Playing DS game on Wii

Do you think Nintendo should make a "game" or disc that allows you to play DS games on Wii. Similar to how you could play GBA games on GC, except better because you wouldnt need a to attach the DS to Wii like how u had to do with the GBA.

I would like it if they did make that. I would love to play like Mario & Luigi: Bowsers Inside Story, Pokemon Platinum, andNew Super Mario Bros on my Wii.

As far as a controller you would just use the DS as one.

I know this may seem more Wii related but it also has to do with the DS so I posted it here as well.

Who is with me?

Seems like a good idea. I used to love playing my GBA games on my GC back in the day.

omg so good idea,

now is the right time to do it, before soul silver comes out! :P

and how would the TOUCH SCREEN work and don't say the IR pointer because its to slow

impossible. even with wii speak, not all DS functions would be represented in a single TV. not to mention splitting the TV in 2 to simulate 2 screens is lame. not to mention you wanna stick your DS card inside the wii. either that or use the DS as a controller. whats the point in playing the DS on the wii using a DS to do it? most wii owners own a DS as well so why would you want it?BrunoBRS

I'm not saying I like it either. Touch Screen + TV = WUTTT (though a touch screen TV sounds delicious)

And I don't see the whole point of it. Pixels will be madly strentched and it wouldn't be worth the effort.

And everybody owns a DS and a Wii. Srsly. I've never been to a house that doesn't have both.

Ummm, I played Advance games on my Wii and NEVER needed to hook my GBA up to my Gamecube. I bought the add-on to the Gamecube. Didn't even realize you could simply hook up your GBA to your GCGCwasthebestsys

What? I never heard of this? How is it possible? Please, do tell.

I really should have thought about this before posting it. I wasnt thinking of the touch screen and mic at the time.

the real problem is: what's the point of using your DS to play the DS on the wii? waste electricity?BrunoBRS

That was just an EXAMPLE or IDEA not how it would really turn out.

The same as the point with the GameBoy Player: Better sound, bigger screen, more comfortable playing position. And the DS player would be entirely possible: WLAN conenction to DS, depictions of the two DS screens on the TV, with a dot on the lower one to indicate the location of the stylus. Also handily solves the problem of your hand obscuring the lower screen in games like Zelda.

How about just something that plugs into your TV so you can look at your TV while playing DS games instead of the actualy screen on your DS...

^Guy above me took some of the words out of my mouth.

People are quite dismissive at the possibilties of playing DS on your TV. Those barriers can be worked around, for example.. When you buy the expansion that allows you to play DS games through your Wii, you could use a DSto link to your Wii so you could use the DS's touchscreen, and it comes up on the bottom half of the TV(the TV could be split into two, top half and bottom half). So you would be looking at the TV for both screens, but simply touching the DStouchscreen pad.

OR, similarly,theDS/Wii expansion package could come with a touchpad and pen that hooks up to yourWii, so you don't even need a DS to play it.

Anyway, I don't think they would do this, as DS's are selling like hot cakes. So introducing this would just decrease those sales.

Pretty much. I wasnt really thinking of the touch screen and dual screens, I was thinking about playing Pokemon Platinum and Mario and Luigi on Wii. :P

It can't be done. The IR pointer is not and will never be as accurate as the touch screen.Rocky32189

This. Also, it would be a waste of money, power, and time (For Nintendo).

Won't work, some of the games require the DS itself to work. Example the Phantom Hourglass, a part of a clue you had to close the DS to get a piece of the map location. And then there's the stylus, though it's possible to use the Wii Mote mobility, but I'm not for sure. But still yet, Nintendo would have more better luck with coming out with connections that connects the DS to the TV/Wii instead.

True with the Phantom Hourglass point, But the DSi also excluded games like GTA World Tour. And the GBA Player excluded some minimal things too. So if they did do a DS Player, it would only exclude a few games. Most games only require the basic stylus type of play, and those problems can be worked around, as stated in my earlier post.

Actually that problem could be worked around too, because you could incorporate a button that puts it into standby mode. I'm sure many problems a DS Player faces could be dealt with.
