Can Nintendo family members play different games?

Yes, Nintendo family members can play different games on separate consoles, primarily by using physical cartridges, or by setting up digital sharing with specific configurations (like primary/secondary consoles or game lending) for digital purchases, though digital sharing has limitations like requiring an internet connection or restricting simultaneous play. The easiest way for everyone to play different games at once is with separate physical copies, while digital sharing requires managing which console is primary/secondary or using the temporary lending feature for family groups.
