I'm ready for a Nintendo Switch PRO!

You know what would be cool?, an accessory for the switch that had backwards compatibility with other Nintendo platforms

[doobiefry]

The title should have been 12 minutes of a guy putting discs in a DVD player

* clicking on the vid *
Me: Are there any cartriges that fit in the-
Guy: so today we will be testing x box one-
Me: WHAT

[silveranimations]

Spoiler alert!








Nothing works

9:20 warning this disk is only for use on the sega Dreamcast, please put it in a sega dreamcast.

[kikayei]

I’ll never get back those 12 minutes and 39 seconds of my life.

2:43 The way you bent that disk gave me anxiety

[ARIGHETTI]

It's sad that you can't play DS & 3DS game on the Switch! 🤷‍♂️

[vladimirputin]

I think the limitations was the lack of drivers and the disc player itself, console discs are often illegible to typical dvd players and there wouldn't have been necessary drivers to run the disc anyways.

dude, you cant just plug a dvd reader into a nintendo switch and say "that'll do", you need one thats capable of reading those game disks and you need to be able to know that the disk drive is even exchanging information with the console in the first place

[woveeh]

If a company goes full on and does a backwards compatibility switch like accessories and games id LOVE that

[ratkingwastaken]

*I knew that this wouldn’t work, yet I still decided to waste 12 minutes of my life on this*

[emiliomurkmere]

my man genuinely tried to put ds cartridges into a switch

[meltixpa]

What happens when you put a foreign disc in a Nintendo Switch?
Nothing.

[JHRReviews]

I think a better test would have been if you used a Blu-Ray disc reader since most of the formats you used would naturally not work inside a DVD player anyways.

Me: too big 4 switch lol

[somerandomperson]

This makes me think that an official external disk drive for the switch which could read gamecube disks and wii disks, that would also download a copy of the game on the disk so you could play it in hand held mode would have been a really good idea for Nintendo to do.

[mochadokies]

switch pro, now including dvd playback support!


* note: requires an active switch online subscription and app download.
