How to hide virtual game cards Nintendo

Click on the arrow pointing down below any game you want to hide.
Select> Hide and confirm the decision.
If you want to check the filtered VGC and/or disappear, select “View hidden virtual game cards” at the bottom of the VGC portal.

You can find this possibility of De-Facto filtering on the main portal of virtual game cards hidden behind the offer of each individual license. The switches hidden from the account can no longer be found on any consoles to which this account is connected – so long if it is not installed on the device. The only way to download the hidden virtual game card is to open the “Redownload Software” screen, then click or click the big “Find Software” button down. From there, the console invites the user to log in to his Nintendo account, switched to the VGC portal, opened his hidden list and from there installed the filtered item.

The newly added function doubles as the type of parental control panel. It is true that Nintendo already offers the Switch Paretal Controls application, which was previously confirmed that it was working with the upcoming console. So it seems that the ability to hide virtual game cards is used for privacy and practical purposes, which allows users to either hide parts of their massive catalog of the switch from curious eyes, or streamline their considerable library by filtering items that they often do not need access.

Despite their name indicating otherwise, virtual game cards seem to support more than just games. Almost every single e -shop extract gets its own VGC from the box, allowing users to hide everything from games and DLC after applications like YouTube.
