Nintendo NX: 10 Awesome Reveals That Could Win The Console War

10. Backwards Compatibility With All Wii & Wii U Games

One of the big selling points for just about any games system is backwards compatibility with prior consoles, though this has mutated recently to mean something completely different.

The Xbox One requires players to insert their legacy disc in order to download a digital version of the game for their console (assuming it's in the currently small library of compatible titles), while the PS4 has PlayStation Now, a cloud streaming service that requires a subscription fee.

Neither feature is as ideal or simple as putting in your old disc and playing it straight away, and the ability to play Wii and Wii U games out of the box would be a major selling point for the NX. Imagine if it could even go so far as to (somehow) play GameCube discs too.

How Likely Is It?: Given that the Wii U is fully backwards compatible with the Wii, this actually seems pretty damn likely...unless the rumour about the NX using cartridges actually turns out to be true. 8/10
