Are people just not reading things anymore. You can just go read the original interview where this is pulling from and find that it's very clearly backwards compatible. Just not in the exact same way that the Wii/WiiU/DS/3DS were. It's arguably Better than those due to the enhancements that the technical overhead provides that the prior mentioned consoles don't.

WHEEEEZZZEEEE

i agree that this would be terrifying– but almost exclusively because the gatekeepers that this situation creates are consistently fucking obnoxious about it and refuse to engage with the new installment/new fans in any sort of rational way. 100% of new fans will have some amount of dormant (even morbid) interest in the old thing and it should be the old guards job to fuel that interest! discuss what they hold in common and where the new succeeds over the old just as much as the inverse! nuance!

what ends up happening instead is old fans brewing civil war and infighting through framing new fans as an opposition of clueless and dangerous newbies harmful to the franchise's future; an outcome that satiates absolutely nobody other than providing a toxic sense of loyalty to your preferred side of the coin.

"Kill yourself" is basic. "I hope your fandom gets a new installment that is objectively a great work but also tonally dissonant from the previous ones in a way that generates a huge newbie boom of people uninterested and hostile towards the history of the franchise" is smart. It's possible. It's terrifying. It's happening right now.
