"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.

Your NES still works? Well, I suppose it's possible, since my Commodore 64 still works, just about.

my NES works absolutely perfectly. it is without doubt the most robust and well built piece of hardware i own. it works better than my SNES, and maybe even my N64.

The whole point is that they've got no power...

That's where the purity of their game design comes from.

Duh! ;-P
