If I were to buy a game and play it on my friends switch (since I do not have a switch anymore but am trying to buy one again), is it possible to transfer that save data from my friends switch to my new switch? I think I read somewhere that I would need to be logged into a switch with my nintendo account?

Best Answer
You'll have to log-in your Nintendo account at your friend's Nintendo Switch, play that game, save some data. But 3 things ware needed before :
After that, you can sync your saved game to your new Nintendo Switch.
UPDATE
Here's some unofficial list of games so far that doesn't support Save Data Cloud Backup
