@NEStalgia And is there a limit on how often I can change which Switch is considered the "primary" system?
Because, if not, then, theoretically, I could make, say, a family member's Switch my "primary," so that they could play my games on their account, and then I could play my own games as well on my Switch after logging in?
@Ralizah I don't believe there's a limit to the number of times you can change your primary, however that's the kind of thing you'd want to really trawl the fine print on the FAQs for before assuming, so you don't end up giving someone else's Switch all your games forever by mistake
@Tsurii You can't play the same games on two systems under the same account at once. But someone can can play the game under their own account on your primary switch regardless of if you're playing it under your account on another switch.
It works "by accident" because the "primary" switch is allowed to contain the authorization to run any of your games without doing the online DRM (otherwise it would be an "Always Online XBone" situation) - so, basically, Nintendo doesn't know who's running the game on your main system while you're playing on another, so long as it isn't you on both. The primary doesn't authenticate each time it's run.
Same setup with X1 and PS4, and works well for me on those platforms because I buy digital games once and both players in my home can play them at the same time. It doesn't work with MMO expansion packs/IAP. I tend to not use it much on Switch, ironically, though, since the physical nature of the console means my own handheld would have to be always online.
@StableInvadeel No, on a secondary system only you can play games that aren't owned by the system's linked primary account. I.E., if I hand you my Switch, you can log in and play any games you digitally own and I don't, but I can't play them. But you can play any games that I bought that you didn't because you're playing on the the primary system of my account, which bought them.

Didn't you have to unlink a primary system before making another system the primary system? And wouldn't that mean @ralizah couldn't access their games before the nephew decides to unlink their switch?
@Matthew010 300 days until Nintendo decides that BotW 2 is the only game that exists, 2016 style.
BotW2 cannot be what BotW was. It can't have the same wow factor, it can't hope to be received as well, even if it's a 'better' game. As such, I'd be surprised if Nintendo gives it the same level of focus as BotW had.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
@gcunit Well Smash Ultimate was given a similar amount of time at E3 2018. Nintendo seems to massively focus on 1 game when they don't have many new games incoming.
While a lot of peoples keep busy to expect what kind of AAA upcoming games or next well known 1st party games for Nintendo Switch, i'm expecting some hidden gems for Switch.
When some peoples don't consider hidden gems, i will digging up those hidden gems and will find extraordinary interest.
I'm sure not many peoples thinking about :
1. Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands
2. Re:Legend
3. Summer in Mara
4. Sikanda
5. Farm Folks
6. Ninjala
@Anti-Matter Stranded Sails has a great aesthetic, but I'm not too confident the game will actually handle all that well. Looked a bit clunky and unconvincing in some of the announcement trailer I just watched.
