Nintendo NA: We are unable to guarantee cloud saves will be retained after canceling

Authored by resetera.com and submitted by Niceptic

Q. After my Nintendo Switch Online subscription expires, will my Save Data Cloud files and Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online save data be erased?

A. Save data stored with Save Data Cloud cannot be kept outside of the duration of your Nintendo Switch Online membership. Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online also uses the Save Data Cloud, so the same applies. However, if you keep the Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online save data saved locally on your Nintendo Switch console, then you can use it again if you purchase another membership.

Nintendo better be thankful as hell that they have talented game developers, game artists and musical composers.

Because everything else is fucking bonkers.

Wait, let's say your subscription expires, and your saves are wiped. If you pay again, will your current local saves be uploaded again? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, I honestly don't know what to expect from Nintendo these days.
