if I backup save data of a game cartridge to the cloud, can I redownload it on another console?

Obviously I have to have the cartridge in the other console but I’m wondering, since I’m going to be selling my lite and buying an OLED and I want to know if it will affect the save at all.

Save data is stored on the internal storage it’s not stored on the Gamecard

Some games can’t be saved to the cloud

So for games like that you’ll need both systems to be able to transfer data

You actually don't even need the game (digital or cartridge) in a new console to sync the save data over.

If the game has support for cloud save data, it will just be synced over once you login with your account.
