It's extremely unlikely that the NX will have BC. Part of the reason for the odd architectural choices with the Wii U was for BC. They could have gotten something cheaper and more powerful from AMD. Even a first gen APU would have had more power than the Wii U chipset. |
I'm over 90% inclined to agree with this. It's doubtful the NX will have the raw processing power to run Wii U instruction sets in emulation and there isn't a huge incentive for Nintendo to spend too many resources for BC on a platform with such a low following.
It's a nice pipe dream though. I skipped the GC and ended up buying a bunch of old GC games when I bought a Wii. I've skipped the Wii U so far and would have picked up several Wii U games if they played on the NX.
