    “The new console is backwards-compatible because it’s an upgraded version of the old console.” -> riots

      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

    Every handheld console except for the DS

    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 is 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

    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?

      Japan never got a front-loader with bonus connection problems and extra empty space in the carts.

      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?

        Sorry, just frustrated to see the same assumption every generation, after ever generation sees massive change. In retrospect, it’s probably new people making the same assumption, not the same people.

  Except no one expected the Wii U successor to be the same. The Nintendo switch leaks came years before the release, when it was still known under the codename “NX”, and they were 100% accurate
