Backward Compatibility in Next-Gen Consoles?

Posted by simoniker on from the speculate-away dept.

jvm writes "A new article at Curmudgeon Gamer speculates on the prospects for backward compatibility in the upcoming generation of video game consoles. Sony's PlayStation 3 will reportedly play both PSOne and PlayStation 2 games, but how it will achieve this is unknown. Building from the facts we know and the rumored specifications, can we look forward to replaying Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on the GameCube 2 and Halo on the Xbox 2?"

  1. Who cares about Wind Waker... by Praedon · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Who cares about that, when there are so many other games like the REAL Legend of Zelda for NES... Or how bout Super Mario Bros seen on Snes... Get backwards compatibility for that and I will buy Gamecube 2!!! They are forgetting the very reason why they are still in business...
