Nintendo has revealed a update to how to manage digital games on Nintendo Switch. The company offers the “virtual game card” feature, which must change how to play old games on Nintendo devices.
This new virtual game card feature was set in late April by updating the programs, and it is designed to facilitate the processing of digital games while providing a new way for families to share games. Several next addresses have been shown during the latest Nintendo Direct, including very expected Metroid Prime 4: Beyondand Pokemon Myths: ZAAnd The rhythm of the sky is groove. However, the virtual game announcement can be said that the lights are said.
The virtual game card works largely like an actual game card, so that players can “out” a digital game from Switch Nintendo and “Download” on another. This feature allows more than just transporting games between the keyboards that the same person owns; It allows family members to lend toys and lead them among themselves. A family member can “borrow” a local wireless contact game and play it for two weeks.
After the time limit for two weeks, the game returns automatically to the original owner. This system will allow families to play games on multiple switching devices without buying multiple copies. Games like Tamagucci Plazaand Story Story: Grand BazaaarAnd Miracle of the cosmic invasion,, Which will be released later this year, all of which will be part of this new system.
The transfer of games is supposed to be simple. Users can display their virtual game cards and track digital libraries easily. The “output” feature removes the game from one console, creating a space, while putting the “Load” feature on the chosen device.
This direct method guarantees smooth transformations, avoiding complex downloads. More importantly, this feature is not limited to current switching devices; You will also work with the next Nintendo Switch 2 when it is released, so there will be a fixed participation experience across the control unit generations.
There are some restrictions on the virtual game card system that stands out. Although it makes the participation easy within a family group, it does not allow participation with friends or anyone outside that group. Also, the two -week borrowing period keeps the games mostly linked to their original owners. Joint games can be operated through this system only on another device connected to the Nintendo Account family group.
This restriction appears to be just a way to give users the ability to participate, but to prevent them from trying to resale or loan to others to play without playing. This looks very similar to what Microsoft tried in 2013 during the launch of the annual original Xbox One, saying that the players will be imposed fees for sharing games, but this is not.
As many remember, this plan of Xbox caused the PlayStation version Official PlayStation Used educational video response. This video was only one person handing the game to the other and talked about how PlayStation does not feel owned on the material games they sell. Nintendo is still part of the sale of a digital version because it is on its servers.
The main difference is that this revolves around digital games. Digital games cannot be easily delivered to someone else. Although I personally against companies trying to control any part of the game after selling it, this is a good way to allow others to try digitally purchased games without sharing accounts. It is safer and more reliable than the alternative.
This new feature will come to update a regular program in April. Nintendo also confirmed that this system will eventually include new versions such as Saga Frontier 2 RemasterDand Rift from NecrodancerAnd Disney cursed the wicked café.
