Part of the beauty of subscribing to Nintendo Switch Online is that subscribers can access a treasure trove of classic Nintendo games from past Nintendo consoles.
From the classic Nintendo Entertainment System to the Super Nintendo, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, and SEGA, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can play through old-school games, as well as others.
While these classic games have been emulated to run smoothly on the Switch, they aren't without their limitations, especially when it comes to saving progress.
Unlike modern games that often feature auto-saves or cloud saving, many older titles available through Nintendo Switch Online don't have these conveniences, so players must be careful to manually save their progress so they don't have to restart.
Saving games on previous Nintendo Switch consoles has always been easy. You would simply open the game menu, navigate to the save screen, and select Save.
