Free tier	No pool at all: one save slot per supported game title. A personal subscription covers one account and a family plan covers eight unit none; metered on object-count
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	One save data file per software title for each Nintendo Account. There is no aggregate cap and no way to store non-save bytes
Retention	Saves are deleted when the subscription lapses
Egress	Console-mediated only. There is no HTTP API, so there is no egress path at all
Identity	email a Nintendo Account and a paid subscription
Limits	per-object-cap one save file per supported title per account source write-gated an active Nintendo Switch Online membership is required, and the only client is the console source
Binding	per-object-cap The advertised absence of a storage limit is bound to one save file per title, so the per-object cap is the whole quota. There is no pool to measure.
Interface	unknown
Tooling	none public. The switch's own backup menu is the only client
Composes with	Nothing to multiply: there is no capacity number to shard, and the practical ceiling is titles owned times per-title save size, which is tens of gigabytes at most
Reliability	Multiple games are excluded from backup entirely, and saves are deleted when the subscription lapses. The console is the only client, so there is no programmatic read or write path
Notes	Recorded because the vendor's sentence is a good example of an unlimited claim that is technically true and structurally empty: 'no limit to the amount of storage space' next to 'one save data file per software title'. The corpus's own storage topic carries a record for the same provider; this one is scoped to the pan question and adds the console-only access note.
