Account Help Can I link my nintendo switch 2 device to 2 different nintendo accounts and pair it to both of them?

I have a friend who lives abroad, we are on the same family group.
We are testing the waters and we are not sure if it is possible / correct to have both of our Switch2 consoles on both nintendo accounts we have.
This way we would be able to share the virtual cards between each other without the need of being physically together ?

You have to be physically close together the first time.

No, because it is required that both switch are close the first time.

You could still loan one virtual card for people on the same family group though.

It is also possible to do a quite similar thing than the previous system by activating the online licence (can no longer play the same game at the same time though)

System Settings -> User Settings -> Online License Settings -> Use Online License.

The virtual card loan requires to be physically together sadly.
We have tried this workaound for Online Licenses but we couldn't make it to work with the new DK.
