Tried launching the same game on two systems. The only limitation I can see is that you can't play them simultaneously if the second console is online. And obviously you'd need to transfer a save file (which I recently learned you can do console to console without an online subscription. I'm pretty anti Nintendo these days, but I don't have a huge problem with that. Both of these are on my account, so I can't speak to the experience of family sharing.
@Gryffin You can launch the same game on two consoles simultaneously if the Primary console opens it with a user other than the one that owns the game (ALL users on the primary console have access to a game regardless of who actually bought it.

The primary console thing is weird to me. It's like an unecessary vestige of the completely awful 3DS system where you could only have one system.

I guess I'm wondering how the virtual carts will affect an old single soul like me. I have and will only have one account. So with the virtual cart, will I be able to do what I just did?
@Gryffin It won't be possible under the new system, but if you want to keep doing, they said there will be an ability to turn it off and use the old way.

Yeah I noticed someone mentioned that in the news story comments. That's great news. To your understanding, what would happen then in the video I made, assuming virtual carts were enabled?
@Gryffin Well, they showed you could have a game on one system or the other, but not both. We don't know the full details, but if you had a virtual game card in the left system, that virtual game card wouldn't be in the system on the right. Now if that means it can't be downloaded or just can't be accessed we don't know, but it definitely seems pretty clear you can't access the same game on two consoles at once.

thanks. My guess is it will require a transfer process. Probably a pretty simple switch of just toggling it to the other console, especially after you've already registered it. And I assume it will then be immediately accessible.
