to play nes,snes and gen games just like on the wii..DS is technically capable of emulating these 3 systems and with so many snes remakes it would be alot cooler if they put something similar on the ds

Look at the storage problems on the Wii. The DS doesn't even have a HDD.

The DS cant handle the SNESs screen resolution, I know, Ive tried.

Although, it can handle the NES.

There is nothing stopping them from scaling down slightly. The GBA ports did this and tbh I didn't think it made things dramatically different. TBH the system link between the DS and Wii is so underusd it's almost criminal.

yep. and if they made a special card for it, it would make pirated games even easier to get and make >_>

maybe on the "DS 2"

Being able to download VC onto the DS is strictly against Nintendo. VC on the DS is practically saying having some sort of flashcart for the DS, which is against the law. Well, in Nintendo that is...

I'd be okay with that ONLY if you can transfer your downloaded games from the Wii to the DS. I'm not giving Nintendo more money for 20 year old games yet again.

That would be awesome, and a huge step forward for Nintendo.

I imagine an iTunes-like service, more user friendly and more detailed than the current Virtual Console, with a larger library of titles to choose from.

You'd plug your third-edition DS into your computer (or Wii, I guess, but ideally this should be a service for both), sync it like an iPod and be able to take all of your purchased games with you.

Keep the games cheap, keep the service easy, and a ton of people would use it. I know I would.

But.

It's so not Nintendo. This is the same reason companies like SquareEnix are releasing Chrono Trigger as full DS ports, because you can make a whole lot more money off $40 games versus $8 games. I just wish they'd get past that, embrace digital distribution and take larger numbers of cheap games sold instead of expensive cartridges.

Even right now there's no reason Nintendo couldn't release a slot-less DS with 2GB of onboard memory, since most DS games peak at ~60MB and you could easily copy them all to it if Nintendo had the foresight to do it.

this would be a cool feature but probably more likely for the next ninty handheld and id expect to see gb/gbc/gba and possibly gamegear games as well as maybe some neogeo pocket and stuff from handhelds.

the main reason why they cant stop ds piracy is coz they should have put an updateable firmware which prevents use of flashcarts...
