Update: It seems that Nintendo has changed the heart as far as saving the clouds, possibly because of the poor response to the news that you can have a single console on the island. The following update has been sent to Crossing Japanese Animals: Newon's New Place (thanks, Google Translate!):
This software does not support Nintendo switchch Online "Storage Data", but in case it fails, is lost or stolen by Nintendo switchch (console), we are looking at data backup. Use of this function is limited to Nintendo switchch Online subscribers. Communication time is not selected. We'll let you know as soon as the time is up.
Original story (Jun 17, 2019 15:00 BST): Crossing the Animals: New Horizons was finally revealed during Nintendo & # 39; s E3 Direct last week, giving fans of the series good and bad news. The good news is that it looks as exciting as ever, continuing this time on the deserted island; the bad news is that the game is slightly delayed in March 2020.
The process of good and bad news continues, as we now have more details about other aspects of the game. The director of the game, Aya Kyogoku, and producer, Hagashi Nogami, recently sat down with the French store Gamekult talking all about the new game and what players can expect, with topics such as cloud saving and amiibo support being talked about.
When asked how the game will use the cloud storage provided on the switch, Nogami shared the following (translation by Maketendo64):
“New Horizons will not comply cloud backup to avoid wasting time, which is always one of the founding ideas of the series. "
Of course, the game won't include cloud saving, which means that – if you lose your Switch switch – your Animal Crossing game hours of time will be lost in the blink of an eye. The thinking makes sense, of course, but we're sure fans will be left frustrated by the news.
All the clouds it has really have silver, or (ahem), as the interview also suggested that we would see the functionality of the amiibo present in the game – good news if you have a full set of cards just sitting at home.
Can you confirm that Animal Crossing: New Horizons will match the amiibo range?
Kyogoku: Given the number of cards and stats available, we obviously think New Horizons will be compatible with amiibo, but I can't tell you much about this compatibility at this time of development.
Does the lack of cloud saving support bother you? Would you like this system to be used, even if there are problems with designing time? Let us know in the comments below.
