Okay, so it seems that my bro is seriously pissed off.
I think his way of thinking is seriously flawed, but I also think Nintendo is pretty douchebag to do this too. So here's the situation...my bro bought the generation one Switch, everything has been fine and it has worked perfectly. However, he doesn't like taking it on the road because it is too clunky and boxy for him (if those verbs do his complaints justice). He accumulated a bunch of gift cards over Christmas and decided to buy the Switch Lite at a good discount, but he has officially ran into a problem. For him to transfer over his saved game data, he has to transfer over his entire account to the Lite; extremely stupid if we both want to use the Switch at the same time.
Nintendo - deciding to take a page out of Micro$$$$$$oft - decides to milk it and put their save file cloud system as part of their online service. Twenty bucks a year is absolutely nothing in today's currency, but he's on a limited income, is already paying for other streaming services, and will not use any part of Nintendo's service besides the cloud feature. Personally, I thought it was a waste of money considering that the OG Switch and Lite pretty much function the same, however, playing a bit of the Lite it seems much better for the road and playing anywhere compared to the OG Switch. Is there anyway to overcome this or what I said is pretty much set in stone?
