Nintendo DS Games coming to Wii U's Virtual Console.

[xRangii]

What's a Wii U?

But in all seriousness, Nintendo is just.. why Nintendo? Why? I'm pretty sure Wii U owners aren't going to be walking around a mall with the gamepad in their hands, playing a DS game. Dangit Nintendo, get your act together.

This would make more sense for 3DS..

However..
I don't see why this is an awful idea either.

But Nintendo isnt Sony???

What I meant was that they need one consistent emulator for all their games instead of creating a custom emulator for a specific title.

 

[Roggyrichy]

That is so stupid

When has Nintendo ever done something smart besides like bring back DKC?

Meanwhile, many awesome GBA games not on 3DS. Why can't they release FE7 or something again, instead of making it exclusive for those stupid "Nintendo Ambassadors"

I can assure you that I'm not stupid.

While Nintendo is attempting to boost Wii U's interest by adding a library of DS games available to download, I could still foresee it arriving on the next portable console. Since they're merging handheld/console team and releasing a console that will support Wii U architecture adequately, I'm strongly inclined to believe that adding GBA and DS games to Wii U VC library makes sense and every NES and SNES game on Wii U eShop will be perfectly playable without too much of hassle.

That article reminds about Nintendo Fusion...

I don't think he's calling you stupid. He's calling the program of Nintendo Ambassadors stupid.

This is idiotic, a clear attempt to boost the Wii U's popularity. I wish Nintendo would just start developing another console that they actually thought through with. Maybe they should make a series for the consoles (AC WII U, NINTENDO! YOU KNOW IT'LL WORK).

DS games are so cheap to pick up second hand... what is the point of this

 

[Blu Rose]

*Facepalm*

Oh my gosh, is Nintendo serious?!
Like, seriously, if you wanted to boost up the popularity of the Wii U, do something that has clearly been thought through to do it!
Ugh...
