if I remember correctly they have resolution upscaling to do for the SNES games and controller configuration on how the gamepad would work on a certain game. so maybe that is the reason why SNES Wii VC didn't came to SNES Wii U VC asap?! about the NX system, we don't know if it would be backwards compatible so let us not assume things here. |
Well no we don't know if it is backwards compatible. Which is why I strongly believe everything would need to be rereleased because of this and because we will likely get a new eShop that is greatly improved and compatible with all platforms and devices. It may even go by a new name for a stronger brand as eShop unfortunately does not have the best reputation. This does not mean all platforms and devices can run the downloaded games. It simply means that the platforms and devices can access the new eShop and send games to their consoles to download if they aren't home. Sony is currently doing this.
As for the NX not having backwards compatibility. To be honestly I am very confident it wont UNLESS it has the Wii U's innards in addition to the new chipset. I believe Iwata confirmed that the NX is using an all new architecture. Unless he was referring to the OS (which I also think will get an overhaul), I think that rules out backwards compatibility. It actually kind of leans towards that maybe Nintendo will have some power under it's hood for it's time. Be a little more classic Nintendo and also remain relevant to third parties and people who only care about that stuff. After all I think Nintendo would get the hint with the Wii U not being the hit they had hoped for. We may see Nintendo transform the company image once again.
PS I freaking love my Wii U so don't get the wrong idea.
