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?

@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.

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.
