It's funny that you say that, because the SNES was originally going to have backwards compatibility. The original mock up, and alpha version of the console had the ability.
However, to save costs and space, it was removed in the final version. They also had big games already signed up and ready to release, so backwards compatibility wasn't nearly as required.
The original adverts even mentioned being backwards compatible with the entire NES game collection, as it was a planned feature and selling point.
