Pokemon Sun/Moon vs Nintendo Switch -- backward compatible?

Oct. 25, 2016

So now that the NX aka the Switch has been officially unveiled, we have a lot more information to work with…. but something struck me. I have seen it stated in the titles of a number of reaction YouTube vids that the Switch will not be backward compatible with either the DS line OR the Wii line.

Here’s the relevant part:How will that work with Sun and Moon?

If the Switch is not backward compatible, will there be Switch versions of Sun/Moon when the Switch is released next year? I find it hard to believe that Nintendo would release a new game in one of their primary series on a device that is going to go obsolete in less than a year…

Well, that’s what they’re doing!

The game’s covers clearly advertise that it is a brand of the Nintendo 3DS console:

Hope I helped. :)
