Can You Use the Same Nintendo Account on Two Profiles?
Last updated
Ever wondered if you can share your Nintendo account across multiple profiles? You’re not alone! This question pops up quite a bit among Nintendo enthusiasts.
So, let’s dive right into whether it’s possible to use the same Nintendo account on two profiles or not.
Short Answer: Yes, but with a catch
Yes, you can use the same Nintendo account on multiple Nintendo Switch profiles, but there’s a little twist. While you can link your Nintendo account to multiple Switch consoles, the experience isn’t exactly the same across all profiles.
Here’s the scoop: You can set one console as your primary console where any profile can play the games downloaded with your Nintendo account. However, on other consoles or profiles, only the profile that purchased the game can play it. Plus, you need to be connected to the internet to verify it’s you.
