Put the card in a Switch OLED and it reformatted. Over 400 hours of progress gone. It wasn't stored on the cloud for whatever reason?

I had an arsenal of ancient weapons and didn't even beat the game yet. Luckily my MK8 data was stored on the switch itself.

Shouldn't it always do this? wtf

It prompted me to reformat for some reason.

But I now see the save data may be on the OLED model. Trying to send it to the OG switch and see what happens

Save data is only stored on the console.

Because when you insert a microSD card into a Nintendo console, Nintendo ties it to that console, and the only way it'll work on another console is to reformat it.

Which I don't get in this case. I only played the game on the old Switch, yet somehow that save data no longer exists on it and ended up on the OLED switch. My last save was from 2020 and I got the OLED this year.

Anyway I got it transferred over so I can sell this thing. Glad I caught it before I restored to factory settings.
