It's about dam time Nintendo! You'd think they get the ball rolling on the DSi w/ SD card but I'm happy just the same. Though the question remains, will they go straight up black n' white? Or.....implement a sorta Super Game Boy approach? Ya remember. The one where you popped Gameboy games into your SNES and trick out w/ those crazy paint jobs. LOL

I hope they do that.

    I would imagine it will be the same effect as playing GB games on the GBC or GBA.

    Why didn't they do this for the DSi

    My question is, will it also be d/lable for the Wii?

    Why not make it available for the Wii as well? Plenty of people enjoy playing GB games on their TVs.

    Because it's not in Nintendo's book to be that smart.

    Ignoring the Mother/Earthbound series.
    Terrible online support.
    Terrible download transfer support.
    Overpriced VC games.
    Overall lack of VC games.
    Abundance of stupid features. (Example: Everybody Votes Channel)

    That's all the recent stuff I can think of at the moment...

    Oh good starter list but I can do more. image

    - No ownership rights to games, tied to system so if it's stolen/broke re-buy your shit(why I stopped doing it)

    - Mix of great and terrible first party games with questionable moves/downgrades to AAA franchises

    - Ignoring other titles that even if not AAA material could have helped (Fatal Frame4 and Disaster come to mind)

    - Damn well near ignoring the Virtual Arcade

    - Waiting like 3 years for a 'storage fix' for downloads, even then a bit shady

    - Launch to present, basically still nothing for DSi (on cart) worth buying ie: no support

    - Ignoring key franchises this gen (f-zero, star fox, etc)

    instead of jip out w hardware specs they could hav beefed up a memory in the thing to help that w future released consoles. the initial thing w low memory was to try n block piracy on the console. now that's all they do n spend there time w w the wii menu updates. which most of the time do nothing at all. just block the latest custom channels or homebrew channel exploits.

    u can read further to the actual wii menu update explainations at wiibrew.org the emulators on there r better then wiishop stuff w saving on games that don't have it like a lot of nes games

    Except that Wiibrew.org is just not working and looks like it's being hit with a DOService attack. image Anyone know if the people who run that site are aware of what's happening?

    Hex.

    That's awesome. Why not GBA games too though?
