PM ME TO SWAP STARS
This thread I guess is just to say congratulations to Nintendo for making a fully backwards compatible seventh generation console. Unlike the XB360 (which has only 295 compatible titles, and many run with lower framerates and/or gameplay/sound glitches) and the PS3 (which has to provide constant firmware updates to tackle backwards compatibility issues on some of the PS2's biggest selling titles such as Pro Evolution Soccer 6 and Grand Turismo 4), Nintendo have managed the whole thing perfectly right from day one.
I work at Blockbuster (yes - I'm living the dream!) and I've noticed a large increase in GameCube game sales since the Wii came out, which must be partly down to the flawless backwards compatibility of the Wii. With the Virtual Console taking off more and more, the Wii could be seen as eight consoles in one. The ability to also play NES, SNES, N64, Mega Drive, TurboGrafx-16, MSX, and Neo Geo games on one console is astounding...
So well done Nintendo I guess is the main theme of this post :yesnod:
