I don't know whether I am the only one. But somehow I want the next Nintendo console to fail. I don't know whether it's nostalgia, but I really like the Wii U. Nintendo was trying their damnest to make the system sell well and after the Switch came out. They didn't bother fixing any vulnerabilities, making it very homebrew friendly. Also they got stupid Nintendo fans like me to throw money at them and keep them financially afloat.

And no, I'm not trolling here. This is serious.

Sounds like backwards compatibility is a lock—not that it’s a huge hurdle for today’s machines—since most of the account features involve software and save data. The retro game archives will probably make the jump too, since keeping them locked behind a paid membership is probably more lucrative than the Virtual Console ever was.

Anyone who has ever transferred their account to a new Switch knows how easy it is, for the most part. The biggest chore is redownloading software data, so maybe Nintendo will allow full game data to transfer over via SD card this time.
