Nintendo has officially confirmed that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for the Nintendo Switch 2 will indeed support cloud saves, putting to rest any previous concerns. This comes as a relief to fans who were worried after an initial disclaimer on Nintendo's website suggested otherwise. The updated information now clearly states that while the second save data slot on the Switch 2 version of Tears of the Kingdom cannot be transferred back to the original Nintendo Switch, players can transfer their saves from the original Switch to the Switch 2.
This clarification is crucial for those planning to upgrade to the Switch 2, especially with the enhanced versions of several Switch 1 games, including Tears of the Kingdom, on the horizon. Interestingly, the page for Donkey Kong Bananza has removed all mentions of cloud saves, leaving fans curious about its save functionality.
Moreover, the same transfer policy applies to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, ensuring consistency in how save data is managed across these titles. This should provide reassurance to Switch 2 owners looking forward to these games.
In other news, pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 have opened, maintaining a price point of $449.99, and they've been met with the enthusiastic response you'd anticipate. For those interested, IGN's Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order guide offers detailed information to help you secure your console.
