I have a degree in computer engineering. I know a thing or two about how this stuff works.
....aaaaaand? You dont have a full blueprint of nintendos hard or software so you cant say you know exactly what theyre gonna do.

Lack of a second screen is the number one reason, LOL.GBA games were still being made during the first 2-3 years of the DS and they were even BC, so why can't digital eShop versions of 3DS and possibly Wii U games be the same?
They could sell one as an attachment. Or an attachment for your phone/tablet to be the second screen.Lack of a second screen is the number one reason, LOL.
IMO BC should come standard with all versions of the console. If they charge more just for bc I'm not gonna be a happy camper lolHere's a question: how much extra would you guys be willing to pay for backwards compatibility?
It's just a theoretical question.IMO BC should come standard with all versions of the console. If they charge more just for bc I'm not gonna be a happy camper lol
Backwards compatibility requires extra hardware. A console without BC can be sold cheaper than a backwards compatible one. How much extra would you be willing to pay for backwards compatibility?IMO BC should come standard with all versions of the console.

Nada, zip zilch. Like I said, IMO it should play WiiU games. Obviously it will be no easy task due to the architecture being different. If I have to wait a while for them to figure things out (like the BC on xbone), I'm totally fine with that. I just don't think we should have to pay extra for a feature, that's been fairly standard for a while now.Backwards compatibility requires extra hardware.

That's not what I'm asking. Backwards compatibility would make the console more expensive. It's been a "standard feature" for a while but those consoles would have been cheaper without it. Like you said, the PS3 had a whole other console crammed inside it, don't think that didn't increase the retail price. You are paying for backwards compatibility.Nada, zip zilch.

Oh okay, I see your point now. I thought u meant if Nintendo realize a version with BC (for more) and one without (for less). Idk its hard to say, is the price even announced yet hw?That's not what I'm asking. Backwards compatibility would make the console more expensive.

If they somehow came out with a Switch 3DS variation or some weird, yet seamless 3DS attachment, I would pay around $60 extra.Here's a question: how much extra would you guys be willing to pay for backwards compatibility?
EDIT: To clarify, backwards compatibility requires extra hardware and costs money to implement. All other things being equal, a console with backwards compatibility will cost more. My question is, if the Switch costs a certain amount $X, how much more would you be willing to pay to have backwards compatibility?
I honestly don't want BC besides VC games, it's BC that's been holding them back with the PPC chips they use.
How is PowerPC "vulnerable"?My guess as to why ppc was abandoned ages ago (in computers) is BC from a security standpoint, they're very vulnerable
First of all mf dont disrespect me youre 1 year older than me so grow the fuck up. My point is if you aint working on the switch's interal circuitry then you cant say what it can or cant do until its released so just because you have a "degree" dont mean shit lol you can still be wrong bruhLook, kid, computers aren't magic boxes that just make things work because you will them to.

Why do you feel that only those who are directly working with the "internal circuitry" are the only qualified ones to know? Why can we not work from what Nvidia has told us and what we know of their tech, combined with our extensive knowledge of how current/old nintendo tech work?First of all mf dont disrespect me youre 1 year older than me so grow the fuck up.
