This information is said to have come from a Club Nintendo DSi event...

- downloadable Game Boy and Game Boy Advance titles are coming

Sounds like a dream come true, and if this information is the real deal, you would expect Iwata to talk about it in his keynote this week. Keep your fingers crossed tightly."

That's nice, but that's still not enough to make me buy it. If it's true.


...unless Fire Emblem is downloadable. You know the one I'm talking about.

I think so. I'm not that interested in that one. Not that fun. (Until I hacked it and made my characters Uber-ly kick too much @$$ :) ) I mostly want 7. Maybe 8.

No it was just boring after the first playthrough.(Maybe it was my luck because I got tons of amazing level-ups on that one) The only hard chapter I had was the desert chapter. I'm very 'Full on Charge' in most Fire Emblem games so the hidden Dragons kinda spanked me a few times until I finally sat at spawn until the sun came out.
And come on. A LV. 20 Master Lord Roy is just too much fun. Especially with oo Sword of Seals.

Now that would be a dream comme true.
But my guess is 100 for GB and 200 for GBA

That would be very nice. I could play games I never got a chance to try, like Link's Awakening.

Not in rumor form, but weren't we discussing this possibility back when the DSi and DSiWare was first announced?
It's not really been completely confirmed, so I'm not taking the possibility much more than I was initially.

I wonder if they'll make any interconnection features between GB/A games and DS games. Notably, if they actually have GBA games in the shop, using them as the slot-2 for games like Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum? Having a max cart size of about 32MB does make it a realistic download (even if it's only one generation back), unlike the 1.5GB GCN disc.

As exciting as it may be, this still doesn't explain how we'll be able to transfer pokemon from GBA versions to Diamond, Pearl or Platinum. Or even use the Dongle effect.

I still like this idea a lot though, and believe this makes up greatly for the removal of the slot.

Whether or not it has much likelyhood of being included is another story, but in theory, it's possible for the DSi's software to virtually "mount" a GBA-VC game to a fake slot-2 while a DS game is being played. Essentially, making the DS game think the VC game is a real cart.
Ever used a PC ISO mounting program like Daemon Tools? That's the simplest thing I could compare it to.

I guess that would be the best solution. If they actually do it.
I really wish Nintendo would start thinking these things through early on, instead of just trying to rush through to make money. Which we all know will never happen.
