Can I Use the Same Nintendo Account on Two Switches?

Ever wondered if you can use your Nintendo account on more than one Switch console? You’re not alone! This is a common question among gamers who might have multiple Switch consoles in their household or simply want the flexibility of having their account on a friend’s or family member’s device.

So, let’s dive in and clear up whether you can use the same Nintendo account on two Switches or not.

Short Answer: Yes, With a Twist

Yes, you can use the same Nintendo account on two Nintendo Switch consoles, but there’s a bit of a catch. Nintendo allows one primary console and one or more secondary consoles to be linked to the same account. This setup comes with certain limitations, especially for secondary consoles.

On your primary console, any user can play the games you’ve downloaded. Plus, you don’t need to stay online to play. However, on a secondary console, you must remain online to play games, and only the account holder can access the games.
