Hackers enable Switch game save backups/restores
Seems that we successfully performed save backup and restore operations directly on #NintendoSwitch through Checkpoint! Source code will be available sometime this year (with some goodies coming for the Nintendo 3DS version) on https://t.co/w8lr6hi4DH pic.twitter.com/7vZsCVNwUc

If there were ever a feature to push Switch owners to get homebrew up-and-running on their console, this would be it. Millions have asked Nintendo to enable some sort of Switch save game backup and storage options, and while Nintendo is yet to move on the issue, hackers have already made it possible. I'd say this is one shining example of hackers doing something for the good of the user!
