Nintendo confirms cross-platform play for Wii U and 3DS
Nintendo has confirmed to Develop that developers can create Wii U and 3DS titles that will connect with rival platforms.
Earlier this week, UK developer Ripstone claimed that it was working on a title that would let Wii U owners play against smartphone users.
Now the platform holder has told Develop that not only is it possible to make cross-platform games, but that it is keen for studios to do so.
"We can confirm that cross-platform functionality is possible in certain titles that play on Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, as well as other video game systems not made by Nintendo," a spokesperson told Develop.
"We are committed to helping developers realise the full potential of their software on Nintendo systems."
Earlier this week, Microsoft's Phil Spencer hinted that cross-platform play may also be possible between Xbox One, PC and mobiles.

FalsifiedNintendo was the king of gaming. They revolutionized home console gaming, allowing other companies to make their own consoles.-Hardwell Well i think it is good that this is still going :0
Nothing about Nintendo is good, honestly. They have tried to hard now; it's pointless.
Sometimes, I wish I could play Mario on the N64.

It's expected that they would try to do something like this. They really need to innovate when it comes to their products, especially the Wii U and this is a pretty good way to do it
