Question: "if I want to take my system with me... if I were to buy a digital game, could I buy it once, or would I have to buy it multiple times so they can use those games?"

Translated answer from Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development General Manager Shinya Takahashi...

"Currently we don't have a system like that in place for Nintendo Switch, but we haven't made any final decisions about how we would approach that going forward in the future, so unfortunately I can't provide any concrete answer for you right now."

There's still a chance something could be lost in the translation here, so don't take this interview snippet as gospel. We'll try to get you clearer details moving forward.
