Soon, Nintendo fans who own both the Wii and the DS will be able to see their fantasies realized, as Reggie Fils-Aime, head honchinator for the company, says that users of the Wii Virtual Console will be able to download entire games for the Nintendo DS to their Wii, and then beam them (the technical term, of course) directly to their DS for game play.
This is not a new concept, as PlayStation Home offers pretty much the same service for PSP games, but it's good to know that Nintendo is consolidating their output so that you can get all of the goodness in one spot. Good on ya, Nintendo.

According to a recent article in The New York Times, Nintendo may soon be planning on better integrating the Wii and DS. Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime (GameDaily BIZ's Person of the Year) told the paper that "complete games" would eventually be downloaded to the Wii and then transferred wirelessly to the DS.
Nintendo had already mentioned in the past that they would use the Wii to offer downloadable DS demos. It's unclear at the moment what sort of "complete games" would be made available or when the first offerings would launch. Some have speculated that this would be a smart way for Nintendo to begin selling GBA games through the Wii's Virtual Console.
With more than six million Wii owners in the U.S. and over 15 million DS owners, it certainly would make sense for Nintendo to think of ways to better connect the two and leverage the respective strengths of each.
It's been out in Japan for awhile.
Sweet.
Its about time.
Can't wait
