Wii Gets Full Downloadable DS Games

We have all known for awhile now that the Wii was getting downloadable DS demos, and this service is even live in Japan, but we had no idea that Nintendo was planning to sell full versions of DS games via the Virtual Console. Deep within a new New York Times interview is the interesting and revealing tidbit.

“Mr. Fils-Aime 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.”

Some other cool bits from the articles include:

“A puzzle-solving game, Professor Layton, to be introduced next year, will be upgraded with new puzzles transmitted to the DS through a wireless download.”

“In Japan, the DS’s functionality extends beyond its game-playing ability. There the device is used to give information during museum tours, and to download content from the Wii.”
