Took Nintendo long enough.
Even if you have multiple Nintendo Switches at home, sharing digital games has always been a no-go. While you can easily pop a physical game cartridge out of one Switch and into another, digital games don’t offer anywhere near that kind of flexibility. Your only options have been to either use the same Nintendo Account or buy another copy. Thanks a lot, Nintendo.
Well, that’s finally changing. Nintendo introduced Virtual Game Cards during today’s Nintendo Direct event, where they showed off a bunch of new games and announced a news app, Nintendo Today.
You’ll be able to lend digital games to your family members for 2 weeks
Moving forward, any digital games you purchase on a Switch will be installed on your system as a Virtual Game Card.
