This morning my Switch was banned (most likely because of leftover tickets from a dumb pirating mistake I did back in 2018), however my Nintendo Account seems to not have been affected as I can still log into it on my PC, use the mobile apps, get platinum points on My Nintendo, etc. I know I can unlink the Nintendo Account from my PC through the Nintendo website once a year, and then log on to a new Switch and reinstall everything, but my question is, are my save files that are on the cloud safe? My NSO subscription doesn't expire until January, and even then I have the option to extend it through the Nintendo website. (I'm also assuming that Save Data wont backup anymore on the banned console, so I'm SOL on trying to play anything currently and transferring the new data)

get a new not banned modded switch, then transfer saves to it from banned one.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
