GBA SP plays everything from 1989-2004 (I love the design of the GBA SP, best Nintendo handheld ever). I read up on DS, aparently GBA and GB games are written differently, so they would have to emulate GB and GBC games in order for the DS to play them. However this would add $2-3 to development costs, and with say 60 original DS systems sold, thats something like 150 million dollars. Most people who own a DS, who want to play GB and GBC games own a GB or GBC. I think Nintendo realized GBA was enough, and I'm not mad at them for that. Heck they made a second port for GBA games (and DS accessories).

Anyway, I'm a big fan of BC, I hope all next gen consoles have it. I'm only a bit dissapointed in Wii U not being Gamecube BC, I mean how can you play smash bros without the GCN controller?

I wonder how trophies/achievements would work though, will they accumulate with current achievements or will they be separate?

Yeah that sounds about right.

And not only is the Wii U not backwards, but the new Wii announced at Gamescom isn't compatible with Gamecube games. Considering the Gamecube is the strongest library Nintendo has this decade, I think that was a pretty poor decision. Luckily I can buy an old Wii off eBay so I can play both Gamecube and Wii games I have missed over the years.

Still, something tells me Nintendo won't use any kind of rewards system.

Let me just say something though, the only missing backwards compatibility in a SONY console is no PS2 games on the PS3, PS1 games work on both the PS2 and the PS3, PSP digital games work on the PS Vita. So if you want to play Chrono Cross or any PSP games on the PS Vita, you can :P

To the bold: Are you saying I can copy my version of Chrono Cross onto my PS3, and then transfer it to a PSV? Or do I have to buy a digital copy?

Also the new Wii, it's not the only Wii. They are still selling the old BC Wii. Just don't get the "Family Pack" Wii. Mario Kart Bundle is still BC.
