Topic: Why can't i play downloaded digital games offline when there's no wifi?

Yesterday i took my Nintendo Switch Lite with me where the micro sd card i have in it to the laundrymat room area on the second floor of my apartment building.

My Switch Lite has some games I had to redownload from the shop which are Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VII, Tales of Vesperia and Bravely Default II

but when tried to play Final Fantasy VII, a pop up message said something about no connection which is because i was in the laundry room that had no wifi in the first place.

so why cant play a game that have digitally which i downloaded onto my micro sd card.

you should be able to play a downloaded digital game without problems like that but is there some weird flaw from Nintendo where I cant play a downloaded digital game?

and yes my Switch Lite is my main primary handheld and the eshop my only account but that shouldnt be causing this annoying problem.

so what the hell??

Just in case, double check the eshop to make sure your Lite is indeed, definitely, for real, your account’s primary console.

After that, re-read the error messages, which might be just about save data backups or updates.

@Eel yes my Switch Lite is and has always been my primary handheld since 2019.

I just want to know why my Switch Lite wont let me play any digital game offline when theres no wifi in the laundrymat room area.

THats pretty damn messed up. The digital games have always been saved to my one and only micro sd card for cripes sake

@XandertheWise
Is it possible that you downloaded/bought the one game with a different account? Just an idea to make sure.

I bet it’s frustrating, but losing your temper with us won’t do much.

Your situation is very unusual, and all we can really do here is suggest double checking your settings and basic stuff like that.

So here's an idea, if the laundry room doesn't have internet, move to another room. How hard is that?

you just have to switch to a different user and then voila!

well i had to do another archive game save data for some of my digital games. then had to reformat my micro sd card where it should be able to load up and play the digital games that Im redownloading blah blah.

and before people keep asking me the same damn stupid question. No I dont have a second username account for my frikkin Switch Lite et. always had just one since 2019.

One all the digital games Im redownloading gets done whenever maybe late late tonight or tomorrow Ill try loading up a digital game and try playing it in an area in my apartment building where there's no wifi around

@XandertheWise With that kind of attitude why would anyone want to help you?

Yikes, gotta block this guy blahblahblah.

@XandertheWise Locking this now
