I got one! Thank you, my 10 year old will be super happy at Christmas. He doesn't have a Switch lite of his own yet and when he saw this one get announced he said he really wants that Switch lite.
I, one time, changed out a console for another color. I remember I felt so stupid afterward. All that work transfering titles. For just a different color system. These days, if I want a console refresh for a limited edition, I just get a skin. Decalgirl was always my source back when I did that. If you have a solid colored Switch, it makes it easy to skin it.
No to this last Q. Any account can be primary for the console.
You can only be primary on one switch, unfortunately. So primary on the main switch and everyone else can play your games. Secondary on other switches, and must be logged in on your profile to play those games.
Shoot. So a family plan won’t work on a second switch? Thats a huge downside and pretty much talks me out of it. They have their own profiles with their own saves. If they can’t access the games, there’s no point.
Yes it can work. If you want everyone to stick to their own profiles and saves, set the multi-profile console as primary. The other non-primary console will then require an online check to launch games, and cannot run two different digital lisences concurrently. To avoid these conflicts I settled on the arrangement I posted above.
Alright, so if I understand correctly, I just make the Switch Lite the primary and they should be able to access everything normally. I don’t plan on using the Switch lite at all, so we should be all set then. They can’t access the eShop, so that should be all set too.
It's confusing, so let me see if I can clarify further. I'm going to use the term "your profile" to refer to the one with the games on it.
People are talking about different things here.
Thanks for the heads-up man. Just got it last week. I don't understand why they would set limits on the coin redemptions for cartridges.
"Game Sharing" on Switches is really more of a side effect of how their login system works. The intent isn't to "share games" -- the intent is to allowing owned games on a Switch to be played by any other family member using that Switch. "Game Sharing" is the result of users gaming the system.Game sharing on Switch:
I mean, real OGs remember when there was a scramble to order them at full price when it seemed like it was a limited release. I still maintain that despite the lack of a standalone usb c charging at $60 for 2 this was the best of the value of any of those classic controllers.
The lack of USB charging is a huge issue and makes the SNES controller superior in value.
Anyone nostalgic for the n64 controller now there's your sadist masochist. Give me the wave bird gc controller and I'm good.
I liked the N64 controller for most games. It looked stupid built fit well in your hands and all of the buttons were in the right place.
I don't think the duo bundle did well enough to include it there versus doing this marketing that gets it out there a good bit more.
I'm just glad we appear to be getting a physical version in the states, unlike the first two which were digital only (and never appear to go on sale).
