I have scoured the internet and can't seem to find an answer. I want to transfer my 200 GB of games from one system to another, NOT redownload them all. After transferring my system and making the new switch lite a primary and the old one a secondary, but when I transfer the SD card it says I can't do that I have to redownload all the games! and then offers to wipe the previous DL games off the card!!! HELL NO!!!!
I have scoured their question boards and can't find the answer either...
The 3ds did it, why can't this. Anywhere I have asked around, everyone wants to tell me what I already know, as though they're some genius: " Oh transferring saves is easy blah blah blah, " I never said I wanted to transfer saves, just the games on the SD card.
I don't have enough data left this month to DL 200 GB AGAIN and wouldn't want to even if I could, my speeds are laboriously slow, to begin with. Why waste a month of net on a transfer. I'm sitting at 75 GB used and only have 1028 per month at a snails download speed to begin with, at $100. USD a month, (I know my net provider suck ass.) That's why they're called COX I guess...
They have something under transferring data /User but that only shows how to delete from the old system and says to DL all the stuff new on the other system; this sucks moose balls. unacceptable. oh and BTW that makes the games "no longer playable on the first console"; what's the point of primary and secondary then?
This means I have to DL 26+ GB for R.E. Rev ,2
12 gb for FF, another 12 for R.E. Rev. 10 for Grid, 10 for Okami, 10 each for another 8 games and then 5 GB... I think you're getting the idea, one months data in one transfer, this is the last console I buy from them, I swear my life on it.
I'm sure I'm missing something here, but I'll be dammed if I can figure out how to transfer the games to the new primary without redownloading ALL the games again. And if there is no answer, and I have to, I may just sell both consoles and give up on Nintendo gaming. No other console maker makes their transitions of games so convoluted. I hope hackers pirate the shit out of this console, just for making something so simple, into a complex epileptic seizure. Just to transfer a game. And they wonder why people want physical games only... Pft.
And here's something else they don't tell you: Not only does the secondary switch have to check online to see if other games are being played but THEY BOTH have to check first to see if the other is in use before a game boots, although I'm unsure what the result is if it can not connect: I can imagine....
Sorry for the rant I was about to go hari cari on this dammed thing.
I actually hope no one read this but I had to get it off my chest.
