I am really disappointed in the DSi so far. Not in the hardware, as I think it feels great to play and is a nice upgrade from the DS lite, but from the two points you mentioned. There is no reason why Nintendo shouldn't bring out a VC for the DSi. I remember a reason they gave was that they only want software on the DSi that can take advantage of its specific capabilities (dual screens, touch screens, camera, mic, etc) and no old GB games would be able to do that. But that is just a lame reason. And the DSiWare store is pretty sad too. There are barely any apps in it and while a couple may be worth checking out, I'd rather hold on to my 1,000 points hoping they'll put out something good soon. Whether Nintendo admits it or not they are competing with Apple's App store with DSiWare and they are doing a terrible job at it right now.

the only game they got so far that's like a VC game, is Dr Mario Express, and that's really it. I've only spent 1500 points so far, it was on that, and the two art games (Aquia and Pictobits)

I wont get a DSi unless they have a "Virtual Portable Console" and since my opinion is the only one that matters, Nintendo better get their act together.

If that were to be the case, Jeff would let me borrow his DSi.

wtf are you talking about, that just proves how much of a Golden Sun fan I am, despite the odds stacked against me I will find a way to play the game.

But not a permanent solution cause you're not dedicated enough.

Fine, I'll permanently steal a DSi from a 5 year old, either way Nintendo isn't getting me to pay for a DSi without a Portable Virtual Console.
