@Whirlybird@TheDarkKnight No? Switch isn’t backwards compatible, like at all. I own a Wii U, a Wii a 3DS, a Game Cube, an N64… to name the most recent Nintendo consoles I have. Nothing I ever bought for them can be used with a Switch.
@Whirlybird@MomoTimeToDie Yes, extremely :( Fingers crossed, I hope the next console is backwards compatible! It happened between GameCube, Wii and Wii U so it’s definitely possible.
The Wii U and the 3DS can be hacked to be incredibly backwards compatible. Wii U can run Wii and GameCube games natively, straight on the hardware, and the 3DS can do that for the old DS and GBA.
The Switch can do none of that, everything they got is ported or emulated.
Haven’t all nintendo consoles been backwards compatible since the Wii though? Don’t Nintendo store games bought on the Wii work on the switch?

Even digital titles? Damn, I thought that any digital titles you bought from the last few generations also worked on the switch.

That’s disappointing.
