Everyone knows that you can pay to download some old NES, SNES, N64, etc games on the Rev. What if you could download some, and move the games on to your DS wirerlessly. You would have a (mini, because you wouldn't have many games on it) portable NES, SNES, etc. I think Nintendo would make more money off this becasue I know a lot of us classic gamers really want a portable NES. (plus you could put on SNES, etc.) What do you guys thnik?

Personally I LOVE that idea. :D
Perhaps you could have many games on it.
Nintendo could release a blank DS-card on which you can save the games.
That's a really cool idea. :)
Did you think of that yourself or did you read it somewhere?

I thought of it myself. I was playing Dragon Warrior, and my brother was playing my DS, and I was thinking it would be cool, if you could put the NES game on the DS. Then I remembered the Rev., and thought it would be a cool idea.

Nice idea, man.
Perhaps you should let Nintendo know.　 :)
I always dreamt of having Final Fantasy 6, Dragon Quest 6 and other great games on a portable console.

It is a really good idea :D I, too, would love it and i'm pretty sure everyone would. Nintendo should look into it.

that would be cool and would get the guys at Nintendo alot more money because I would not only buy the Revolution, I'd (at a later date and time) go out and buy the GameBoyDS just for that fact. great idea, I think it rocks.

Can someone please explain where people got the idea that it was a Gameboy? Even after Nintendo SPECIFICALLY stated "THE NINTENDO DS IS NOT A SUCCESSOR TO THE GAMEBOY ADVANCE, IT IS A SEPARATE PRODUCT LINE" Excuse the rant... I'm just tired of seeing it...

I know they are different. And i hope they stay different. I wonder how nintendo can even make a new gameboy if they hope to keep the 2d feel.

Sounds like a great idea to me, if I had enough money to afford a DS. I think there may be somehting out now where you can buy a blank cartridge (very expensive) and a deck for it for your pc and then download multiple games onto the cartridge to ply on the portable, but I think the downloaded games have to be the same platform as the portable.

You can't play roms on the official product from Nintendo.
There's an unofficial release, called the GBA movie player, which let's you play NES roms on your GBA, but only files with a max filesize of 200kb. I have that and it works quite well. It plays music and video. You can display pictures and read ebooks.

Hey Manuel, can the GBA Movie Player read through compression (i.e. files with .zip extensions)?

Unfortunately no.
You'll have to put the decompressed romfiles on the card. :( And most of the interesting games are over 200kb. But the GBA movie player is still a cool device.

That is a great idea. The only thing is that Nintendo wouldn't do that. First of all, I doubt the idea of ROMs in the first place(less of a reason for people to buy the games, etc.). Second, they are selling the classic NES games on the GameBoy Advance cartridges; So that would put those out real fast. Thirdly, since the DS plays GameBoy games and its own, technically it is a GameBoy, even if they say it is a different product line that doesn't mean it isn't a GameBoy. It just means thats not the official title.
NES isn't a game system it is a way of life... Demented Joe

The Nintendo DS is no Gameboy. It's a new product line.
It plays only GBA games, no Gameboy (GB, GBC) software.
The GBA cart slot can also be used for expansions of DS games.
