Something from the Kimishima Time interview that I think deserves its own thread. http://time.com/4662446/nintendo-president-switch-interview/
Let me dream of what they could do for a minute.
Wiimote connected Controllers - The Switch doesn't have a sensor bar, but it sure would be nice to be able to use Wii and Wii U arcade sticks, NES Classic controllers, and Wii Classic controllers on Switch with games like Ultra Street Fightter II and Arcade Archives and VC.
The Wii U GamePad - Too crazy! Totally not happening! But it would allow for Wii U ports with all the second screen functionality.
Wii U Pro Controller - A cheaper alternative to the Switch Pro Controller. It would be nice for Virtual Console.
GameCube Controller Adapter - No need to make a new adapter, you can just hook the old one up for whatever Smash comes to Switch and GC VC, if that happens.
Is Switch powerful enough to emulate Wii U games, or would they have to be ports, like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
We can take games and bring them and make them playable on Switch. So they can be remade for Switch, yes.
That said, Switch is not backward compatible with games designed for other systems, and is not currently compatible with controllers designed for other systems. Support for certain controllers may be considered for a future update. In some cases, games from past systems may be re-released for the Nintendo Switch system as either enhanced or original versions.
