It would really be helpful for me since I enjoy making awesome gameplay videos, and I'm pretty good at Mega Man ZX on the DS too! Sadly, there's just no way to video capture a DS game without the proper hardware from Nintendo (a little bit like IGN and GameTrailers, etc.)...

Oh well! It sure would be fun to see it happen one day. The touch screen is the only problem I see though, but Acumen's got some very great ideas that could work.

I thought the wiimotes had built in mics, just no system updates that utilize them yet.

Easiest way around to the DS-games-on-Wii-control issue is simply let the DS be the controller. It's wireless and so is the Wii, so no wire needed. No control problems and you can see your DS games on a TV.

BrainBox has it right. Just control with the DS, display on the Wii. although the bandwidth of 802.11b (DS doesn't support g) is too small to send a decent image over WiFi.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say there will never be a DS player for Wii. It just won't happen. sorry

How would that be possible, the DS has two screens and one of them is a touch screen. A TV is one screen so you would need a seperate screen for the touch screen or use the DS for the touch screen and the TV for the top screen. Or just eliminate the touch screen altogether and just split the tv into two screens which would work, but then no touch screen and a lot of games require the touch screen.

Yeah, it's really not needed. Now if they used the DS to connect to the Wii like Nintendo did for the GBA/GC then that'll be ok. I'm actually pretty sure that they have this already in action (i.e., Pokemon Battle Revolution) I just hope that SE will try it again in the next FF:CB iteration on Wii coming out in 2008 with the DS. FF:CC was too expensive using all of that equipment and might be better on the Wii due to being wireless.

 Figured that might be a problem. Means the DS game would have to plug into the Wii somehow. Shame we can't just cram them into the SD slot, but there's USB ports on the back for a reason. They could probably make a DS card reader if they wanted to, but I kinda doubt they would since that'd probably lead to people more easily pirating DS games.

I do wonder if Nintendo is going to release a super-size DS so old folks can see the screen better.

You know, kinda like a remote control with giant buttons for the TV.

 I hope not because then the DS will lose it's portabilt, not to mention that it'll probably be to heavy for them to be carrying around anyways.
