Something that a lot of you might find really cool: With Nintendo's recent update for the Switch, you can now share most digital games (and DLC) with your friends/family using "Virtual Game Cards". Essentially, you're lending a digital copy of your game to your friends, and lose access to it yourself, for the duration that your friend is borrowing it.

One of the very first things I wondered was if you could share discontinued games that have been delisted. I personally have 2 or 3 of such games myself, including the legacy version of Minecraft Nintendo Switch Edition, which never got a physical release and was delisted from the eShop in 2018 when the bedrock version replaced it.

I went to my friends house today to let him borrow a game, and we decided to test it out. I can confirm that it works! My friend has been wishing he could play the legacy version on Switch for years, and he can now finally do so because I was able to lend my digital game to him!

The lending is for 2 weeks, and the game will be automatically returned to me once the time is up. At that point, I will have to meet up with him in person again if he wants to continue borrowing the game.
