Nintendo at E3 2011

[Blix]

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has also confirmed that the Wii U will feature no backward compatibility with GameCube games or accessories. Considering the proprietary connector on GameCube controllers, that's not surprising. However, he did announce during Nintendo's press conference that the console will support all Wii games and accessories, including the Wii Remote and Classic Controller.

Does that put your mind at ease, Gecko? I don't remember exactly what you were saying about this and I've got no time to read atm.
