On this page, you can find Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Wii U cross-platform games. Games listed here are confirmed as working with crossplay between these two platforms.

Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch is a gaming platform that allows gamers to play their favorite games at home on their television or on the go. The system comes with two controllers that can be used together in handheld mode or separately in tabletop mode or TV mode. The Switch also has a unique feature called the Joy-Con Grip, which lets you attach the two controllers to the grip and use it as one larger controller. The Switch has a wide variety of games available, from first-party Nintendo classics like Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. to third-party blockbusters like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2. There's something for everyone on the Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo Wii U

The Nintendo Wii U is a home video game console that was released by Nintendo in 2012. It is the successor to the Wii and competes with Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PlayStation 4. The Wii U is the first Nintendo console to support HD graphics and features a 6.2-inch touchscreen display on its GamePad controller, which can be used as a secondary screen or for off-TV play. The Wii U was met with a mixed reception at launch due to its high price and lack of compelling software. However, it has since become home to several popular exclusive games such as Super Mario Maker, Splatoon, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
