backwards compatibility with digital

Fucking please

The 3DS did have a tool that let you transfer digital DSi applications from the DSi onto the 3DS, and same with the Wii U for Wii digital applications. Pretty sure they're also planning to retain the current Nintendo Account system for the next console as well, so I'd say digital backwards compatibility is just as safe a bet as physical backwards compatibility.
