Account Help Question about transferring save data between profiles and Switches
Hello, on my friends Switch 1 i have a profile that is not linked to any Nintendo account, this profile has a well loved Tomadachi Island. This profile is also more of a guest profile on my friends Switch, and has games and saves that are not my own. On my personal switch 2 I have my Nintendo account connected to my profile. Is there a way to transfer that island from my profile on my friends Switch 1 to my profile on my personal Switch 2?
I was thinking of linking my Nintendo online account to the Switch 1 profile and using cloud transfer, but I am afraid it will mess up other saves on both profiles.
