Question about new Switch Lite Animal Crossing: New Horizons Edition

[Blythe93]

I'd like to purchase new Switch Lite Animal Crossing: New Horizons Edition, but I wonder how the game is tied to the console? Is it linked to the console or to the user account once you log into it? Does that mean that I can play that game on my OLED as well? Well, after logging out on my Lite that is.

It will supply a redeemable code that will be linked to your Nintendo account when you use the code.

As long as the device has your Nintendo account on it. You'll have access to the game.

Whatever switch is currently set as your "primary" switch (first switch you registered with your Nintendo account) will be able to launch the game without an online check.
All secondary devices will need to be online to verify the game first.

Also as far as Animal Crossing is concerned, there's no save syncing. Each console will have a different save. You can do a transfer from one console to another, but it's a one time kind of thing. So you'll need to decide which device you want to play the game on. Or just have two separate islands on each device.
