Things you buy on the Nintendo Switch eShop will reportedly be associated with a user account, rather than a specific piece of hardware.
On current Nintendo systems, if you buy a digital game for a console, it stays there and it can't be recovered if you want to download it on another system. According to NintendoLife, a statement in the Switch UI suggests this will no longer be the case when the Switch launches.
A NeoGAF user who received one of the new consoles early has apparently found a statement saying: "Your Nintendo account contains your Nintendo eShop purchase history and current balance. By re-linking your Nintendo Account after initializing the console, it will be possible to redownload any software or DLC purchased using that account. (Software that has been discontinued may not be available for redownload in some cases.)"
