Also no BC then since how can you play wiiU games without an optical disc? (Other than Digital that is)

Maybe it's a reality check to people who think this is some "must have" feature. In the broad sense backwards compatibility with a failed console that maybe has 15 reeeeeeally must play games in its entire library is not a big priority. 

I say f*ck discs. I never really cared for them much and it's zero surprise that Nintendo would be the first to ditch them as they were the last to adopt them. 

Yea well I don't really care whether or not its optical disc or cartridges since they both do their job and flash media these days can technically have higher throughput than optical disc so its not a big deal for me
