Thought this would never leave the shores of Japan. :P

Good to hear the news, and being launched side by side with WiiWare. May's gonna be pretty awesome if I do say so myself.

I agree, I could never get my hands on a DS (mostly because of my sister), but now that DS games can come to the Wii, I'm gonna be one happy camper. I just hope it doesn't take too much room x-x.


 

I think you misunderstand. DS downloads would still require a DS. They'd just download to the DS via the Wii. And most likely just Demos.

Ooh sounds fun.. May will be a pretty neato month I think. Looking forward to it! (and mario kart of course.. close enough to May to count anyways)



Finally.

"When WiiWare launched in Japan on March 25th, the service offered nine new games. Then, no new releases at all (except, of course, for My Life as a King and Lonpos DLC) until almost a month later, when Minna de Puzzloop showed up.

According to a Wired discussion with Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America is going to take more of a Virtual Console-like approach, in which everyone complains that each week's new game isn't Earthbound two or three games come out every week. That means that all the games that were previously announced for launch, like Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, Pop, and Major League Eating will be spread out across the first month or so."
