Do I have to buy a game twice if I have two Nintendo Switches?

Yes, for simultaneous play on two separate consoles, you generally need two copies (physical or digital) because Nintendo's system links digital licenses to one primary account/console, though a single physical cartridge can be swapped, and new "GameShare" features (for Switch 2) allow limited sharing, but still usually one person at a time per physical copy unless it's a special game. For digital games, you can use one account as primary on the main console and set the other as a secondary (or use a family plan), but simultaneous play of the same title often requires two purchases unless a specific game supports local wireless play with one copy.
