Download 'complete' DS games through Wii, NY Times reports

Hmm, maybe you're right. An SD card slot adapter that plugs into the GBA port, so you can either download the games via wifi or SD card...that would be sweet.
This is all speculation of course.
Now where is the "everyone Nintendo" channel? Get on it Reggie!

yea that would be the easiest way to do it. just turn the GBA slot into some sort of flash memory for the VC and you would be set.....well as long as they dont try to settle for 512MB in that too lol.

Yeah, I sure as hell don't see an SD card slot on mine anywhere. Unless it's in the little hatch on the back where the battery pack is.. I don't have a screwdriver here at work to check that. But I would doubt that, anyway.

The DS cards are like a modified SD card, same size, but different connectors.

The DS uses cartridges, but although they are a similar size they are not SD cards.

DS Game Cards are solid state ROM chips, with some flash memory or EEPROM for game saves.

They are bigger than SD cards (at least twice as big).

D'oh! You're right, the cards are about the same size, but the connectors are different. Weird that I never noticed, I mess with both of them all the time.

So, maybe a blank DS cartridge you can load up with games and demos would work. Seems like Nintendo had a similar idea in Japan with the Gameboy, I think, where people could buy blank cartridges and load them up at a sort of vending machine.

I was just about to make the exact same comment.

Well... you can always go to a DS Download Station.

You can download a DS?

Dan, you're as witty as a brick wall.

Take the GBA slot out?... NOOO!

I buy more GBA games than DS games... Is that strange?

Is the GI your talking about have C&C Tiberium on it?

When you can get your DS for $89 it won't matter that the new DS doesn't have a GBA slot. I have like 3 DSes and an advance.. You'll work something out, and I'm sure that's what Nintendo is betting on.
Really though, it doesn't make business sense to make things backwards compatible for more than a generation, but the time generation 3 is around, generation 1's prices have fallen below the cost of implementing backwards compatibility.

swinging a controller like a tennis racket makes more sense than pressing a button...

i'm juss sayin

Umm... yeah.

Seeing how the competition has pretty much copied two thirds of everything Nintendo has ever come up with, I'd say a lot of what they do DOES make sense.

I'm a hardcore gamer and I'm happy with them...

lol "hardcore gamers like myself"


Spoiler: that sentence alone makes it pretty likely that you aren't.

Wow, I'm not even sure what to respond to that. LOL.

An epic lawl for you, my friend. By that logic, the only system you should ever buy games for is the PS3.

After all, with a simple and inexpensive modchip install, PS2 and Wii games can be downloaded off the internet with ease. In fact, if you have an old fat PS2, all you need is HDloader! A SATA connector and a DOS PC can get you access to any XBox 360 game, AND allow you to play your backups on live. The PC has ALWAYS been rife with piracy, and now is no exception. A memory stick and a battery can get you every single PSP game ever created for your enjoyment, plus as many PS1 games as you can rip. And finally, the aforementioned DS is completely unlocked with a $30 R4, DSX, EZ5 or M3 perfect.

So, by your douchebag deadbeat logic, the only games worth buying are PS3 games because you can't "break a few laws" and steal them. You know, now that you mention it, what the hell am I doing working for a living? I'm MUCH better off breaking a few laws and just printing my own money. I have a DS and everything! This argument seriously needs to start warranting a ban because I'm fucking sick of it. SURE IT'S CHEAPER TO BOOTLEG IT. YOU'RE BOOTLEGGING IT. For fuck's sake.

Yeah. Why pay for something when you can steal it? Get a fucking job.

I agree with a ban for retarded comments like this.
