why cant dsi come out like snes and nes classics available for download. I know playing super mario world on wii can be good but having the options to take these games on the road with you would be god to.

because, believe it or not, it's one of the wii's selling points: being a huge emulator. making your own systems fight for sales sounds really stupid.

Because, having a game like SNES and NES games wouldn't go in with the DSi.

Also Nintendo has lost all interest in the wiis VC and I don't think it is making the money it did originally

you do know that their "source power" for the VC is limited, right? earthbound is not the only game with copyright issues, many companies from back then died and the IPs just disappeared (extreme G is an awesome game we'll never see because acclaim died), and let's not ignore the fact that not everybody wants to spend money releasing old games. it takes a while and costs money that could be used in new projects. it's not "nintendo's fault" if, say, konami doesn't want to release sparkster.

I never said it was there fault, if its anybodies fault its people like me who haven't bought many downloadable games on the DSi or Wii

sounds to me that you're blaming them. anyway, we're getting off topic, and the reason i mentioned before IS the reason to why we don't see games like the super mario advance series anymore.

It certainly could be done in theory. But I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo is holding back a handheld version of the virtual console to be a selling point for the 3DS.

thats actually a great idea. they should make snes and nes games available for dl to the ds just as you can do with the psp on the psn. hell you can use your wii to dl crappy demos onto your ds so why not offer full nes/snes games. oh i wont pretend to know the cost to provide a game for dl but it has to be next to nothing. the upkeep for the servers to host the downloads can be another matter but still cant be too costly. at the very least, every nes/snes game that nintendo owns the rights to should have been released by now on the vc.

I'm not gonna lie: If that is indeed what they plan on doing, (I know it's not official, just saying,) then I'm going be more than a tad bit P.O'd...

Least we got Earthworm Jim though.
