Can someone please explain to me why we are just now getting N64 games on the VC? First of all, it was there on the original Wii correct? the console is also backwards compatible, so why isn't the E-shop unified on the back end? I know you could switch to Wii mode and access them that way right? Ugh this is all really dreadful because all these games are going to need to be re-released ONE MORE TIME when the NX comes out and the back end of the new e-shop is unified with all platforms and devices. I really hope Nintendo gets the online experience right this time. Don't get me wrong, I do love my fair share of Miiverse and the online experience of Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart 8. Voice chat would be nice as well, the majority of Nintendo fans aren't kids.... Every 12-16 year old kid I know say Xbox is the cool shit and want the next CoD!

I understand they want to protect their audience from harassment and course language but actions speak louder than words. I've seen my fair share of cockmobile in Mario Kart DS.

 

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.

i didn't have the wrong impression of you as nintendo gamer and I know, people who bought the Wii U already justified the purchase due to the games they wanted to play with the console especially most games can only be played in a Wii U.

you already mentioned about the DENA to unify the system accounts which was recently announced, i still hope that there would be games that can be played across different system. the smaller games from phones, tablets can be also downloaded and played in your 3Ds, Wii U and/or NX. but not a Wii U game, 3Ds game on a mobile phone or a tablet.
