While backward compatibility is easy to dismiss towards the end of a system's lifespan, it can be an essential piece of the puzzle when a system is young. Looking back, we owe some of my fondest gaming experiences to backward compatibility.
Here's how to get a new fan made PC port of Nintendo classic Link's Awakening running on Valve's Steam Deck.
Ghost Trick is by far one of Capcom’s most unique and clever games, and it's now finally widely available after spending nearly a decade and a half as a portable exclusive.
I think I'm going to have to dust off the ole Switch to try this game. One of those games that everyone seems to like and isn't the normal game I tend to stay away from on Nintendo.
"Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is a perfect resurrection of a mystery-puzzler that knows when to play the fool and when to play on the feels."
- Stuart Cullen, TechStomper
Good stuff.
Resident Evil 2 on the Ps Vita works like a charm.
Am I the only one that thought combat on Twilight Princess Wii was better than Skyward sword?
totally agree on the link's awaking. It's one of my favorite games.
ive always looked at backwards compatiblity more as an insurance. you know that you will be able to play all the games you invested in on the system on a future system even if your current system breaks down.
