Nintendo Switch won't support backwards compatible games

The Nintendo Switch games list has taken a hit with the news that the console won't be backwards compatible.

This means that Nintendo Switch owners won't be able to play Wii and Wii U classics on the system when the March release date rolls around.

The Nintendo Switch will have some kind of Virtual Console support, but fans will have to pay extra to access these NES and SNES classics.

Future Nintendo Switch updates might bring classic controller support to the console.

The Nintendo Switch news was confirmed by company president Tatsumi Kimishima, who told Time: "Switch is not backward compatible with games designed for other systems, and is not currently compatible with controllers designed for other systems."

Little Inferno Nintendo Switch launch game

Interestingly, Nintendo also hinted at future remasters, before confirming that downloadable software would be supported at launch.

"Support for certain controllers may be considered for a future update," he continued.

"In some cases, games from past systems may be re-released for the Nintendo Switch system as either enhanced or original versions..

"We can confirm that it will be possible to purchase and play downloaded software at launch, but we are not sharing further details at this time."

And the Nintendo Switch games list recently hit double figures, as World of Goo, Little Inferno and Human Resource Machine all joined the games lineup.

It comes just days after Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ was announced as a Nintendo Switch launch game, which was followed by the announcement of I Am Setsuna.

The current list of Nintendo Switch launch games can be found below:

  • 1-2-Switch – March 3
  • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – March 3
  • Skylanders Imaginators – March 3
  • Just Dance 2017 – March 3
  • Super Bomberman R – March 3
  • Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ – March 3
  • I Am Setsuna – March 3
  • World of Goo – March 3
  • Little Inferno – March 3
  • Human Resource Machine – March 3
