I think it was Reggie who said they release the big VC games whenever there's going to be a drought of big Wii games coming out. But sometimes they will release games to coincide with a Wii or DS game coming out. I wouldn't be surprised if they released some Mario game around the time Super Mario Galaxy comes out for instance. Super Mario Kart around the same time as the Wii Mario Kart, etc.
And you must be ignorant but they never have "revamped" a gameboy for more power. There was the original Gameboy, big and bulky. So they decided to make the Gameboy Pocket. Then after that, they made the gameboy color. Still no more power than before. Next game the Gameboy Advance, a compleltly NEW system with upgrades. Then they made the SP with a better design and a lighted screen, nope don't see anymore power here. Then they made the DS with a similar design to the SP, just bigger with two screens. They wanted a slimmer and better design so now we have the DS lite. Not one of these gameboys has ever acquired more "power" than it's previous one. They made a new, seperate system with upgrades, just like they did with consoles.

You're almost right. Game Boy Color may not have had more power, but there was enough difference that you could not play Game Boy Color games on a regular Game Boy, thus requiring regular Game Boy owners who wanted to play new Game Boy Color games to buy a Game Boy.
The DS came out and shortly after, here comes the DS-lite. It looks cooler yeah, but I own a DS regular and I would never trade it in for a lite, simply because it's the same system, just smaller and cooler looking. And you use an "oh so fine"(sarcasm) example there too. You talk about Nintendo revamping the Wii with more horse power so that their games would look nicer, but yet you mention the PS2 Slim. Anyone that owns a normal PS2, NEVER need to buy a slim. The Slim just looks cooler and is more compact and includes a built in LAN connector.

The DS Lite is more than just a smaller and cooler looking DS. It has brighter screens, has a longer battery life, has a faster charging battery, has a bigger and more comfortable stylus, and has a better placed microphone. As for the slim PS2, the LAN connector was enough reason for me to get one. And don't forget that they changed from the automatic drive tray to the top loading snap in method of loading games. And that helps keep those disc read errors from happning.
