oh shit ended. you dont even need a computer engineering degree, its basic logic.I have a degree in computer engineering. I know a thing or two about how this stuff works.
What are you on? As long as i believe nintendo can do anything! *sobs* dont ruin my dreams man!... Look. I want you, right now, to pull out your phone and try to run Cemu on it. COMPLETELY disregarding the power differential between a computer and your phone, it can't run it because it's x86 code emulating PPC code that's not meant to run on an ARM processor. Now bring that power differential back in and you'll find that even if you could run it, it would go at 5fps, if that. THAT'S what we're looking at here
Evidence? Its just stupid for them to release a portable unless its massively cheaper, kind of like an entry level switch. ($120-145)NIN already said they aint gonna stop the ds line soon, so most likely the next NIN HANDHELD (real handheld, not hybrid), will be a ds series. the switch is going to replace the wii u , even if NIN guys says otherwise.
So hard backward compatible is likely to be on the next ds ( for GB*, *DS ), but the switch is not going to be hard b/c with the gcn family( GCN,WII, WIIU). they would need to make a rom wrapper to emulate the old games to like the non-ds VC games for the DS series, and all VC games for the WIIU. you would need to have a dolphin level emu for any gcn based b/c.
there were a lot of game news sites earlier this week about NIN not stopping the 3ds anytime now like http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-10-29-nintendo-isnt-replacing-3ds-with-switchEvidence?

And we all know the DS was just a third pillar and never replaced the GBA.there were a lot of game news sites earlier this week about NIN not stopping the 3ds anytime now like http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-10-29-nintendo-isnt-replacing-3ds-with-switch
moreover the switch is not going to be their main handheld, it will be their main home console, even with the hybrid gimmick. also most NIN home console were fundamentally different from the last, with new features that changed gameplay, but all handheld have the same bases, from the GB to the 3DS(even if the DS added a second screen, gameplay was more or less the same). when trends are good, keep it that way.
Sure you can ducttape a 3ds to an NS and play games there (as those peripherals were basically complete consoles that you plugged in to the other one)Actually the SNES, N64 and GameCube all had backwards compatible peripherals, even though it was just for Gameboy games.
Not exactly. The Gameboy series isn't exactly what I'd call a predecessor to the home consoles. Also, as far as I am aware, the N64 didn't actually have any such peripheral. The closest I can think of is the Transfer Pak that allowed it to read data off of a gameboy cartridge so it could use your pokemon data in Pokemon Stadium. Now you could play said game in Pokemon Stadium, but I understand that to be through an emulator built into Pokemon Stadium.Actually the SNES, N64 and GameCube all had backwards compatible peripherals, even though it was just for Gameboy games.
well that is almost true, most people still held on to the gba even long after the ds was released( at least in my country)And we all know the DS was just a third pillar and never replaced the GBA.
Oh, wait...
Indeed, but as all said consoles came out after the GB and the original post is talking about cross platform backwards compatibility, I would say that the peripherals are what made them backwards compatible. As far as the N64 is concerned, even though it was not an official licensed product, it does have a BC cartridge for NES and SNES.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tristar_64Not exactly.

They don't sell them seperate here either. Its an issue with using two via the WiFi, the intention was to correct it with an update, but they were never pulled it off successfully. More than one works fine on a dev kit, hardwired however...It would be cool but because the hardware's different Nintendo won't be able to offer native BC, they will however have VC 3DS and VC Wii U so you'll be able to buy them again if you want.
I'm fine with it. I keep my Nintendo consoles.
EDIT
Nintendo doesn't even sell the Wii U GamePads separately (maybe in US bot not Europe). If you want one, either buy off the eBay marketplace or buy a Wii U console bundle.
I'm planning on buying the Wind Waker HD Premium Wii U Bundle if retailers decide to sell for a reasonable price (somewhere around £99-150).
I assumed they had lost interest in doing so when people weren't buying the console. Why sell an expensive peripheral for a console that's already not selling?They don't sell them seperate here either.

They've never done anything to force it, they just make it possible to do it should you decide toNIN have been known to release many peripherals that promote inter-platform gameplay, forcing you to buy both consoles to enjoy the game, or old controller support to make you upgrade and experience old play style with new games.
