Microsoft dropping Backwards Compatibility?

"We under promised and over delivered on that."

Yeah, who wants to play the likes of Jet Set Radio Future when Barbie's Adventure in Horse Entrails is fully compatible.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh wai- looks like this news is already crushed.

Lots of talk about backwards compatibility online today. We wanted to get to the bottom of it all, so we went right to the team working on the next back compat update. We hear directly from them that they're in the testing phase of another update, and it should be out in the next few weeks. We saw the list they're testing, and it looks like they're hoping to add at least a dozen titles.

We know for a fact that there are lots of people who continue to care about backwards compatibility, including the "Emulation Ninjas" who are working full time on the updates.

'Barbie's Horse Entrail Lasso Competition: The Revenge of Barbie' coming soon maybe!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Of course they're not going to work. Xbox 2 must be some dodgy HK machine. You know the ones, they look like current gen consoles, except made of low quality lime green plastic and have pirate NES games built in. Super Fabio Brothers, Balloon Dyke, Ice Fumblers, Misadventure Island, they have them all! But you got ripped off big time man, those can be downloaded for free.

Anyway that really wasn't worth bumping the dead thread for sorry. Plus updates are still slowly getting there. GONNA CLOSE.

Edit: GONNA OPEN. =D

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
