I'm really enjoying Sky Force Reloaded. Probably the 4th time getting the game. For $6 on sale, I think it's worth it. Will check out Ikaruga

I found a reddit thread on this. And I think their method works perfect. I am not paying for Nintendo's online service.

-I have 2 nintendo switches. One for my brother and one that I use.
-The account I started with we kept as the one for all digital purchases.
-On my switch I created a 2nd account that I log in and can play all the games from my primary account. I dont use the primary account to play.
-i added my primary account to my bros switch. That's the account he plays on.

With this method, we both can play the same digital game at the same time. Compared to the method where if we both played using the primary account only 1 switch would run the game.

Yup. That's how it normally works and you don't need Nintendo online service for that. But if you want cloud saving, you do. Otherwise, the games are saved locally. Also, even with online service, both Switches can't play the same digital game on the primary account (edit: I believe technically you can if the primary Switch is offline, the second switch needs to be online at all times to play digital games). The main draw of the service is cloud saving and playing MP online with others.

Hello?

In regards to game sharing on the switch. Looks like I can add my account to a second switch. Log in to my account on that switch to play my downloaded games. However, it also looks like I'll need to stay logged in to my account on 2nd switch to play the game.

How does that affect game saves? Are game saves saved under my account?

Yes, they are. I'm doing the exact thing. If I play my kid's Switch on my account, I can backup the save to the cloud and on my Switch, I can download the latest save from the cloud. Same account and profile

Never used Swappa to buy games but just bought a phone from the site. That's like my 3rd phone. Great experiences

Good luck all!
