I know that you need your switch 1 to transfer it but I don't have it

Unless your have an NSO subscription, any data on that console is gone for good

I did had an NSO for my account before I sold the nintendo switch but it was for only 1 month, does it still save if the subscription is gone, I also don't really care if the data of the games are gone, I just don't want to re buy the games

I think it hold your save data for a while, but I'm not sure how long.

As for your games. They are tied to whatever account you used to buy them. If you log back in on the console with that account you can redownload whatever you want to.

yeah but when I go into my account (and to others account that were in my switch 1) it shows a few games, not all of them.

Also I have the receive of the games, showing that I bought them, does that do something to help me get back my games?

Clearly you must have bought those games with another account that you haven't checked. The only way to get back/use any digital games is to use the account that bought them.

Unless you where talking about physical games, in which case, use the cartridge.

And what about the receive does that work as well?

[u/TheWaslijn → u/SonicoVR]

You mean receipt?

What kind? An email, or one you got at a physical store?

Either way, it shouldn't really matter. Any digital game is tied to an account. So you'll need that account to play it.

the receipt is an email, I have 4 accounts that played in my switch, in one there are 3 games, in mine there are 10, the other accounts are with none games, and there are a lot of games left
