Fact: Yes, as confirmed by president Satoru Iwata at the 2005 Game Developers Conference. The Wii will be backwards-compatibile with GameCube software as well as peripherals including the Wave Bird controller, memory cards, Mario Party microphone, Dance Dance dance pad, and Donkey Konga konga controller. But there’s more to it. The console will also have downloadable access to 20 years of fan-favorite titles originally released for Nintendo 64, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis, TurboGrafx, and MSX. Rumors/Speculation: Nintendo is known for its backwards-compatibility with its portable systems. Although Nintendo has dabbled with the idea with its home consoles, it is not something that until now, has ever become reality.
