| superchunk said: IF it is true and the fusion system is like iOS/Android systems, then that means digital games on 3DS/WiiU/VC/etc will work on said system simply by logging in with your NNID. That means day one it already has a very large library. Personally, I think we'll see this, this gen with VC titles once the final part of the NNID system is upgraded. Maybe with this year's update. Then all they need is a couple 1st party launch titles (two studios at a min) as well as whatever 3rd parties can support for new multiplatform content. So I don't think their fusion concept will harm 3ds/wiiu support at this time. At least not like it did for ds/wii in 2009/2010. |
Backwards compatibility will probably be heavily contigent on the chipset. Like it's fine to want an iPhone/iPad setup, but that doesn't mean all Mac games work on iPhone/iPad ... completely different chipsets with different OS'. Though I think it would be very, very smart if they used an ARM core that could make it easy to port (up-port to HD?) the entire DS/3DS libraries. That would give the machine a lot of games to play from day 1.
Then they could also port over perhaps some of the more major Wii U games (Mario Kart 8, Smash, etc.) on a case by case basis too.
That wouldn't be bad.
