[@HUYI1]

back then nintendo seemed dedicated to make everything work on all their portable hardware, now not so much.

[@SRHS4EVER]

But with the Switch, not so much anymore. Although you could play Wii U games ported to the Switch!

[@wile123456]

Blue Wyvern the xbox one is the only one who is having proper backwards compatibility. Original Xbox games will soon work on it. However at launch no old games worked, ps4 still has no support aside from digital PS1 games (also abomination that is PS now and a few digital ps2 games) switch has virtual console but as far as I know, that doesn't include GameCube, wii or wiiu. Companies today would much rather want to see their game twice with a resolution bump

Not a single mention of any Mega Man games, though. Also inferior MMZ1 music is inferior. Could've kicked in Departure or Esperanto. Or even Enemy Hall if they really wanted to use something from the first game. Just sayin'.

[@landoninthehood8849]

It still baffles me to this day why we can get GBA VC on the Wii U, but not the 3DS

[@RobertSeeJen]

Landon Hood from what I understand, if you purchased the 3DS before the price drop Nintendo released some games from the GBA exclusively for these systems on the eshop. I believe the program was called, "The Nintendo Ambassador Program." Definitely a cool little thing. It's still infuriating though that there haven't been any released for those bought afterwards.

[@octaviocuautle8181]

Landon Hood when tf is switch getting vc????

[@AndresLionheart]

Yup, I replayed Metroid Fusion on my 3DS ;)

[@kevboard]

Landon Hood the 3DS is not powerful enough to emulate GBA. and VC games have to have the VC overlay, therefore have to be emulated. the embassador games are not emulated, they run in DS mode and the DS hardware can run GBA games. in DS mode it can't have the VC overlay, therefore Nintendo doesn't release GBA VC games

[@KyogresHideout_Vegito2121]

[@TheZeroSbr]

No, stuff like Nintendo planning for the GBA SP to have 3D isn't common knowledge. The GB Player was a well-known add-on. You don't make a channel called "DidYouKnowGaming?" and tell everyone about stuff they already know.
