    The DS even had backwards compatibility with the GBA. I think it didn’t work with GB/C games though for some reason.

    Someone else already pointed out that the Super Nintendo wasn’t backwards compatible. The SNES’ competitor was backwards compatible though – an optional accessory for the Mega Drive/Genesis allowed you to play Master System games!
