    You have a Nintendo account. Under your account is your primary device. You buy a game under your Nintendo account. You can then play on any device that you’re signed into. Or any account on your primary device can play the game. (Xbox had this same setup for years.) Working example: you buy Mario Kart. Your friend comes over. You sign in on your friend’s Switch, and hand them your switch and they use any other account on the device (including local). You then can both play the same copy/license of Mario Kart.

    Now there are two options: virtual game cards, and online licensing. VGC is what all of the noise/confusion is about. Online licensing is very similar to the old method, but they closed the loophole I outlined above.

    I devtooled the “Not Available” button to be enabled and it worked lmao

    I can respect that 😂

    Can confirm that Best Buy was messed up, the page repeatedly crashed the app. Target had availability for about 45 minutes I think. Yeah, I know Target bad. But Walmart and GameStop also bad. Nintendo bad.

    …me bad?
