No, you can only connect to players using the same type of system.

Well for the most part, the Switch's library is completely different.

There's a very small number of games that were on Wii U that have been released in enhanced form on Switch, but I'm not sure if they support crossover play. The obvious example would be Mario Kart 8...I guess there's no huge reason Nintendo couldn't support that, but I kind of doubt they do.

Either way there's not going to be many games that are on both systems anyway since Wii U development is over.

Hey CG

I havent seen any games with this functionality yet but there are already Switch Games with PC and Xbox online play connectivity. This has more to do with the closed nature of the old WiiU online model than the switch unfortunately, so I wouldn't expect to see it.
