Miyamoto talks backwards compatibility, new hardware

[Æon]

Shigeru Miyamoto tackled a question this week during Nintendo's financial results briefing this week regarding backwards compatibility. One investor asked about internal conversations Nintendo has had about this.

Miyamoto acknowledged that "software development environments have recently been gradually integrated", which means that the concept behind backwards compatibility is now easier to accomplish At the same time though, the focus for Nintendo – which is usually the case – is "to offer new and unique gameplay that cannot be realized on existing hardware."
