I'd love it. The DS can handle graphics up to N64 quality, so it would work pretty well.

Plus, the DSi Ware shop needs some actual games, and not just bullshit.

I think that there would only be NES and SNES games, because of the similar controls

You could still do GB, GBC, and GBA games with the DS' control scheme. And if something is missing, it is possible to put the buttons on the touchscreen. But N64 games wouldn't work, I suppose.

Gameboy games should be available on Wii's Virtual Console too. I want my Metroid 2 and Pokemon Crystal version.

Add Genesis and Game Gear/Master System to that list. I'd love to play Tails Adventure or Psychic World without fretting over paying out the ass for batteries.

From the different rumors I've heard you're gonna be able to buy some old Gameboy and Gameboy Color games from the DSi Shop.

I've heard this too, it seems pretty likely at any rate. Hopefully GBA games show up as well to make up for it's lack of a GBA slot.

Hopfully.

There is no such thing as someone who doesn't like the PS3, there is only poor people who can't afford one. PS3 owners pity you and hope you can one day get out of poverty.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I do believe I have information pertinent to the conversation.

If Nintendo did the obvious, then the Wii would have 1080p.

Its a good idea, but I don't think Nintendo will do it.

The PSP handles PSone classics perfectly fine, so why the fuck not?

yeah, I heard the same thing. That'd be nice. I'd love to be able to play some GB games I've missed over the years, like Super Mario Land 2.

The next Wii, coming out next year, will have 1080p. So, I think Nintendo would do it.

They could put all the Donkey Kong Country games on there no problem. If they did that I would rush out to buy one.

N ain't gonna it because it's not part of "their current strategy" means one thing game boy return by 2011 It's a 99.999999999% this will happen eventualy but, It might not be in 2011 but I would say that 2010 is so likely to be the earliest that there's a better chance that god of war will be on wii and it and zelda wii,halo wii,smashbros4,&arceus is the very last pokemon and all of that happen later today. All of that is more likely then gb's revival being before the end of 2010.

then agian I would rather have gameboy never revived is those things would happen (Except the arceus one but only because I would like final count to be 493 I was thinking 500 would be great total but if there more pokemon I highly dought their be only 7 new pokemon (i predict 146 more next time)

If Virtual Console for DSi is on its way (I highly doubt is anytime soon, though), it would at least make up for the loss of GBA slot but I'd still much rather get a GBA SP and the game cartridges than a DSi. I'm still not fond of the DSi.

What if thay have Ghosts n' Goblins, and right as you're about to beat the last boss for the second time, the power runs out. I don't think people would play that for a while.

Just PM me if you feel like it. It can be completely random, and I love a good conversation.

Do you mean Donkey Kong Land?
