@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.
Even digital titles? Damn, I thought that any digital titles you bought from the last few generations also worked on the switch.
Literally none of them do.
That’s disappointing.
@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.
