I used to see this all the time when launching my digital downloads, but did not realize it was a hint that something was wrong.

Update: I forgot to add when initially writing this that if your Switch frequently says, "Checking if software can be played" when you launch a title, that's an indication that you are not using your registered primary console. It would be nice if the Switch's error messages were more clear about what the real problem was. I do hope this helps others running into the same issue. But apparently this was enough, because according to Nintendo, after de-registering from one Switch console, simply launching the eShop on another Switch where you have a linked profile will automatically register that device as the new primary.Īs I write this my son's Animal Crossing character is running around and pulling up weeds on my island. Nothing obvious happened I didn't get any message saying, "This device is now your primary console" or anything. Next, I got onto my Switch, and under my own user profile, I opened the Nintendo eShop app.On the Shop Menu page, I scrolled down and then clicked Deregister Primary Console.Once logged into the main Nintendo Account page, I clicked the Shop Menu link.On a web browser I logged into my Nintendo Account.In order to make it so we could all play the game on my console I had to de-register my kids' Switch from my Nintendo account, and then register my own Switch as the primary. The Solution: Registering my Switch as the Primary Console If I had downloaded New Horizons onto my kids' Switch instead, we would all have been able to play the game. So here's what was happening: Even though I was the user who purchased New Horizons, since my Switch was not registered as my primary console, I was the only user allowed to play e-Shop-purchased games on that device. This is important: Since I had already created a linked profile on my kids' Switch, as far as Nintendo was concerned, their Switch was my " Primary Console." When we first bought the other Switch for the kids, I created a profile on that device and linked it to my Nintendo account so I could purchase games for them to play on it. Although this was "my" Switch, it was not the first Switch I had created a linked profile on.My kids' profiles on that console are not linked they're just local accounts.

After a very painful download process (it took three re-tries and some Internet settings tweaks before the game finally downloaded), I was able to play the game just fine.

I purchased Animal Crossing: New Horizons on my Switch. The first one we got is the Nintendo Switch with Gray Joy-Cons, which belongs to the kids, and the second one is the Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy-Cons, which belongs to me. My family was excited about the Couch Co-op Multiplayer feature of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but once the game finally downloaded we faced a couple days of frustration and disappointment due to the console announcing "This user cannot play this software" any time one of my kids attempted to play the game.Īfter a lot of web searching and poking through forum threads we're finally able to play this game as a family, and I wanted to describe how I fixed it in case other people out there experience the same problem.
