NES Classic Edition
In this article, you'll learn how to save game progress or create a Suspend Point and how to lock or unlock a Suspend Point.
Note: In addition to Suspend Points, some games include in-game save features.
Complete these steps
- While in a game, press the Reset Button on the console to create a temporary Suspend Point in the HOME Menu (indicated by the flapping wings).
- A temporary Suspend Point is not saved automatically, and will be deleted if the system is shut off or if another game is started prior to saving it.
- Press Down on the D-pad to move the temporary Suspend Point to a save slot in the Suspend Point List, then press A to save it.
- You can save up to four Suspend Points for each game.
- If there are no available save slots for a given game, you can save a new Suspend Point over an existing one. The previous Suspend Point data will be lost.
- A saved Suspend Point is indicated by a blue save slot in the Game List.
- Suspend Points can be locked to avoid being overwritten or deleted. Use the D-pad to highlight an existing Suspend Point from the Suspend Point List, then press Down to lock it. Press Down again to unlock it.
- While in the Suspend Point List, a locked Suspend Point is indicated by a yellow padlock.
- While in the Game List, a locked Suspend Point is indicated by a yellow save slot.
