Nintendo press releases crack me up sometimes. So they announced a handheld 3D games machine, gave no further details, but don't worry, it will be backwards compatible with DSi and DS games.
That's like Ford announcing a flying car and saying nothing except it will be backwards compatible with existing Michelin tyres.
- hernan7 17y agoMy son has had his DS for about 2 years now, and our investment in games is far more than what the console originally costed. So, backwards compatibility is indeed an important consideration if we were to buy a new console.
- Groxx 17y agoAnd in Ford's heyday, it'd have been accepted just as readily. Nintendo's reliable about delivering what they claim. It will sell. Backwards compatibility is the most important part right now, because it keeps DSes and games selling. Imagine what their sales would do if they said it wasn't.
