Can you buy switch online membership via foreign stores in the same way you can buy games from them please?

I have just borrowed a switch to play Luigi's mansion...I don't want to break anything or overwrite anything - I assume I can create a profile plus additional save games so I don't break his stuff?

Yep, create your own profile and everything will be tied to that.

You may not be able to use online functionality for certain games unless your profile is part of his family plan or you have your own sub though.

You have to:

Copy the game data from SD card to a PC
Use the Switch's data migration tool to move profiles from the old switch to the new Switch
Format the SD card in the new Switch
Copy the game data back to the SD card

Thanks looking at it now. Seems the online way might be easier. Testing with a user

Having recently sold my OG Switch, I have brought the new OLED from the Nintendo Store and should be with me shortly ? Got about £30 off making it £278.99 for the OLED version. I got the screen protector ready and I have to get another Micro SD Card as I stupidly left the one in the old Switch that I sold.

Few questions

All of my games I have brought on the shop, is it a case of just logging in using my Nintendo account and then download ?

Also does the OG official case fit the OLED Switch at all ? If not ill be getting another case shortly.

Cheers y'all

1. Yes but make your new Switch the primary Switch or you will have to always be online to play your games.

2. Yes.

Ok cheers, I did format to factory on my old Switch before I sold it.

Good to know that I don’t need to get another case, although the new official white border one looks alright. Any one got one ?

For the N64 classics via the online membership, are they downloaded and run locally or streamed via cloud *****?

They are downloaded and run locally.

As above but you will need to be online to verify you can access them.

i thought metroid dread looked good on the switch OLED to begin with but so far Ori seems to be on another whole level when it comes to visuals.

Locally but the input lag is as high as if you were streaming :rolleyes:

I don’t.
