During today's Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct, Nintendo shared a few more tidbits about what happens if your game data is lost. We knew that the game wouldn't work with cloud saves, but Nintendo's solution only applies to a very specific circumstance.

If your Switch is lost or defective, Nintendo will recover your save data for you. The thing is, you'll only be able to do this one time. If anything else happens, it appears you're out of luck. Not exactly the best solution for anyone, to be honest. Hopefully Nintendo reconsiders this stance.

Thanks to BradWardFight for the heads up!
