Switch question

    Hey folks,

    Hope someone can answer this. Two of my kids are after a switch.

    They’ll be getting one each (not a lite), if one is playing a game (e.g. minecraft), can the other join the game without having the cartridge (or whatever it uses is) if they’re on the same network?

    Sorry if it seems like a dumb question.

    Or if the games are download, can I create one account, download minecraft (again for example) to both switches and they can both play with different Mojang accounts?

    It definitely can't be done with a cartridge.

    It definitely can be done with a digital download of the game though, it is all to do with setting up as a family and one switch being used as the main account. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along to tell you exactly how it's done.

    About €13 in the South African eShop (better than paying €29.99 here).
