More information here.

The DSi Ware is great, but is it confirmed whether there is or isn't a virtual console coming?

I heard that it is, and that it isn't.

A link would be nice too. :D Thanks.

Hopefully there will be. It will be a dumb move on Nintendos part not to include it.

What is your problem dude. You're right I could go look up the link of no official announcement - but there has been none - so no freaking link. Nintendo has not officially announced this. I'm sorry for trying to help you. And by the way, your the lazy *** - so go look this info up yourself then.

When I said Laziness, I meant was that Nintendo's reason for not making a Virtual Console. Chill out.

Reggie Fils-Aime said in a interview with Wired, that the concept of Virtual Console on DSi is not something that they've talked about. Whether or not that means there won't be one remains to be seen. But going by what his comment on what he wants developers to produce for DSiWare, which was that they "don't want to see games that don't take advantage of the unique capabilities of the DS", I don't think it's very likely that we'll see any old Game Boy games on the DSi.

Even with Reggie's most recent comments, I'm still personally convinced there will be a virtual handheld.

Yeah, I still feel that they will eventually. Maybe not make as many games as the Wii's virtual console, but I still think they will.

Sorry there! Misunderstood and caught me at a bad moment. I'm hoping it will happen though. I'd really love to see it be even more open and connected to the wii where I can download not only the GB/GBC or GBA games but also the NES, SNES, etc on either my Wii or DSi and play them on either - but I know thats asking for too much... haha.

If they did that, I might buy a DSi.

On the 22nd they said virtual console will be released in Japan, wasn't confirmed for anywhere else. Don't try getting a Japanese DSi though, it's region locked.

Thanks. That's all I ask. If it comes to the US, I hope they put MGS on it.
