Topic: When do you think Gameboy games might be made available for download on the DSi shop?

Virtual console games are selling quite well on Wii so why hasn't Nintendo started putting old GB and GBA games up for grabs on the DSi? Seems like a logical next step to me. The current DSiware hasn't been too thrilling and I probably won't be getting a DSi until I hear something official from Nintendo on the matter. There are so many good gameboy games out there that are next to impossible to find anymore. Sure would be nice to have a legal inexpensive way to aquire them.

@Roopa I agree with you, but I think they might do it in the future if DS lites stop being produced, or if there are big sales for DSi. Right now the audience is too small, but it could grow a lot over the net year or so. I imagine sales will boost once the price drop hits.

I don't know, but If they did it would convince me to buy a DSi

definitely. the main reason i didn't get the dsi is because it doesn't have the second slot for gameboy games and if that came out, i might just be convinced to buy one.

Same, though I think I heard somewhere that it wasn't gonna happen.

Never

I want it just as bad as you, but sometimes you just gotta face the fact...

you use a gameboy to play gameboy games if you dont have one find one at gamestop..... i bought the ds lite for ds games not for gameboy advanced games.....

didn't they practically announce it at a conference in Japan?

Not soon...
