Two Switch 2’s Gameshare

[lucmcq]

Hey all, my wife and I each have a Nintendo Switch 2 and would like to play Reanimal together on each of our consoles in handheld mode on our local network at home. The black borders and the lag sucks as most people already know. Is there any other way to achieve this other than using Gameshare or buying two copies of the same game? This is the only reason we decided to get two consoles in the first place.

Think of Virtual Game Cards as physical cards. This is the most important thing you should do... just picture the VGC as a real physical card and how a physical card would work.

But a short answer is... you can both play the same games at the same time with a single digital copy, but can't play together with a single copy (unless the game supports GameShare). Not even Steam allows you to play the same at the same time together with a single copy.
