new info on Animal Crossing's Switch debut revealed dur🍷ing today's Direct, from the introduction of the Nook Link (don't worry, it's not another way to scam you out of those precious bells) to the planned free updates post-launch. 

On top of that, we've also spent a couple of hours setting up our own perfect island getaway. Check out our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Animal Crossing: New Horizons preview here.
