No, because I have a Wii U. So I don't care about backwards compatibility. It would be a good feature but not a necessity. I've rather have a Nintendo HD console that has the power and graphics that could play 3rd party games. 3rd party games that is pushing quality games that I like.

It better have BC!

I'd be heavily annoyed if Nintendo doesn't allow our Wii U games to be playable/downloadable on the next console. Splatoon came out this year and I would love to continue playing it if the next console releases next year.

Not really. I don't care for BC.

If they make me rebuy my VC games one more time... Nobody wanted another shitty social network Nintendo. Don't make pay for it. Those save points were pretty cool though. I never would have beat Punch-Out without them. They can stay.

He said nothing about storing games on the cards instead of the system, so it doesn't rule out anything. He said "While it would never happen, the consumer is afraid they’re going to lose the data and so it’s in a physical form because they feel more secure having the card" Note he started the sentence by pointing out how the fear is unfounded. Also, again, he never said anything about the saves being on the carts, because the saves are not on the carts to begin with. They're on the system, reguardless.

I never said there won't be SD cards for the NXDS. It practical for digital, too.

For buying games, yes. For playing them, no. It doesn't make console gaming a hassle at all. Most devices are connected as it is. Consoles are always connected anyway. Unless you seriously think that I meant that you'd have to tap the NFC game card to your system and connect to the internet everytime you wanted to play your game. Because that's stupid. You'd only need to touch it to your device once when you first download it. After that, it works just like a digital purchase, and the NFC game card becomes a worthless collectable. 

You know. Like CDs and carts are now.

CDs might not be worth much but vinyl records are still collectables.  So are any past generation video games (especially the good / rare ones).  Video games are collectables and will remain so in the future.  A video game code or NFC game card like you are suggesting will not of course.

I think it all depends on the nature of the NX console. If it's a conventional console, then yes, really I would mind. Backwards compatibility is one major plus point of Nintendo consoles right now.

It's always nice to just be able to insert last gen games without switching consoles. It's a lot less of a hassle.
I will always keep my systems but what if one of them breaks? It would suck to have to get another one.

It's just a nice option to have. Especially for people just coming into Nintendo. They can buy a Wii U and play all the Wii U games PLUS All the amazing Wii games. Same as 3DS.

It's pretty awesome.

It would actually bother me to some extent if it did not. While I don't REQUIRE BC to buy a system it makes me want to get the system sooner if it does have it.

This is why I was okay with getting a 3DS at launch even though there was a drought for a while and there was the lackluster launch, because I could just play my DS games I had until somethings I wanted came out for it. And this is one of the reasons I haven't gotten a PS4 yet. Though I do understand that BC was needed to be cut, it makes me wait longer to get the system until a sizable library is out for it.
