Arqade Asked on May 6, 2021

Is the Nintendo Switch backwards compatible with games or accessories from previous Nintendo consoles?

3 Answers

No. The Nintendo Switch is not backwards compatible with any previous Nintendo consoles or controllers. Nintendo has mentioned they are considering re-releasing more Wii U titles on the Switch, such as the upcoming Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

While there are some Wii U games ported to the Switch, you have to buy and beat them again, and no hardware is compatible with both consoles, although SSB Ultimate will see the re-rerelease of the GameCube controller, along with the adapter.

No. Although the Nintendo Switch is not backwards compatible, Nintendo has been releasing older games from the NES and SNES, with their new platform: Switch Online. Additionally, Nintendo has been releasing some older titles from the Wii and Wii U, which have been remastered to be compatible with the system.
