After all, who has never missed the practicality of physical cartridges even after migrating to digital? For now, with this new function, games bought via download can be used as if they were real cartridges. That is, you can virtually “insert” the game on another console of your family in a practical way, without having to download everything again.

How does the virtual cartridge work?

As detailed by Nintendo, this function allows the digital game to be "set out" in another Nintendo Switch that belongs to your account or is linked to your Nintendo family . However, it is noteworthy that it will not be possible to lend the virtual cartridge to friends who are not registered as members of your family in the Nintendo ecosystem.

Functions such as “ Ossowake Tsūshin ” - something like simplified communication to share games - and the full data transfer to the new console are also present, although they can only be used after the official Switch 2.
