The game will not be saved in the cloud, but will include this new functionality sometime after launch.
Eager for adventure and spirit of exploration, we pack to go to one of the deserted islands of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the new production of Nintendo, which has been shown in a Nintendo Direct dedicated entirely to this title . In addition to the confirmation that there will be free downloadable content – the first one, on launch day -, it has been reported that they will add a saved game recovery service.
Nintendo anticipated that production would not allow saving in the cloud, as in Pokémon Sword and Shield, for example. This decision was made, always in agreement with the Kyoto company, to avoid cheating users. In any case, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will have the possibility to recover their game in case of breakdown or loss of the machine. This has been revealed during streaming broadcast.
According to the fine print, you can only recover Animal Crossing save data once, for Nintendo Switch Online members https://t.co/e7LdTFHVm5

It can only be used once
The Japanese company has promised that it will be possible to recover the game of the servers once the service is enabled, still without date. They ensure that it will be available sometime after launch. Even so, not everything is joy, since Nintendo will limit this process and it will only be possible to recover the data only once. On the other hand, only Nintendo Switch Online members can use it.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is scheduled for March 20, exclusively for Nintendo Switch. Thanks to its local and online multiplayer mode, up to eight players will be able to move to the same island. Given that it is a deserted place, there are many options that open before the player. Build, customize and perform numerous activities are just some of the options available. Unlike other deliveries, crafting is implemented and the functionalities linked to construction are expanded.
