formatiing the console removed all installed games.
If the person signed into a nnid, you won't be able to download the games again

It was signed in but they want the password so it’s currently not logged in the nnid
So I won’t be able to download them if I have my own nnid or?

Ah i see
But I think I will remove it

frank berry

tawdry berry
obviously.. you can buy them...at least before the eshop closes
