Yesterday, I wrote an article covering all the Nintendo Switch 2 leaks from CES and online, and now Nintendo has finally released a statement addressing them. Nintendo responded to the Japanese pub…
Every handheld console except for the DS and Switch was a copypaste + upgrade from the last one. GB Pocket, GB Color, GB Advance, GBA SP, GBA Micro, DS Lite, 3DS, 2DS, New 3DS, 3DS XL
You can be backwards compatible without just being a hardware revision. Look at the Wii, while it’s definitely built on the GameCube, it has many more features
I’m sorry but it is quite literally a GBA with an additional touchscreen and an ARM9 processor
You’re dismissing that way too easily. A dual screen handheld was pretty game changing and not to mention touchscreen was not a standard back then.
Fair enough, I have one and it is really ahead of the time
“The new console unfortunately is not backwards-compatible.” -> riots
…versus…
“The new console is backwards-compatible because it’s an upgraded version of the old console.” -> riots

SNES was top loading with receding flaps. NES was front loading with a flap cover.
Must I point out all of the changes, or can you do some critical thinking before you argue?
The Japanese version of the NES was a toploader, and the NES itself had a toploader version later on as well.
Also, what’s with the personal attack?
Japan never got a front-loader with bonus connection problems and extra empty space in the carts.
