Judging by the rumors, reliable as they are, while it should much more powerful, Cafè still may have in common at least something with the old Wii and GC architecture since it still uses IBM PowerPC CPU and Radeon GPU. So the console may be retro-compatible without emulation. In that case the console is for sure capable of output those games in 720p and even in 1080p (if Nintendo wants to do that) even without game-specific patches. The only thing that won't change are 2D sprites and animations, at worse you can still see those equally as good as you can on 480p, while the rest of the scenario looks better. I think also, in that eventual case, it's even potentially possible to play GC and Wii games in 3D but, in that case, I think a game-specific patch to adjust the 3D effect is required.


Hooray to you for the promising news.

And thanks to the rest of the guys who helped me out by answering!
