will the switch be capable of playing the games from the WiiU? or is there no backwards compatibility?
Well, considering MK8 is an 'upgrade' and Splatoon '2' looks like Splatoon 1 I'm going to say that not playing WiiU games is a more-than-likely scenario. Remember paying $1.99 to 'upgrade' your virtual console games from Wii to WiiU? Oh boy!
