You shouldn't be excited at the announcement of Backwards Compatibility because it should have been there from the start.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

"From the makers of Metroid Prime?"

3 fucking developers formed Armature, one of them an artist, one a programmer. The other 80 or so developers at Retro are either still at Retro or NOT working on this game. LOL

Well, at least it adds value to those of us who didn't have a 360.  Or we could buy a 500Gig one for a measily €150 and not get a One.

"Put the disc in, download the game"

So you put your disc in to tell the system you own it, then download a digital version from the eshop? Install it and go?

I am no more for HDMI all ports taken, this takes care of it if I ever want a Xbox1. So it's good.

He than said that it was up the the developers of the game to approve of it being a Backwards Compatibility title.

The other guy said that an "initial batch of compatible titles" would be up to try. Hence there will be uncompatible titles and it wont be for every game. They also said you have to download the game, even if you own the disc. So you are not just installing from your disc, you are downloading a compatible version from MS.

Backwards compatible means less clutter and easier access to games. New controller looks awesome,I'll get one.
