I hope NX is not backward compatible. We have the VC for that. I want to buy a device that uses all of its components to play new games.

Why wouldn't you want that funtction? I mean, if the NX were able to play WiiU games through virtual console, why not also being able to read the discs (or the cartridges, if it is a discless system)?

Because it will need some space in the console that could be used to boost power of the console. Also, Nintendo will be confident on tha backlog rather than developing new games faster.

But the NX will need that backlog. If they had problems developing at a decent speed for the WiiU, imagine how developing for a stronger system and making it compatible for a hybrid system. We'll see a NX backwards compatible phisical or digital, or at the very least a  WiiU Virtual Console, with all the WiiU games avalible from the start.

They had problems with Wii U because that was their fist HD console, they were first time making games in HD after few generations of making games in SD. Whole this unifying plan is because of speed of developing and supporting two totally different platforms, 3DS and Wii U showed that they efectly support two completely different platforms, but with unifying platform they can make one game in same time for two consoles, in that way they will have much effective support.

Saying that, NX will have Wii U BC suport or Nintendo will simply port most of Wii U games for NX.
