I see it being possible, but not feasible. Keep in mind that a lot of the DS games incorporate the mic and even opening and closing the lid of the DS as part of teh gameplay. The DS is doing too well as its own thing for Nintendo to want to mess around with some sort of Wii DS player.

In terms of pure scren size, it could be done. The standard resolution for the DS is 256x192 per screen, so that's 384 + 36 pixels inbetween the two screens, which leaves you 30 pixels above and below on a standard TV, then if you figure average 3:4 screenwidth to be 640, then you'd have 348 left over from the width of a DS screen. It would be possible to fit two DSs on a single screen.

Actually, thinking on this, if you mapped the buttons carefully, it could be done. Just have it so the D pad handles the ABXY buttons(also have the AB12 buttons act as a secondary input method), and the C and Z buttons on the Nunchuck handle the LR buttons, - and + on the Wiimote can handle the start and select.

Things like blowing into the mic could be replaced with shaking teh nunchuck, and closing teh DS lid could be replaced with pressing teh home button and then coming back.

By doing this, it would be possible to essentially use two Wiimote + nunchucks to play 2 DS games on the Wii at once. Which would actually be kinda cool.

It's never gonna happen though. Nintendo just ain't gonna put in something that would compete with the DS. Also, for things where you have voice input, you'd still need a microphone. Admittedly, boogie had one that plugged into USB, but it seems like too much trouble to properly support something like this.
