The gaming community is still riding the wave of the latest Nintendo console news and we're slowly finding out more about the 2017 system and it might not be good. Interestingly enough, the Nintendo Switch will not play physical copies of 3DS and Wii U titles. IGN has confirmed that aside from the news that there won't be physical playback, digital playback has yet to be confirmed at this time either. This is a bit disheartening considering popular Wii U recent releases like Yoshi's Wolly World, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess HD remake and other big titles like Super Smash Bros Wii U and Super Mario Kart 8, might not be playable on the latest system. It's hard to imagine that Nintendo would move full speed ahead leaving all of those titles (as well as plenty of others) completely out of their catalog. It's also been confirmed that the Nintendo Switch will offer a "single screen," experience, utilizing either the Portable screen or the TV screen which the console is plugged up to. It will not allow gamers' to display something on the small screen which simultaneously playing on the TV screen (a move that hurt Nintendo's relationship with 3rd party games in the past). Endgadget has also cited a source from a recent Nintendo Q&A that while the Nintendo switch is not an intended 3DS successor, one could be coming in the future. Reps for Nintendo have confirmed to various sources that we'll see more about the console in the future so until, we'll just have to keep spinning the rumor mill.
