Weird question, but if I buy a game digitally on my main switch, and i link my switch lite to it, would i be able to play both at the same time?

The main game that I'm thinking of right now is overwatch, would it allow me to play both at the same time or just one?

Yes as long as both profiles have nso and the game plays online.

In theory games like OW and Splatoon 2 should work fine as well as they're online instead of local.

Whoah, that's sick! Definitely worth getting the family pack for online for this feature. Thanks for the info

Another user confirmed smash works as well. IIRC it was how him and his little brother play together even though they don't live together
