Nintendo DSi should have VIRTUAL CONSOLE games like the Wii

[M200XL]

Question, how do you play 2 player games on virtual console, the second wii remote will not respond when I try to play old nes games with other people :P

[PrinzessinRamode]

@M200XL why are you even considering using that dumb Wii-remote? Put that garbage down and plug in a Gamecube controller.

[M200XL]

@PrinzessinRamode I did and that didnt work either :P. Now how do I play two players on a virtual console game

[PrinzessinRamode]

@M200XL are the games you are trying to play even 2 player? Do you have the Homebrew Channel or anything on your Wii?

[PrinzessinRamode]

@M200XL are the games you are trying to play even 2 player? Do you have the Homebrew Channel or anything on your Wii? You just plug in the controllers and select 2 player mode.

[M200XL]

@PrinzessinRamode Yes, blades of steel(hockey), street fighter 2. I tried to connect the second remote but it wouldnt work and these are nes and sega genesis games so usually they dont need the classic controller

[PrinzessinRamode]

@M200XL I don't know what to say. Contact Nintendo directly.

[M200XL]

@PrinzessinRamode Sounds like a plan ^_^

[blackrose8120]

I know! I was so dissapointed when I first looked through the existing games. What about Zelda, I'd love some old school zelda games for on the ds *-*

[bland9876]

Can the dsi play wii virtual console games like super Metroid and Mario?

[PrinzessinRamode]

@bland9876 I think it was the Nintendo 3DS that was introduced as having Virtual Console games from the Game library. Right now, the only way to play "Virtual Console" games on a DS is by using flash media and having emulators on them.

[alternateshadow300]

They're most likely gonna do it

[eddypikachu]

wow!great idea, ill call it virtual handheld

[wwerulzs64]

the dsi vc sould have gba games and a little snes

[crunchvx]

how did you put these on your dsi can you put a tutorial up please

[TheUnicorn143]

how can you get the pokemon games? i tried and never found them can you tell me how?

[BMPlaysPokes]

.....Virtual console would be a good idea if the DSi had more than 16MB ram.

[PrinzessinRamode]

@BMPlaysPokes, the DSi has 256MB of storage.

[BMPlaysPokes]

@PrinzessinRamode really? I didn't know that =O

[CodexReader97]

I was thinking the same thing! Like classic handheld games such as zelda oracles or old pokemon!

[PrinzessinRamode]

@CodexReader97, that would be great. For Pokemon games, have Red version on the top screen and Blue version on the bottom screen. Hmm, does anyone know how and where to suggest this to Nintendo?

[CodexReader97]

Go to nintendo's official site and send a message to them. I've sent them one and they say that a majority of people have to ask for that. So go ahead and do so.

[Imwalles]

they should have vc but they say no anyways they could make good money off vc titles like pokemon or mario bros or zelda.

[CFalcon095]

ive emailed nintendo on the subject alot of times but they always say things like "there is no plans at the moment to add virtual console service to the DSi store"

[PrinzessinRamode]

@CFalcon095, they email you saying "We have no plans to take care of our old gaming audiences from the NES days, sorry". Nintendo has been treating their retro audience like crap.

[CFalcon095]

yeh i know, but there is still hope, over in japan the dsiware shop has game and watch games on it

[Drag0nfoxx]

How do you email them? I want to suggest some thing to them as well.

[CFalcon095]

type in "contact nintendo" in google and its one of the top 2 links i don't remember right now but the page u want has a big text box in the middle and a small one above 2 put ur email adress into but nintendo don't listen to our suggestions anyway "for legal reasons" as they will probs say 2 u

[PrinzessinRamode]

@CFalcon095, thanks. I will ask them about this thing. In this case, it should not be a question of legality due to the fact they should own their own games and easily put them on DSi. Now unfortunately, Nintendo is putting out ANOTHER Nintendo DSi called the XL. But I will send them questions. Possibly instead of getting a cheap Electroplankton game demo, maybe they will put on a REAL Mario Paint composer, however, there are already fan versions requiring NoPass cards.

[eddypikachu]

@PrinzessinRamode we dont really need the mario paint composer, because of warioware diy

[Drag0nfoxx]

Thanks. I mailed them a suggestion about making a new type of Mario Kart, more like Smash Bros. It would also have characters like Link and stuff in it. I just hope they don't immediately throw it in the garbage bin =(

[pikaking25]

I'm with you being impatient for hg to come

honestly I was in a permanently bad mood for the rest of the day when I learned I had to wait two more days atleast for hg

[papermarioTTYD12345]

[osi1]

i totally agree with you!

[humbertobx]

how did u play heartgold and soul silver

[PrinzessinRamode]

@humbertobx, right now, I am using a flash card to play it. I just wanted to give it a quick test run before I played a real copy. Its new copy-protection measure is a 1 in 25 chance of the game checking for pirated material any time the game changes screens. I knew this before the game came out. So, I put in 40 minutes of playtime to familiarize myself with the game's language before playing it all the way through on a real game card. DO NOT download this game, pay for it like I have.

[PrinzessinRamode]

I decided to add NES sounds to the DSi menu. I think it's much better than the annoying music you are forced to hear on the menu screen. Also, why does the camera still make noises while the sound is turned off?
