Platina on 21 October 2016

Wii U was basically guaranteed not, so no surprises there

I would have liked to have bc with the 3DS, but it's fine..

The 1st one may or may not happen, but Ninten never was known to play movies and blue ray, and do you really expect the Switch to play Wii U titles now, with its change to carts..?

I don't expect the Switch to have to play BC games but I also don't expect the ps4 either given how different the ps3 architecture was. 

 

Playstation was known to play blu ray and the Pro still is.  UHD is super niche and will never take off. The point is it's funny people try using one thing to shit on one company but completely ignore it for others. 

Well, perhaps some people used UHD to give the Pro a hard time, but there were people genuinely upset about the lack of it on the Pro.

Yeah some people were but it was blown way out of proportion.

Sucks but it was expected, I do think they will somehow bring Wii U and 3DS games to switch via e-shop or ports.

So we would have a piece of tape across the Switch screen then? Either way it just sounds awkward.

Or they could simply let a 10-pixel wide black line?

It's almost too simple to work... oh... wait no it isn't, it's exactly how it works on the Wii-U and Vita emulation of the DS.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

3DS compatibility would have been a win.

Good. Otherwise it wouldn't be counted as next gen.

"Nintendo Switch not compatible with 3DS nor Wii U game." That is literally not at all what was said.
