Nintendo released a meaty new firmware update today bringing new features and improvements. One of the things which has gone under the radar is the ability to now upload your system data to the cloud to transfer over to the Nintendo Switch 2 if you sell your console before you get the new one. It should be noted that if you upload your system data to the dedicated server to download to another console the original system will be factory reset.
“For users that will lose access to their Nintendo Switch before receiving their Nintendo Switch 2, there is an option to upload system transfer data to a dedicated server which can then be retrieved on their Nintendo Switch 2. After you upload your system transfer data to the dedicated server, the Nintendo Switch system will be initialized to factory settings, so only perform this transfer if you’ll be able to complete the transfer on Nintendo Switch 2.”
