DSi VC wishes?

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

Like Ouen, my #1 DSi VC wish is a DSi VC. Once we have that, then I'll start making lists.

[Refa]

I'd like the Game Boy Mega Man games because they cost so damn much, and Mother 3, and Fire Emblem 6.


....And what Mickey said about anything they can put on there

I think that it would handle N64 emulation okay, seeming that Super Mario 64 DS came, and it looked pretty good.

Super Mario 64 DS is not an emulated N64 game.

On-topic: since Keeper mentioned it in the predictions thread, now I'm starting to really hope for some Electroplankton on DSiWare!

Hasn't nintendo specifically stated that the DSI will only feature new games and will not go down the emulation route. I seem to recall some publisher being refused permission to release an old game on DSI as it was outside their "new game" policy.

They're all exactly the same thing with a few new non-memorable pokemon and random features added in.

Yeah looks like DSi VH isn't happening folks! Looks like those 'confirmation's going around a while ago were bull as I thought. Ah well. Shame. DSi could do with some actually great games on it that DS can't play

It's far, far too early to come to that kind of conclusion!

Let's face it - Nintendo is doing the bare minimum when it comes to Virtual Console Releases. They release only one game per week now simply to show that they haven't forgotten. Given Nintendo's current attitude towards the Virtual Console, they would rather just bury it if they had the choice. Obviously, the new cash cow is apps and shovelware, so I believe the DSi Virtual Handheld concept has been buried before it even got started.

Obviously I could never be 100% sure but I'm sure enough I'd bet money on it, they could have had one by now easily if they had wanted to, and although Wiiware may have launched after the Wii console suggesting Nintendo will launch new game services outside of console launches, they had announced and spoken about Wiiware for months (if not years) before it's release.

All sources, including interviews saying they have no plans, lead towards there being no VH on DSi

Don't forget that Nintendo said there would be no DSi in several interviews mere months before the DSi was launched. Nintendo saying something won't happen isn't good proof that something won't happen. Nintendo has a potential launch window of years for a handheld VC service.

Nothing as far as the Gameboys go. I have a Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, and a Gameboy Advance, all in working condition, and I'd prefer to play the games on that.

What I would like to see though, is the ability to transfer your Wii VC games onto your DSi. With both consoles having SD card slots, it wouldn't be too hard. Just put the games on the SD card, and put it on the DSi. But N64 games probably wouldn't work too well, due to the lack of analogue stick and C-stick on the DSi. Some games like Kirby 64 would be okay though.
