DS Games on Virtual Console?

If you buy a lot of video games from Nintendo, and you're not taking part in Club Nintendo, you're wrong. The service offers a few great prizes, and goodies that aren't available anywhere else, and costs nothing more than the games you're already buying. One of the items Japanese Platinum members are lucky enough to find this year is a download for Advance Wars; Days of Ruin, which was unreleased in Japan. 

Why does this matter to us? It probably doesn't. It's just interesting that a DS game has been converted to an eShop game after it went unreleased. Could we soon see DS games added to the Virtual Console? Probably not, but it's definitely something that could have a market.

That would be neat if it were to happen here. We're still waiting on Nintendo to add GBA games to the VC, though. I think only 3DS Ambassadors have access to GBA games on the VC right now.

To be honest with you, I'm not much of a fan of the VC. It's usually not much more expensive to get the original stuff complete-in-box and that won't stop working if someone steals my 3DS.

I personally don't use the VC very much, either... but you probably already know why that is.

Huh, interesting.

Somewhat related note, I recently got the original LoZ on 3DS for free from club nintendo. Which was awesome.

Oh that's awesome. I should probably be able to get something decent, I think I'm gold level this year.

Also I somehow mis-read the title as "DOS Games on Virtual Console?"

Now that would be newsworthy!
