Just want to point out that this review score is the lowest critic review on metacritic. Also the author has only done 1 other review for Toem on nintendolife. With reviews it is subjective and it is important to know if the author likes the same types and aspects of games that you do.
@Doktor-Mandrake It's not an unusual concept for nintendo, Gameboy playable on the GBA, gba playable on ds, ds playable on 3ds. Gamecube playable on wii, wii playable on wii u. However what backwards compatibilty has playstation had? PSX on ps2, then barely supported on ps3 right at launch then nothing until playstation 5. I would say nintendo has a relatively decent track record with backwards compatibility and it seems like they only don't support it when a change in technology precludes it, the change to optical discs for game cube and the change back to cartridges for the switch.
@belmont Maybe you're right. I was working in a game shop when the ps2 slim was out and we seemed to have quite a few people swapping over to one. I know I myself got a slim ps2 after previously owning an original ps2. I just figured that the uptake must be worth it for both Sony and Microsoft to keep releasing so many different limited editions of this gen and last. However this is all anecdotal and I haven't researched any numbers so you may be right.
People who complain about the amount of storage for the price need to also remember it isn't just the cost of the space that is taken into account but the maintenance as well. With large databases like this, lets face it as it's pokemon it will be huge, the sheer amount of items in it will require a lot of work to keep it up and running in good order so people don't lose their 'mon. Now less than £5 a year seems perfectly reasonable to me to do this so I can carry my pokemon throughout all the future poke games.
@lan @Rapadash6 Couldn't agree more. Have all consoles this gen but now i'm just going to be solely Wii U for console. I have just grabbed a nice gaming pc (i5 3570k, ATI 7950) for Cross platform gaming when I want the best graphics, and a Wii U for the unique games and experiences, let alone the great fun with local multiplayer, something I've really missed since the focus went on gaming with annoying people half a world away that you will never see.
glad to see plenty of sensible people here who have at least a basic understanding about processors and gaming. I'm just getting so fed up with all the hatred towards nintendo from other gaming sites, just waiting for the next piece of news to stick the boot in whether it's warranted or not. But at least I've found this site because of that
Looking at my games library for all 3 consoles, I have about the same number of games for my Wii as both the ps3 and 360 combined. Also I'm on my 5th 360 and still 1st Wii. I think good games and Reliability are more important than a single stat about a cpu that tells us nothing and was found by a Hacker.

@belmont I think you may be underestimating how many people bought 2 PS2's considering the popularity of the Slim model.
