This is a more severe problem with some games, as Nintendo does not keep the newest version of all games on their update servers, so some Game Card games may come with newer versions of the game than the online updater can update to. This results in the game being unplayable if switching to a digital version of the game or a Game Card version that doesn't have the newest version. The only way to bypass this without resetting the system is to use the update synchronization feature that requires two or more Nintendo Switch systems with the game installed, and one with the newest Game Card version installed, to transfer the newest version of the game to another system and then back to the system that needs the newest version to run.<ref>{{Cite web |last=NintendoRevised |date=2024-09-04 |title=This issue *could* ruin Nintendo Switch collecting!
