"In an interview with Famitsu, the head of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata has stated the N5 will have backwards compatibility.
"It will be able to use the games already created in the previous generation. And it is something that will work. Side performances and graphics, one reached today a kind of limit with a quality which is already close to realism and it will be difficult to still much better do. The role of Nintendo is thus to study other ways in order to improve the experience of the player." - Cube-Europe.
A great move by Nintendo in my opinion, people who sell their Cube's to raise the cash for the N5 will still be able to play their old games, and those new to Nintendo can play older games without having to buy a Cube as well.

i do, so does my brother, and a friend.
also, loads of people in my year play on the SNES in our 6th form common room, its very popular.
people who dont play the old consoles are denying themselves a lot of gaming pleasure, in my opinion.

Besides they could always just re-release many of the old classics onto a complilation CD like they did with the Zelda collectors CD for the GC... if they chose to go that route ofcourse.
That would cost Nintendo waay to much, and just wouldn't be worth it. How many still play NES games? Hardly any.
Also, it'll take money away from any further Super GB/GB Player devices they could sell separately.
And anyway, you forgot Virtual Boy.
And Pokémon Mini.

I say that someone start a petition where they put in a Snes, Nes, N64 and GBA (which also covers GBC and GB) slots in too.
The N64 especially. Four player games on Conker and Perfect Dark where the pads don't wear down and you don't get slowdown no matter how many simulants you use! :-)
Infact, if they were clever then they could build all this into one slot.
The most complex goes at the bottom and is covered by a lid.
When closed, this lid plugs into the slot and has a slot of it's own on top... a bit like the Super Game Boy if you remember...
When you put a game in, you choose which slot you want to open (all will have their own opening from the top, afterall, it would be a pain to have to open all the others to get to the bottom one) and put the game in.
This was probably a really bad explanation of what I meant (which could probably only be described by a drawing) but if you're familiar with the Super Gameboy then you'll know what I mean.

Aww! I just got a Game Cube. Can't the N5 just waith a widdle bit longer?
Indeed. But they've been smart in other areas. In actual fact, I can count on one hand the major slip-ups they've made.
In terms of listening to potential Nintendo customers, Nintendo have never been very smart - though they have started to improve since the GameCube's release.
