I really hope you are joking with this right?

Well considering that only 2 of their 7! home consoles have BC I'd say that is the case. I think with handhelds it's 2/5.

Doesn't sound to me like a company that necessarily embraces BC.

Handhelds:
  Game boy Colour - Played Game Boy games
  GBA - Played Game Boy and Game Boy colour games
  DS and DS lite - Played GBA games
  3DS - Played DS games and DSi software

N3DS - Played 3DS games and N3DS exclusive games
DSi - Played DS games and DSi software

Some of the consoles could be used to play handheld games via adaptors (Gamecube and Super Nintendo).
