Full DS game downloads coming to Wii network

Qais Fulton on DS

Full DS game downloads coming to Wii network screenshot

Everyone remember about a month ago when Nintendo announced their "Everyone's Nintendo Channel"? It featured videos, interviews, and -- seemingly most importantly -- DS demos for wireless download. Yeah? Fantastic. Most people, on hearing about "Everyone's Nintendo Channel" remarked that it was a fairly neat idea, and that it had potential, that being of full DS title downloads.

Those keen eyed oracles of inevitable development are soon to be rewarded with a round of watercooler gloatery, thanks to Reggie Fils-Aime. The New York Times reports the Nintendo exec of stating full DS title download via the Wii is soon to come and further makes mention of a "new DS device" saying specifically, "Mr. Fils-Amie said that future DS device will be more tightly integrated with its Wii console. Complete games as well as game samplers will be able to be downloaded into the Wii using its broadband connection, and then transferred wirelessly to the DS."

Not only will full titles be available for download, but puzzle expansions for titles such as Professor Layton and the Curious Village will also be made available, along with (I'm sure) additional content expansions for other upcoming games. The expansion and progression of interactivity between the Wii and DS is likely to continue the domination the DS has been enjoying as top selling hand held. Now if only we could get better titles for the thing, I might be able to use it as something other than a portable Geometry Wars player.
