But what if you tried it the other way around? Popping a Switch cart into the disc drive of a Wii U certainly sounds like a recipe for disaster, and unfortunately that&#8217;s exactly what one owner in North America had to deal with after their son got his hands on both systems.<\/p>\n<p>In a post on Twitter, user <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Cruzlink2\">Jose A Cruz<\/a> shared photos of a gutted Wii U console in order to remove a bunch of Switch carts from the disc drive. Looking at the photos, it looks as though there are four carts in total, and while it&#8217;s not possible to see all of them, we can see that three of the four are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/wolfenstein_ii_the_new_colossus\">Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/mario_party_superstars\">Mario Party Superstars<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/donkey_kong_country_tropical_freeze\">Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze<\/a>.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Last night <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ArcadeBrooklyn?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ArcadeBrooklyn<\/a> I opened a Wii u in order to remove some switch games from the disc drive.
