I'm not so sure. Nintendo consoles are usually BC, so maybe there will be no need to remaster the game. 


I have my doubts it will be, Nintendo must realise the benefits of being able to re-release you're games on a new system. Not to mention that it's pretty much impossible to keep the same system architecture(powerpc) for their new system.

That said even if it would be backwards compatible there will be people picking up the game if they missed it on Wii-U.

 

 

 

 

"Nintendo must realise the benefits of being able to re-release you're games on a new system."

So, none? Not making a console backwards compatible for the sole reason to cash in on making people rebuy a few games is imoral to say the least. Besides, they make more money with BC because the previous gen games will sell more, even if through e-shop and the audience will have more than half a dozen remasters available.

It doen't need the exact same architeture for BC, but nothing is stopping nintendo from keeping the power pc.

"That said even if it would be backwards compatible there will be people picking up the game if they missed it on Wii-U."

I think the e-shop already covers that. It's also perfect for those games with limited supply that quickly get rare.
