“This is a game-changer!” – Internet reacts hilariously as Nintendo unveils virtual game cards

Nintendo just unveiled virtual game cards, and netizens seem to be quite excited about the idea. So, it means hassle-free sharing and game management among your friends and siblings!

Nintendo has finally unveiled the new feature, which is expected to have a transformative impact on the gaming community, according to ongoing discussions on X. In the recent presentation by Nintendo Direct, the feature will be added in April.

So, let's understand the implications to decode the hype.

The virtual card allows users to swap between several Switch consoles. Gamers can even lend the card to their family members, one game to each member over a connected local device. However, this is temporary, and after a brief period of 14 days, the card would be sent back to the original owner.

It requires a one-time internet connection while connecting the Nintendo consoles. It is quite similar to that of OTT platforms like Netflix. Some plans allow you to share the ID with family members within a specific geographical range.
