Thing is I don't think NX will be BC mainly due to how it required its own version of BOTW, if it does have BC it may be through emulation of some sort as having the hardware in the platform bumps costs up and Iwata noted that NX's ecosystem used Wii U as a base. Under what Ruby is claiming in order to bring out the platform they're bringing they've had to make compromises like having a smaller storage (although it'll very likely support external storage like the Wii U and it obviously won't have mandatory installs), all of this is to minimize costs and price.

I don't think hardware BC should be a priority either and I agree that the more economical approach would be to slowly port each Wii U exclusive over and integrate them into Nintendo's virtual library. It shouldn't be as intimidating as it sounds considering that they only have around 20 games on the Wii U that are worth putting on there and most of them aren't exactly large-scale games.

That's kind of how I see it as well provided the claim is true, it's a nice feature to have but I can see it being dropped if it requires extra hardware.
