It's a great idea to get people involved in your consoles or games. It's a great idea, and I'm sad Sony scrapped the idea.
However if there was an add on for the wii like a multi card reader nintendo would make a stack of money. Especially if compatible with virtual console.RoBi3.0 said:Can you imagine how retarded the Wii would look if it had cartridge slots for NES, SNES, and N64 games, as well as the disk drive and Gamecude controller ports. I suppose it would also need control ports for NES, SNES, and N64 controlers as well.deth2munkies said:As a person with a stack of NES games in his closet, I believe the more backwards compatibility you can get, the better.
That would be a stupid (in a bad way) amount of Backward compatibility.
I concur, as an "at an extra cost" add on BC would be awesome. See post 44 for more of my thoughts on this.tehannihalator said:However if there was an add on for the wii like a multi card reader nintendo would make a stack of money.

I'm not buying a game I already own for convenience. I'd rather just rely on emulators (so that's what I do).RoBi3.0 said:Well, i actually own a Wii, and would not have bought it if it had all that dumb shit attached to it, I am sure a lot of the casual gamers that currently own a Wii feel the same.deth2munkies said:Au contraire, it would be awesome and might actually get me to buy a Wii. Plus, you can play NES, SNES, and N64 games easily with a GC controller.RoBi3.0 said:Can you imagine how retarded the Wii would look if it had cartridge slots for NES, SNES, and N64 games, as well as the disk drive and Gamecude controller ports.

I am fine with the Virtual console for all my nostalgic needs.
I think that what most people want is an option to play games they loved as a kid, and not necessarily the exact game cartridge/disk they played as a kid.
I think the PS3 screwed themselves when they took the backward compatibility out, im lucky to own one of the PS3's that still have it, and to be honest, its the only reason i still have it, if they took that part away from me i would sell it in a heartbeat.tehannihalator said:How do you feel about the issue of bc? I for one believe that there should be more bc in console machines.For example if Sony uploaded a paid update to psn for the ps2 to be emulated would you buy it?
It's not hard to replace the HDD, and it doesn't void your warranty.smearyllama said:There's a version with backwards compatibility (20gig and a couple others) but it's a little more expensive, and a smaller HDD than other versions.Alien Mole said:In short, I was going to buy a PS3, then Sony dropped BC, then I didn't. So it's pretty important to me. I wouldn't buy one even if there were a paid upgrade; it's the principle of the damn thing.
That right there is the reason I did not "upgrade" to the DSi. I love my GBA titles too much and I seriously do not want to own 2 handhelds just to play all my games. I can live without the GBC games, because Shantae was the only one I was still interested in, and at this point, most original game boy games are just plain hard to look at unless they are being emulated on a computer.Delusibeta said:Nintendo's handhelds are the undisputed kings of backwards compatibility. For example, the DS was the first handheld to not support original style Game Boy carts. That said, backwards compatibility was binned wholesale in the DSi. The 3DS has confirmed it will work with standard DS carts, so hopefully the backwards compatibility train will roll onwards once more.
When did this happen? It's been a while since I popped in one of my old games. That would be so disappointing to find that I can't play KOTOR or JSRF when I wanted to.xmbts said:I keep my old consoles around, just in case a console with backwards compatibility decides to scrap it and make you pay to download old games that you already own, despite it being able to play these games a few months ago.
I'm looking at you Microsoft.
I'm pretty sure it was the Kinect update that took it off. I tried several games that I know for a fact used to work (still have the save files) but they couldn't be read.Allison Chainz said:When did this happen?
