If its the same as the last collection with some Sonic games missing then I wont bother.

There is a reason why Sonic 3 and Knuckles are missing. Its a rights thing due to the soundtrack apparently.

I know, which wasn’t a problem with the previous gen releases.

Rights expire and change hands over time.

Pretty sure one version I played maybe on steam or ps3 had a different track altogether thus ruining the game for me

The Dark souls network test is available on the store. Playable on Friday.

I imagine we don't need Nintendo online sub to try this? I just want to see dark souls on the small screen then leave it be

If you are playing Sonic 3 on its own then the music is different compared to Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

Afraid we do need NSO. You could go for the 7 day free trial if you wanted to give it a try.

You can do it manually via the + button though mine is set to auto as well. Maybe you need to launch the game not sure how it works.

So I did a manual back up of Zelda in the first instance, I then ran Zelda and made another save, went to settings and it showed the cloud save as at 15:53 and the system at 15:56, once I closed Zelda it then started uploading the most recent backup to the cloud.

For Stardew Valley I didn't force a manual sync, I opened the game, slept in the bed to save and exited the game, it's now backing up as we speak.

I thought it might back up all the old stuff automatically when idle but nothing yet, maybe it will when docked.

Knowing Nintendo they'll probably only do it when you play and save something from now on to reduce their cloud storage usage.

They appear to use the same system as their rubbish game update policy. Only your recently played games (6-8? I can't remember) get updated automatically, the rest will update when you start them. This is infuriating if you just fancy a quick game of something online and you have to wait for a patch to install.

With paid online I would expect all of my games to update and backup saves, not just a few.

Tbh I got that info from resetera so I dont know if it's totally correct. They are moaning about it quite a lot though. So I launched the game and obviously couldn't connect yet but I took a screenshot of the menu because well Dark Souls on my Switch

I imagine this will be the general feeling, so if they aren't doing it automatically when docked/idle I'd guess it'll be patched in fairly soon.

Is anyone not using their Splatoon 2 codes given away with a year's membership to the Nintendo Online service?

I'm on the 7 day trial at the moment. I'm not giving nintendo a penny more than I have to for their online service.

I want to do the family plan group purchase but that means I won't get one of the codes.

Nice thanks for that.

I'd be up for joining a family plan if anyone's arranging one. Do we think Nintendo may nip this in the bud at some point? From what I can tell, they haven't strictly said it's just for family use and that this isn't the way it's to be used. Can't see how they could police it anyway?
