You're probably right. I mean, the homebrew scene has converters for flash stuff and what not, but history's proven that generally, if it's going to be upgraded at all, it'll be a new system... except for the Expansion thing on 64 and the disc reader and some other stuff. But I'm pretty sure they planned the release of all that from the beginning anyways. *sigh* No 20GB DSes... they would so rape iPods... and PSPs... oh wait, DS already stomps the PSP!

Aren't you aware of Flash Cards people? They give us the option to save some things on these...

Anyway, I don't think a handheld console is the best way to play old games. Plus there are lots of emulators out already...

Chrono Trigger was the SNES one, the better one. Chrono Chross was on PSX, and I didn't like it as much. But if I could get a hold of Chrono Trigger for DS or something along those lines, I would sell my soul.

Quite a few SNES games were ported to the GBA anyway, and some games are being ported onto the DS. Perhaps the Wii should only have the VC, and DS owners could stick with straight ports? Ports are the way of the future, after all.

Nintendo would probably make more money off doing ports for the DS plus making them available on the VC. So I assume that's what they would do.

A port is a game that has been rereleased onto a different system, such as the Super Mario and Donkey Kong Country games for the GBA.

Yeah, that's what a port is. People call them ports because it's essential the same game they are just "porting" it to another system, or not really changing anything or making anything better. All the Classic NES series games for the GBA are ports.

Yep, exactly what I said. Tongue

Now that I think of it, though, it would probably be better(and cheaper) to just download the games onto the DS than spending an extra 20 quid or something to go out and buy the same game. With the exception of Final Fantasy III of course. Tongue
