naraku360 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Just fucking died. Nintendo says save data can't be recovered. I was on chapter 10 of Xenoblade 2. Probably over 200 hours and the game just about to be finished. Edited April 2, 2018 by naraku360 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naraku360 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) I didn't fuck it up, though. I set it down to charge normally, then when I came back it was dead and wouldn't charge. That's all. I thought this was a battery issue. But apparently I can go fuck myself if I want to even know why it broke.

mochi Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 apparently you aren't the only person this has happened to there've been a ton of reports that people's Switches are just dropping dead for no reason and apparently Nintendo deliberately made save data unretrievable in the switch for "Copyright Protection" reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naraku360 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Yeah. I'm just pissed they didn't have any backup systems so I likely lost a party that took over a week in hours to put together and was just about to finish it. I only lost the data because they gave no way to backup. Edited April 2, 2018 by naraku360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaNaraku Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 That sucks dude. But did you have a warranty, or will Nintendo offer you another one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Toulon Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I'm getting buddy one for his birthday, but since the switch is kind of a ds/home console combo, are you sure it can't be recovered. I haven't looked into how one runs since we don't have one but how is the data stored. Internally, hd, or like the DS with micro SD. I have all of my DS content backed up on my computer since I'm unaware of any outside source. Just seems like a serious design flaw since all their other devices let you back up via your computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My PS3 bricked while I was watching "The Kids are All Right". I lost all of my shit except for a couple outdated saves I had on a USB drive, and had to replay some of my old games to get my progress back.

You just have to find Application Saved Data Management and find the option to save it to your USB while it’s plugged in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the data is on an SD card and the console is factory reset, the SD card auto-formats. I don't think I had an SD card, though. Apparently the only current backup method is to manually backup from one Switch to another, which is fucking stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distortedreasoning Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 at least they are doing something about it. really sucks to lose all that time you put in. can never replace that. hopefully they can figure something out cuz the switch is an excellent piece of hardware.

I mean, it died before I got KOS-MOS, which means I didn't lose a character excessively tedious to get. I tried for hours to get her and still never did, so I'm glad I'm not losing that.
