The Game Boy Color was the first backwards compatible Nintendo system since it could play OG Game Boy games, but if you consider those to be too “similar,” the GB Advance would also play Game Boy carts.
I think the first STANDALONE backwards compatible system was indeed GBC or GBA, depending on your point of view. The GB adapter for Super NES sure does predate them. I like how the answer to this is complicated based on point of view.
@@nicholasbullock1709The Power Base Converter for Genesis allowed us to play Master System games back in ‘89. Also I believe the Atari 7800 could play 2600 games natively, and the 5200 could play 2600 with an adapter.
Radioflyer was a depressing movie, but was really well done. A video game based off of it makes less sense than a SNES game based off of Home Improvement. Now a VR version of Tool Time would be pretty cool.
So for handhelds, GBC was the first backward compatible console, but for home consoles, it wasn’t until the Wii that Nintendo finally embraced backward compatibility. I don’t know if you can really count the super game boy or the game boy player for GC as backward compatible, but they did allow you to play game boy games on your TV.
@thatguyyouis Do you count the Power Base Converter as bc for the Sega Genesis too? Note that unlike the Super NES which doesn't had Game Boy hardware in its system, the Genesis does had Sega Master System hardware wirhin its system, the Power Base Converter had no hardware inside, it's basically just a bridge that allows you to bypass the Genesis connector so the SMS games could comnect to the z80 on the Genesis.
This was fun to research, although it's kind of unreal how deep you can go down a rabbit hole with the SNES. It takes a few hours usually to get everything together, and it's always worth it when the production value and everything else for this video is so, so good. I would love to see some stuff I missed, because it's easy for me to miss stuff lol.
GBC was probably the first backwards compatible handheld console. Either that or the GBA. Wii was the first home console that was backwards compatible with the previous generation.
The SNES had a thing you could plug into the main cartridge slot that would play Gameboy and Gameboy color games. I'm keeping my GameCube forever because I have the GBA adapter installed
They had that SNES Arcade Cabinet at a place called "Kids Castle" where I grew up... I distinctly remember it having more games though. the ones mentioned were there but it also had games like "Zombies Ate My Neighbors"
What is really weird is I remember one with 10 SNES games and 10 NES games well technically more NES games because one of the SNES ones was Super Mario All Stars plus Super Mario World.
Good luck getting past the Level with the giant worms, I kept dying after using all my bazooka rounds since only bazookas were powerful enough to kill them, provided you have a clear shot of the wormy bastards! I eventually sold mine at a yard sale decades ago, nowadays I just have the soundtrack and prefer just the Full Playthrough Video from UA-cam via RealDownloader!
I remember seeing similar devjces as a kid in McDonald's restaurants in the southeastern United Stares as a kid in the early 1990's. They usually had a limited variety of games that seemed to have limited play times due to an internal timer and no battery back up for saving game progress.
I prefer to acknowledge it only 3 ways, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo, and SuperNES. I heard a fellow Kroger bagger and/or customer pronounce S.N.E.S as Snez, I looked at him disapprovingly because I'm very respectable toward proper pronunciation of words and terminologies and of course, things I hold most dear when it comes to anything I have an interest in as someone who has Aspergers Syndrome!
@@beavis4763Would you count the New 3DS as being backwards compatible with 3DS if so yes. If you would say it is just an upgrade of the same console than no. GB and GBC are in the same grey area.

The arcade near me has a Super System cab that's in good condition. I was just there a few weeks ago and played it for about 10 min before moving on. The controllers on the cab are actually pretty large and all the buttons (even on the dpad) use micro switches which gives a completely different feel to those classic games. It was honestly a little jarring. I had no idea that I was playing something so rare. I'm going to have to make another trip and give it another try.

2:35 I'm surprised it sold poorly. That's simply because I actually did play one of those SNES arcades. It's not like I lived in a major city either. I do live an hour North of San Francisco but this Super Nintendo arcade was in my hometown of Santa Rosa. in a movie theater.

So many people don't believe new whenever I talk about the SNES online games it was so much fun to do honestly but man it was a bit buggy depending on the game and ping
As a nes programmer I believe the first compatible system is the super Nintendo, it had a nes style mode and could switch between 16bit and 8bit coding making games like super Mario all stars and the ninja gaiden collection eaay to port. Even super Mario would started off as a port of smb3. Nintendo wanted backward compatibility but cancelled it. I did see a third party adapter when I was a kid. But then again super game boy allowed snes to play game boy gamesv officially so there is that.
there was a super system on the ferry i took to and from the mainland when i lived on an island.... i never had a snes growing up but i got to play it around 30 minutes a day when on the ferry ride home after school :) it had super mario world, addams family, and fzero
7800 got there first. And the Colecovision beat that, if we're counting the 2600 add-on. Even if that doesn't count, because the two systems aren't related, the Genesis/Megadrive beat Nintendo to it.
jeeze i guess i should consider myself lucky for playing one of those arcade units in the wild :o it was at a pretty dilapidated theater when howl's moving castle played on the big screen here in the US. I really liked the weird oversized pads lol
The first HOME console from Nintendo that was natively, without any additional attachments, backwards compatible was the Wii. The first ever was the Gameboy Color.
The first backwards compatible console was with the Super Game Boy. It was an addon but it let you play Game Boy games on the SNES, In color, sort of...
IThe Wii was really the first Nintendo console that was backwards compatible since it could play Gamecube discs out of the box (most simple answer). It also played games for previous consoles via emulation; various kinds of official re-releases and not-so official methods via the homebrew channel. If we're counting handhelds, it's the SNES with the Super GameBoy since the GameBoy released around two years before the SNES. This is a bit of a stretch though because it's a handheld, GameBoy was still a current format and you needed a Super GameBoy (which was basically buying a GameBoy in a SNES cartridge). Great device though and a clever little thing for its time. If we're talking add-ons and unofficial methods, again it's the SNES. There was the unlicensed (and now rare) Super 8 add-on that could play NES cartridges on a SNES and also copy games to floppy discs. Then there's the SNES again with the RetroPort adapter that plays NES cartidges. This is also a stretch because it outputs the video and audio from the adapter using a different cable (it's kind of a parasite peripheral, using the SNES for power and button inputs). It's also a stretch because it didn't exist until after the Wii. Finally, it's the SNES again with the Project Nested emulator. This is a process that needs NES roms to convert to SNES-compatible emulated roms which then run on flash cartridges (Everdrives, FX Pak Pro etc). You could dump a NES cartridge, convert it using Project Nested in your PC and then play it on a SNES with no additional hardware in the SNES. Again, it's kind of a stretch for those reasons... and also because it didn't exist until about three years ago.

The GameBoy Color was the first backwards compatible console from Nintendo. On another note, I'm hopeful that F-Zero GX/AX gets an HD remaster for Switch.
Blast processing on the Mega Drive wasn‘t invented when they used it for marketting. It was used a lot earlier, but only was given that name when marketing needed a buzzword to go against Nintendo.
If you count the Super GameBoy, the first backwards compatible system would be the SNES. It could play GameBoy games with the Super GameBoy cartridge. …and if you had a Super 8, it could play NES, Famicom, and both SNES and SFC cartridges.
psst.....Super Nintendo was the first backwards compatible system, because it had the Super Gameboy cart (additional accessory) where you can plug in original gameboy games if I'm not mistaken.

The first backwards compatible CONSOLE would be the wii. But first backwards compatible nintendo game system would be either the Gameboy advance, or the Gameboy color if you want to be technical.
As far as I know if we are literally just talking about backwards compatibility systems. I think the game boy color was the first. But the first actual console to do so that wasn’t mobile was the Wii. However if you’re looking for an all around answer, the super 8, and unlicensed add on to the Super Nintendo technically made the snes the first backwards compatible Nintendo home console. I could be wrong but to my knowledge that is all correct and the firsts for Nintendo. Wasn’t sure what would be considered the actual first so I thought I’d name all 3 here lol I’d also love seeing an hour long doc on the Sony Nintendo falling out

If we're talking add-ons and unofficial methods, again it's the SNES. There was the unlicensed (and now rare) Super 8 add-on that could play NES cartridges on a SNES and also copy games to floppy discs.
Then there's the SNES again with the RetroPort adapter that plays NES cartidges. This is also a stretch because it outputs the video and audio from the adapter using a different cable (it's kind of a parasite peripheral, using the SNES for power and button inputs). It's also a stretch because it didn't exist until after the Wii.
Finally, it's the SNES again with the Project Nested emulator. This is a process that needs NES roms to convert to SNES-compatible emulated roms which then run on flash cartridges (Everdrives, FX Pak Pro etc). You could dump a NES cartridge, convert it using Project Nested in your PC and then play it on a SNES with no additional hardware in the SNES. Again, it's kind of a stretch for those reasons... and also because it didn't exist until about three years ago.

The GameBoy Color was the first backwards compatible console from Nintendo.
On another note, I'm hopeful that F-Zero GX/AX gets an HD remaster for Switch.
Blast processing on the Mega Drive wasn‘t invented when they used it for marketting. It was used a lot earlier, but only was given that name when marketing needed a buzzword to go against Nintendo.
I made it, Mark... My first video from y'all. I like it!
If you count the Super GameBoy, the first backwards compatible system would be the SNES. It could play GameBoy games with the Super GameBoy cartridge. …and if you had a Super 8, it could play NES, Famicom, and both SNES and SFC cartridges.
Sweet My 1oz Krug is the same year! It was the first or second oz of gold I ever got. Grats buddy. Happy Stackin eh!
psst.....Super Nintendo was the first backwards compatible system, because it had the Super Gameboy cart (additional accessory) where you can plug in original gameboy games if I'm not mistaken.
I played those SNES arcade cabinets WAY back in the day - I remember them at McDonalds! I was like 7 years old lol (in 1991 😔)
GBC is the first backwards compatible system. But you could say Wii U is the first home console to have it.
Nintendo didn't build an out-of-the-box backwards-compatible home console until the Wii.
I made it Mark! While working :)
If you can get together an hour of content about the Nintendo PlayStation, I will absolutely watch it.
And of course I made it, ma!

You don’t play as Link in BS Zelda Ancient Stone Tablets, you play as either the Boy or Girl Mascot for the Satellaview … also I made it Mark.
I made it! Was hoping for something on killer instinct. Oh well.
The first backwards compatible CONSOLE would be the wii. But first backwards compatible nintendo game system would be either the Gameboy advance, or the Gameboy color if you want to be technical.
As far as I know if we are literally just talking about backwards compatibility systems. I think the game boy color was the first. But the first actual console to do so that wasn’t mobile was the Wii. However if you’re looking for an all around answer, the super 8, and unlicensed add on to the Super Nintendo technically made the snes the first backwards compatible Nintendo home console. I could be wrong but to my knowledge that is all correct and the firsts for Nintendo. Wasn’t sure what would be considered the actual first so I thought I’d name all 3 here lol
I’d also love seeing an hour long doc on the Sony Nintendo falling out
Grew up playing snes and calling it Super Nintendo, but I really like the sound of Super NES and I think that’s what I’ll call it from now on.
Apparently people have commented "I made it Mark!" but I swear I heard "I made it ma!" 😂
The koopaling Morton wasn’t named after a musician.
Also, I made it Ma! Top of the world!
