The architecture absorbtion isn't confirmed, lmao? Okay. That quote came after it was clear to Nintendo that the Wii U failed. And genius, you don't need a disc drive for BC anymore! :O Thank God!

THat is what you call a virtual console.  BC means I am able to pull out a game I puchased and stick it into the new console to play. Surely NIntento is not going to give me all my WII U games in digital form for free lol.

Backwards compatible purely means it is able to run games from the previous generation. I don't recall there ever being a law set in place where by the original disc had to work? Either way though, to someone who doesn't own a Wii U, if the NX has the ability to play Wii U games, why on earth would they want to invest near enough a full brand new console's cost into a system that now has token support until it is succeeded?

I bought a Wii U day 1, don't regret it at all, if I was to pay the current price for the Wii U in the state it's currently in though, I'd be mighty pissed off in 12 months when it's obsolete.
