me thinks it is time to drop backwards compatibility.

Why would you prefer a console with less options? Backwards compatibility instantly opens a whole library  to a console, it's like having two machines in one.


What library? It is so thin on the Wii U it is not worth the effort. People can just keep their Wii Us.

NSMB U
NSL U
Nintendo Land
Super Mario 3D World
Pikmin 3
ZombiU
Lego City Undercover
The Wonderful 101
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze
Captain Toad
Bayonetta 2
Hyrule Warriors
SSB U
Yoshi U
Kirby U
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Fire Emblem U
Star Fox U
Zelda U
Mario Maker
Wii Fit U
SMT x Fire Emblem
Devil's Third

And those are just the ones we know about, the console has only been out for 2 years and 2 months so far.


Yes a very small library that isn't worth the effort of getting the gamepad to work and adding extra cost fo the backwards compadibility. If people don't want the gamepad now what makes you think they will buy it as an addon to play old games on a new system? Sure there is will be a small core of gamers that had a Wii U but to them I say keep your Wii U you.

Next console should focus on the core gamer not just the Nintendo gamer and supporting 3rd party devs.
