What a day for gamers in general and for Nintendo fans in particular. Dropping the last pieces of the puzzle at the launch of a new console is always exciting: date, price, exclusivities … The sheet that covered our heads with doubts about Wii U has finally been removed. Storm has to pay attention to the small details, and among them one stands out, the backward compatibility with everything you have stored on Wii .
Today has confirmed what was pointed out some time ago: we will be able to transfer our Virtual Console and Wiiware games from Wii to Wii U. That, together with the backward compatibility with Wii DVDs (yes, in their native resolution), will motivate more than one to make the leap between platforms. Come on, you can embrace new emotions without giving up the past.
Backward compatibility was a question at the beginning of this generation. Some companies (Sony, ahem, ahem) tried to make us believe it wasn’t important. Time has shown that it is the players who have to decide that. Thus, playing today many titles from past machines that we had already acquired at the time is the most normal (I think that PS Vita is now the brightest example). The companies get a bonus without additional expense with new users and those who already had those games enjoy them without spending a single euro. And everyone so happy, wow.
What am I doing here? Keep reading
What makes my Wii valuable, in addition to some of the most incredible and brilliant games of the last five years like ‘Super Mario Galaxy 2’ and ‘Xenoblade’, is having a good handful of memory and indelible memories on an SD card. form of classics from NES , Supernes, Megadrive, NEOGEO and N64. In short, and like Indiana Jones at the beginning of ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’, I will make a quick switch between my old Wii and the new Wii U. On the outside the difference will not be too appreciable, and the gold that is inside will be the same. I just hope it doesn’t happen to me like Indy and that change means the activation of some hidden trap.
I will not pay again These games are mine!
