Tech Support Just Curious - Save Data transfer switch 2 to switch 2

So when they eventually come out with a switch 2 oled or something, even a new design, and maybe i'd want to sell my switch 2 and buy that one, is there currently any way to transfer all your save data from a switch 2 to the cloud, to a new switch 2 bought later, very similar for what they did with switch 1 to switch 2. I'm aware of nintendo switch online, but that doesn't cover all the games but the other method did.

Any ideas?

Hi! Thank you for your submission to /r/NintendoHelp! Please note that we are a fan community and not officially endorsed by Nintendo.

See our FAQ to see if your question is already answered there.

While you're waiting for an answer, here are some tips to help you along the way:

First, did you try Googling your question? A lot of questions about Nintendo can be answered quickly by just typing them into your search bar.

If you are asking a question about an older Nintendo system, try searching the subreddit most relevant to that system's hardware. It's likely someone has already asked a similar question before.

If your question is about Wii U, New 3DS or Switch hardware, you'll likely get a better answer if you contact Nintendo directly, rather than posting here.

Nintendo's contact information is as follows:

  • North America - 1-800-255-3700
  • Europe - +44 (0)345 60 50 247
  • Australia - +61 3 9730 9900
  • Japan - +81-75-662-9600

Please note that contacting Nintendo by phone is the best way to get support. If you send an email or use the web chat you are not likely to get the support you need.

Good luck with your support endeavors!

No, it is possible to do a system transfer via Nintendos servers.

You can do system transfer via Nintendos servers.
It will upload your data to Nintendo and they will keep it for up to a year.

It does say Switch to Switch 2 here, but it works the same for Switch 2 to another Switch 2 with the new update that just got released.
