Nintendo has officially confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will indeed support cloud saves, much to the relief of fans. This clarification comes after initial concerns raised by a disclaimer on Nintendo's website suggesting otherwise. Originally, the page for the Switch 2 edition of Tears of the Kingdom stated that it did not support the Nintendo Switch Online paid membership’s Save Data Cloud backup feature.
However, following feedback and confusion, Nintendo has updated its website. The new information clarifies that while the second save data slot in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition cannot be transferred back to the original Nintendo Switch, players will be able to transfer their saves from the first Switch to the Switch 2. This move should reassure concerned Switch 2 owners, as noted by Eurogamer.
Similar updates have been applied to the page for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, indicating a consistent approach to save transfers across these enhanced versions of popular games. Meanwhile, the page for Donkey Kong Bananza has removed all mentions of cloud saves, leaving its status unclear.
In other news, pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 have gone live, maintaining a price point of $449.99. The demand has been as high as expected, with more details available in IGN's Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order guide.
