A welcome move but Nintendo are running rings around them on this, it should have happened day one
and 100 games is only a portion of the 360 library.
Surely if XBone had a better library we would care less about this?


Except there is a HUGE difference in running games at 480p, and upscaling  and enhancing frame rate.  WiiU just runs a Wii game, which is limited to 480p, in the exact same way a Wii does it.  The Xbox 360 was already HD, and on the Xbox One they said some games will run at a higher frame rate.

So no, not the same thing at all.  I would have perhapse bought a WiiU if it even just upscaled its games, but they didn't even bother doing that.

I didn't know the Wii had HDMI out? The games do look better than through component out, at least on my tv. Plus you can also play them on the gamepad, only as a screen though.

BC compatibility is nice but I didn't use it anymore after less than a year of ps3 and WiiU. (And that was really just FF12 and God of war 2, new games not available on ps3, and Wii fit plus on the WiiU to use the gamepad instead of the tv) It will be useful when my kids want to play an old 360 game, if that one is supported at least.
