The Switch doesn't have backwards compatibility, which is just one of the myriad reasons it's going to fail miserably.
In February they said that they didn't make backwards compatibility available because they might port more games to the Switch, which translates to, "We won't spend any big money developing new games, but fanboys will fawn over how many 'new' titles the Switch is getting and will buy the game they've finished a million goddamn times again, so that we make more money off people who pay for the name Nintendo rather than actually use their tiny little brains to determine if they're getting their money's worth."
If it's quite as powerful as everyone is saying, it ought to emulate games up to at least the Wii perfectly, maybe even the Wii U, because in Nintendo's hands it has resources and tricks that people who make unofficial emulators simply don't (unofficial emulators rely on brute power). Similar to how the PSP could perfectly play any PS1 game, despite being far less powerful - eight or so time - than even the PS2 because Sony officially included emulation.The only reason nintendos past consoles have had backwards compatibility was because the arcitechture and hardware was being used over and over with upgrades each time allowing them to run the games from previous systems without emulation. If nintendo wants actual third party support they need a system that isn't using Game Boy or GameCube hardware.
Thing is. The different the arcitechture and weaker the CPU, the slower it emulates. That's why it needs ports. What Sony did was a completely different scenario. The PSP was using PS1 arcitechture since it was made several years afterIf it's quite as powerful as everyone is saying, it ought to emulate games up to at least the Wii perfectly, maybe even the Wii U, because in Nintendo's hands it has resources and tricks that people who make unofficial emulators simply don't (unofficial emulators rely on brute power).

So apparently, you think it will not be able to be backwards compatible as in not be able to play older games from previous consoles, such as Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U, which you really liked, as you don't think so because it has not been stated yet, and because the Switch is a new console such as the Wii U in 2013 which had games such as Mario Kart 8, because the Switch is a brand new console (apparently)?I think we won´t be able to do such a thing as they claerly stated that the switch is going to be a new console, that has nothing to do with the previous systems. to me, it would be fantastic to do that, since I owm some games on the wii u that are going to be released on the switch, such as mario kart 8. Regarding the Cv, there are no plans yet (apparently) to have one.
