True but the wii U does have all the features needed to run ds games.2 screens,stylus controls.Plus it's not they have to make the games in hd in order to play on the wii U.They could do something like apple does with thier ipod and iphone games that can be played on the ipad without changing the quality of the orignal

Most DS games are actually made for DS, to be portable.

I seriously doubt it. DS Games would be available on the 3DS more likely than the Wii U. Just as GC Games would be available on Wii U and not 3DS.

Not really.About 70% of the ds library is full of rpg's and jrpgs which most people play for more than just 5 minutes and spend hours into those types of games

Exactly. But they also are supposed to use te DS in it's own way. (Two Screens and stuff.) Also, it would look horrid on a TV.

No.

Next question!

I'm 99.9% certain they won't. DS games should just stay where they belong: on the (3)DS.

I play all my portable games at home, oddly enough, and alot of them are RPGs or Metroid-style adventure games.

@TV look. They would look just as good as most SNES games do on the virtual console. True, a game like Spirit tracks may look aweful, but the FFIV port would look nice and so would games like Castlevania.

I think all of you naysayers are forgetting the only good best hardware add-on Nintendo has ever made.

I think they should but am not sure either way.

Does the 3DS play any home console games on its VC?

I think Nintendo should make the VC and other downloadable content only limited by the controls offered on said console.

So, 3DS should play anything from Wii on down, so long as it can be accomplished on its controls and the same for Wii you with Wii/DS on down. Obviously the tablet controller would allow Wii U to mimick any DS game that didn't also utilize the GBA port.

It's very possible. I would buy a DS player for it.

I wonder if they're going to start letting you download full DS titles on the 3DS, though. It'd instantly increase the eShop's offerings by about a thousand titles.*

*lol

@Superchink (EDIT: I really did mean chunk there, sorry! Leaving it in for the giggles), you can download Super Mario Bros on the e-shop as far as I know.
