So if Star Fox Grand Prix is real, and Ridge Racer 8 is also real, could we actually be getting two exclusive racing games this fall?

@shadow-wolf You can access both, obviously.

Oh yeah...Ridge Racer. Good luck Star Fox I guess...

I have one more stupid question. Does anyone know how the eshop downloads and the switch active console (account) works.

Lets say I download a game with my Switch account from the eshop. I put that game on SD card. I know I can't play it on another console. But if I don't have internet connection I am still able to play the game from that specific SD card if I put it into the Switch again?

Is this how it works? Does it require authentication from time to time or something like that?

@Zuljaras Nope. Once a game is downloaded, that's it. You don't need to connect to the internet again unless you want to patch it, or use any online features within the game.

@link3710 So the Switch has some way or remembering the user I used to download the game even offline? I have no idea how this works. If I have my user linked with the account I can play any game offline as long as I am with that user?

Come to think of it. Is it possible to create new user offline and then go back to the linked with account user again offline?

@Zuljaras So the way it works is that each game you download is encrypted using a particular code (this is linked to the Switch, not the user). Right now, as long as you put back the SD card in the same Switch, or in one you did a system transfer to, the game will still be playable. To any other switch, it's just a meaningless pile of code. I don't think (though I'm not 100% positive) that you can use a game you downloaded on one Switch by logging in as yourself on a different Switch.

As for the second part of your question, I'm not quite sure what you're asking? But you can switch between users freely on the Switch regardless of online/offline status.

@link3710 Hm this sounds nice. I though the game is locked to the Switch account that is linked to the user. But it is the console itself. Thanks for the info.

I am asking so I could make physical media of Digital only games. Like one SD card = one game.

link3710

@Zuljaras There's no reason you couldn't, but that card is only going to work on one Switch.

IceClimbers

@link3710 That info is incorrect. Games are tied to your Nintendo Account, which can be linked to one Switch at a time. You can deactivate that account through the eShop, log in on a different Switch and download your games.

@IceClimbers Hm, I was under the impression your SD card was encrypted based on the console itself however. The question that was asked was whether you could bring over an SD card from another console if you moved accounts as you mentioned, not if purchases moved over.

I don't know why Ridge Racer has continued to exist. They could make 800 Ridge Racer games, and the only thing most people will ever know it for is for being part of the reason Ps3 was such a joke early on. Wii Music made a ton of money and Nintendo never did anything with that again, presumably out of fear of reminding people of THAT E3, and considering it would've been Wii U Music as a sequel, that was probably the right choice.

If this Star Fox Grand Prix (what a terrible name) is real, which I really hope it's not, I do wonder how much interest there is in the IP outside of a niche core Star Fox fan base? It's never been a massive selling series as is. Being a great game will likely be a given considering it's Retro, but great may not be good enough. To cover 4+ years of development costs plus marketing, I fear Nintendo may expect unrealistic sales figures.
