Inverse sat down with Doug Bowser to talk about the release of 'Super Mario Bros. Wonder,' the future of the Nintendo Switch, and the state of the industry.
The two lines you mention do cut off at some points, though. The DS no longer had backwards compatibility with the GB and GBC, the DSi with the GBA, although the 3DS re-added GB and GBC, just digitally. The Wii U also doesn’t support GCN discs. All of these, however, work pretty well with homebrew like mGBA and Nintendont, they’re just not available officially.
Yea, but all the consoles I listed at launch had nearly full BC with the previous gen. DSi wasn’t compatible with Rock Band for DS, or fully compatible with the DS pokemon games that used the GBA slot for pal park, but beyond that, they’ve been pretty good for not starting any generation without a clean slate up to Switch.
Yeah, I agree with that. I was just trying to point out how Nintendo’s BC has never been as complete as it could be, for whatever reason it may be, but yeah, they’ve been pretty good at guaranteeing last-gen compatibility so far. Let’s see how it goes with whatever will succeed the Switch.
