What Xbox Games Will Be Backwards Compatible?
alvinrod writes "IGN has whipped up a nice article about how and which Xbox games will be compatible with the Xbox 360. The article explains that Microsoft is using emulation to play old Xbox games rather than including the chipset from the original Xbox. From the article: 'Xbox 360 compatible games are going to be decided on a case-by-case basis. Microsoft's engineer's are, right now, figuring out which games are compatible, and which are less than compatible. Thus, at the 360 launch, only a few games, let's speculate that number is somewhere between five and 20, will be backward compatible.'"
if Microsoft isn't VERY diplomatic about the gamer's experience, they might become downright angry, and lots of windows are going to get broken.
Don't worry about it too much. Microsoft's Windows is already broken enough as it is.
"I've been sitting here at my friend's house in front of his Gamecube for about 2 years now while Nintendo attempts to release a single game that isn't a sequel to something I played 20 years ago"
Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion, Eternal Darkness, Donky Konga, and Animal Crossing completely kicked ass on the NES. I can't wait until they finaly release the remake of Geist and Odama.
