Re: Soapbox: Endless Zelda Remakes Are A Poor Substitute For Backwards Compatibility

@Kirgo I perfectly get your point. I was just saying that having to buy it again digitally is not what I call Backward compatibility, if you have to double dip on something you already bought in the past.

The first PS3 was the perfect exemple of excellente backward compatibility, I remember using not only my PS2 discs, but also my PS1 discs, therefore when the console came out, I already could play dozen of games on it

Having a DVD player for the Switch would be a bit dumb also, it would only work on docked Switch and make little sense for a portable device.

This article is biased IMO, but I get other's point of view also.

@Kirgo Of course I get that, but emulators are extremely perfomants nowadays, having a PS2 native emulator on the PS5 would be extremely easy, for a matter of fact, the european PS3 used software emulation for PS2 support (the first PS3 model), and it ran like a charm, even back then. So not supporting PS2 DVD on the PS5 is a choice of Sony, they'd rather sell them again.
I was just saying how stupid this article is, having WiiU backward compatibility on Switch is not an option at all, you'd need a DVD player, it's just stupid
