I am currently considering buying a second switch for our household, but am still a bit confused about digital content sharing between two devices. My question is: Can a user access games or DLC purchased by another user on both devices if they both have their accounts registered to each of them?
To clarify: We would have two Switches, one of which would be user 1's primary Switch and user 2's non-primary, and the other vice-versa. On user 1's primary Switch, both users can access his digital content. Is that also true for the other one (user 2's primary, user 1's non-primary)?

As it is after this, for each console :
