I *love* the fact that Nintendo still incorporates a heavy emphasis on Backwards Compatibility. With the Wii U, the Wii, The 3DS, DS and GBA.
I don’t want Nintendo out of the hardware business. I lost a lot of respect for Sony with their removal of all backwards compatibility on the PS4. In the age of digital…

Oh hey, now Sony can do remasters in 4k of Ps4 remasters of PS3 remasters of PS2 remastered games!

This no backwards compatibility thing is working extra very well for them. :)
