Ever wondered if you can have your Nintendo account on more than one Switch? Well, you’re not alone! This question is on the minds of many Nintendo enthusiasts looking to maximize their gaming possibilities.

Let’s dive into whether you can spread your Nintendo love across multiple Nintendo Switch consoles.

Short Answer: Yes, But With a Catch

Good news, gamers! You can indeed use your Nintendo account on multiple Nintendo Switch consoles. However, there’s a little twist to how it works that’s worth paying attention to.

While you can log in to your Nintendo account on different Switch devices, only one console can be your ‘Primary Console.’ On your primary console, any user can play the games you’ve downloaded. Meanwhile, on non-primary consoles, only the account holder can access and play these games, and you’ll need an internet connection to start these games.
