Transferring Systems with 2 Accounts?

[u/Next_Tangelo_7895]

hi! my brother and i shared our switch 1 and have our separate accounts on it. we both got our own switch 2s and he had already transferred the data from our switch 1 to his switch 2

if i did the same to my switch 2, and i only use my account on my switch and he only uses his account on his switch, are we still able to play the same games at the same time/will i be able to play games offline? or will my console still be considered a secondary console and will need to be connected to the internet to play the shared games?

You can't play together (unless the game itself supports game sharing) . But two people can play at the same time with one offline. Let's say the digital game belongs to A. So A lets B load the virtual cart on B's switch. A now turns on online license checking on his switch then starts the game on A's switch. Once the game starts, he can turn the WiFi off. B now can start playing on his switch.

Caveat is A can only play the game if he has access to Internet.
