    What.

    You buy a new switch, log into your account, and download them. Or put your physical games into the new Switch.

    You’re describing every console ever, but blaming Nintendo specifically. Why?

      Im going to ignore you sounding like a Nintendo rep and say that I think the poster assumes your account is locked to the console itself, which after I just checked (because that would be crazy if that was the case) is not the case but that console is considered a ‘primary console’ and that designation would have to be transferred to a different one in the event your current one breaks. I don’t think the OP knows this (and as I don’t own one myself, i didn’t initially either)

      Isn’t this referring to the progress you have made in a specific video game?
