Nintendo's new account system

Nintendo took to its Nintendo Direct to announce Nintendo Switch Virtual Game Cards which is essentially an overhaul to its account system.

You can purchase a digital game and load it onto your Nintendo Switch 1/2 as a digital game card. You’re then able to load this onto a second system as well, and you’re also able to lend games to Nintendo Switch family group members via local wireless for up to 14 days.
