First Generation models ie. those that were released first were fully backwards compatible and played PS2 and PS1 games as well as PS3 games. The second generation of the PS3 also which also had 4 USB ports were also Backwards compatible with many of the PS2 games. All other PS3 models lack the backwards compatible feature and are not considered to be Backwards compatible. see related link.
Hate to tell you this, but every ps3 can play ps1 games including the slim. 20gb 60gb 80gb are backwards compatible with ps2 games.
It can, because the Wii is backwards compatible with GameCube games. If you have the Wii Mini, though, you can't, because that isn't backwards compatible with GameCube games.
Yes they are. PS2 are "backwards" compatible with PS1 games
Yes all models of ps3 support backwards compatibility with ps1 games. The newer models only lost support for ps2 backwards compatibility. Its a common misconception that the ps3 lost all backwards compatibility. Also ps1 games look great on a ps3 running at 1080p.
No. PlayStation 2 games are not backwards-compatible with the original PlayStation.
Pokemon can not transfer backwards. You can get Pokemon from other games to Unova, but the opposite is impossible.
Yes, it can so long as the games are backwards compatible.
Yes the PS2 will play PS1 games
The Wii U can play all Wii games since it is backwards compatible.
No. PlayStation 3 games are not backwards-compatible with the PlayStation 2.
They are the same. (New PS3s are not backwards compatible with PS2 games.)
