A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Nintendo 3DS Pokémon Y - World Edition. No, Pokémon Y (World Edition) will not play on the Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo 3DS and the Nintendo Switch are completely different systems with different hardware. Here is a breakdown of why they aren't compatible: Why It Won't Work Physical Size: The 3DS game cartridge is square and has a small "tab" on the side. The Nintendo Switch uses a smaller, more rectangular cartridge. It physically will not fit into the Switch's game slot. Different Screens: Pokémon Y was designed for two screens (the top 3D screen and the bottom touch screen). The Switch only has one screen, making the original 3DS game files unplayable without a massive software overhaul. No Backwards Compatibility: Unlike the 3DS (which could play older DS games), the Switch cannot play physical 3DS or DS games. What is the "World Edition"? The "World Edition" is simply a reprint of the North American version of the game intended for sale in regions like Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Greece. It is identical in content to the standard US version. It will only play on a Nintendo 3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS, or New 3DS system from the North American region.
