Despite the Joy-Con controller not being compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2, the Nintendo Switch console can still be useful for charging the Joy-Con controllers and receiving locally shared games from the Nintendo Switch 2 console using GameShare.

Download play was also on 3DS. But for the life of me. Outside of the obvious ones (All the Mario Multiplayer games and most of the launch games). Can’t remember games that used it.

This is the dumbest setup. It blows my mind that people are supporting this.

Nintendo killed game sharing.. we can no longer play the same game at the same time online like we used to prior to this update and like ps5 and xbox has done it since xbox360

upload them to a computer and help build an emulator is how you properly share switch 2 games 🙂

this isn’t sharing. it’s borrowing and binding accounts and consoles.
