GBA Games on DSiWare?

Do you think that Nintendo intends to release GBA Games onto DSiWare? Maybe this why they removed the GBA Slot?

Kind of stealing Microsoft's idea to re-release Banjo-Kazooie and the soon to be re-released Bajo-Tooie? Old cherished game new audience.

Alot of kids are running around begging for a DSi, and a majority of homes nowadays have some sort of wifi which makes it much more accessible to adults and children alike. Maybe soon, children will be enjoying Pokemon Red or Green or maybe even Yellow.

Discuss.

Apparently it's been discussed. Wether they'll take it further than discussion though is another thing. But it would be a great idea, giving classics a new life for a new audience, I love the idea of Pokemon Gold & Silver being rereleased. possibly with D/P compatability.

I'm hoping for an official translation of Mother 3.

I hope so, and that idea with gold and silver being released with compatibility with D/P/other P () is a awesome idea TC .

Having Game Boy games as DSiWare is probably the reason why Nintendo got rid of the GBA slot to begin with. The can resell the games again.

And that is so most likely the case.

Even still though, I'm not buying a DSi unless they put Pokemon Gold or Slver on there.

Well, I would definitely welcome it.

Also, I believe it has already been unofficially confirmed.

Ahaha...Yay, i finally get something right!

I will certainly welcome it with open hands. Ive been telling my brother this for a few days before I made the thread.

Im slightly certain (dont come back 2 months or so later going ahaha your WRONG) that Nintendo will do this, why else (other then keeping it clean and thin) would Nintendo remove the GBA slot and manage not to lose customers?

They removed the GBA slot to make it thinner guys. They're trying to imitate Apple, not steal our monies.
