    No shit.

    Every 5 years, chodes expect each new Nintendo console to be a copy + paste of the previous one.

    It’s never happened.

        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

        “The new console unfortunately is not backwards-compatible.” -> riots

        …versus…

        “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

        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?
