Nintendo knows fans want a way to back up Switch save data, but don't have an answer right now

Would you like a way to protect your save data on your Switch? Some sort of cloud back-up for that information? Nintendo hears your requests, but unfortunately Reggie Fils-Aime didn't give us any clear-cut answers on a solution being around the corner.

"We're aware of the concern. Certainly, Nintendo is a consumer-oriented company [and] we want to make our consumers happy. We're aware of the concern and it's an area we're going to continue working on to make sure that we can alleviate some of those consumer fears of having a content-based issue. Because of the type of platform we have — it's something that is on the go as well as connected in the home environment — there are some added complications. It's not as simple as a piece of hardware that never moves and is always connected in an online environment."

This is usually the kind of statement Nintendo gives when they don't plan to change things. I hope I'm wrong in this instance, but as of right now, we don't have any real idea of a solution being in the works.
