Re: Nintendo Announces 'Virtual Game Cards' For Switch, Unlocking Digital Lending

If I'm understanding correctly, this is a big downgrade for families that share two Switches.

Right now I have my primary account set up on our family Switch, and my own personal Switch. We can play a single copy of Animal Crossing together simultaneously because of this. However, this makes it look like the virtual game card can only work on one Switch at a time.

In addition to this, it would also make it much harder for my kid to just pick up their Switch and play a game. "Which Switch is Animal Crossing installed on? Hang on, I have to get both Switches turned on so that I can transfer the card over". This just seems like a huge pain.
