Hi all,
I realize that this is probably the umpteenth time some of you have read this thread title, but in all the threads I've read, I couldn't find a definitive answer to what I'm looking for.
Here is my question:
Can I move the save data from some of these games, from the banned console, to the clean console? Keep in mind:
Looking forward to some help here.

- I have a launch-day Switch, that has since been banned by Nintendo
- I have a "new" revision Switch, with the longer battery life. This one is Clean, unmodded in any way.
Here is my question:
Can I move the save data from some of these games, from the banned console, to the clean console? Keep in mind:
- This will NOT be using the Nintendo Cloud Save feature, as OG Switch is banned, and I don't even pay for the Online service anymore
- I plan to use the Data Save transfer feature (introduced in OFW 8.0 I think?...I could be wrong) to transfer save data for games that I only ever played via physical cart (ie, BOTW on day 1)
- Does this "Save transfer" feature need a connection to Nintendo Online Services (ie some sort of server-side auth) to work, or just plain old internet access? This is wha I want to know. Obviously, if the answer is the former, this is all for naught
- Does anyone know about games that were played 50/50 with XCIs and Actual Carts? The XCIs were my own Cert dumps, but if I copy those saves over, do we know if any "Traces" may be copied over that wlll lead N to block the newer switch?
Looking forward to some help here.
