I have a question about the Nintendo account being shared by two Switches

I currently have a Switch 1, when I log into my Switch 2 using my account, will I be able to keep all my digital games on my Switch 1? Or I will need to choose a console to play going forward?

Yes, you can share your Nintendo account with more than 1 Switch and have whatever game you own downloaded -  but you need to make one of them primary otherwise if I remember right, you'll be limited to what games you can play.

I cant remember but I think I made my Switch OLED my primary because I like to play in airplane mode (since I use it for travel and when I'm away from home) and if you do that, if its not primary, you get an error message about Virtual cards.

My Switch 1 OG is stashed away and my Switch 2 is permanently at home and I only use it for docked play while my OLED is only for when I travel and play during my break time at work in airplane mode.
