@bold. Closer than others may predictions but not at the same time that just doesn't make sense. The U came out in 2012 its successor will release at least a year after the handheld's successor.

@next posts. U compatibility won't be by software emulation, it will be via ports as Vena hinted. It's most logical given what Nintendo mentioned about having the same game across different platforms via API (not emulation) and given raw power required for emulation.


It makes sense because they will be essentially be the same platform, like an iPad and an iPhone.

I think that the latest iPan can realistically emulate the latest iPhone, but not the other way around. I think it's the same thing for Nintendo handhelds versus home consoles.

Also, it doesn't match with Nintendo's own statements, that the unification of software will be done via a common API and OS. I can fetch the quote if you need it.

 


Huh? I was talking about your response to me about the handheld and console releasing at the same time. As far as the API and OS thing, I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.
