Nintendo DSi Game Boy & Game Boy Advance Downloads DSi Virtual Console On the Cards?

According to a report originating from the Kombo gaming site, an
announcement at a recent event for Club Nintendo members purportedly
confirmed that the Nintendo DSi will be gaining its own Virtual Console
which will allow Nintendo DSi owners to download Game Boy and Game Boy
Advance titles from (we naturally assume) Nintendo's DSiWare app store
which, as we reported recently, is reportedly edging ever closer to an
international rollout.

Nintendo have, however, and not all that surprisingly, refused to either
confirm or deny that Game Boy and Game Boy Advance titles could be
offered in the future to DSi owners to play via the reported DSi Virtual
Console, so we should stress that, at this stage at least, the above
should be treated as speculation (albeit seemingly informed speculation).

Personally, and I don't doubt that many will disagree, we can envisage
Game Boy/Game Boy Advance downloadable content going down a storm and
its not as if we don't have a precedent - after all the Nintendo Wii has
just such a Virtual Console.

We wait with baited breath for official word from Nintendo on the matter
but, make no mistake, we won't be holding our breath (well, not for the
time being anyhow).
