Pretty sure Nintendo had console BC and handheld BC waaaay before Sony

figured as much.

That should mean that, unless they have it all figured out through emulation, the next hardware will still be using nvidia.

Playstation 2 had backwards compatibility in 2001. Wii was the first Nintendo console with it, the same generation but many years late.

SNES had BC and could play all the GB and GBC games via super Gameboy in 1994.

OK, so the SNES was not backwards compatible. You had to buy a Gameboy on a cartridge. Also Gameboy isn't a console.

I wonder if they will charge people to transfer games again

I remember i played some gameboy stuff on snes with that said adapter, I'm not sure what actually ran the games though? Not sure if you can call that BC

It's BC through an add on.  As you are playing an older system's games on your new console.

You were charged to upgrade the game. 

 

You could play your entire collection for free without an upgrade.

Fuck outta here with that shit We're talking fucking snes roms ffs, you paid or you had to boot your console into Wii mode to play the games and dig out the controllers. It was intentionally done to make it awkward for people unpess they paid.

 

You know what go choke on a dick I have no interest in listening to a shill defend anti-consumer behaviour from a multi-billion dollar corporation, there's enough of that with thr ABK merger at the moment.

You had the option to play it for free.... Not my fault reality doesn't fit your narrative

That they charged people to transfer games instead whereas Sony/MS transfer them for free? Yeah that still holds true

No you weren't charged to transfer games. 

 

You had an option to upgrade to the Wiiu version of the game for one dollar. 

 

I played my full Wii library on Wiiu without paying a cent..... I know you hate it when reality doesn't line up with your narrative
