I've been using the Wii to play Gamecube stuff recently. Mostly multiplayer games. It IS pretty handy to not have to exhume an old system just to play some Double Dash. But it doesn't play import games like my self-modded Gamecube, which has a switch and tiny, hand-drawn American and Japanese flags!! @kriswrightI agree with most of that. BC is pretty great when I didn't own the predecessor (even the limited BC of the Xbox 360). But I usually keep my old consoles, so I don't necessarily need it on Nintendo platforms. That said, it's still oddly important to me! Handhelds are a bit different, though. The games are often tied to the hardware in such a way that playing them on the original version is usually the best experience. For example, I HATE the way that the GBA button layout translates to the DS. Actually, I just hate the DS button layout... Having access to the previously inaccessible Game Boy library with the GBA was great (though the lack of Super Game Boy emulation bugged me). I still have to grab a GBA SP+. I should just live at Half-Price Books until a unit in good condition rolls in for $10, or whatever. You know, that sentence didn't even need a qualifier. I should just live at Half-Price Books, full stop. Kettles of fish are almost always backwards compatible. |

I guess?
I still have my Wii, and its still hooked up. I would've traded Backwards Compatibility in the Wii, too, for GameCube reasons.
I've said it before; the thing that gets me is these other companies talk about how important something is....until they aren't doing it. "Oh, its GOT to have backwards compatibility, what would we do without it?!" And then theres a big stink about not being able to play PS3 games or whatever, and then the Wii U is like "dudes, you can still play Wii games here, rock it," and those guys are like "...w-well....SO??" And everyone is like "..YEAH, SO WHAT. WHY AREN'T YOU MORE POWERFUL?! *SCOFF*"
I wouldn't be surprised if the "can't play used games" thing fell through either and nobody cared.
Basically, Nintendo is always the oil pan. |
