Here is a Nintendo Story That Doesn’t Sound Like an Obituary – DS Games on Wii U Virtual Console

The last couple of years have been rough for Nintendo. The slow start for the 3DS has made way for some positive news. But, that news has fallen on largely deaf ears as a result of the Wii U’s pitiful sales numbers. But, there is good news out of the Nintendo camp today that should make every Wii U owner happy.

At some time in the relatively near future, the Wii U is going to add Nintendo DS games to the Wii U Virtual Console. Details are scant. But, as evidenced in the photos released by Nintendo, it appears that the games will be playable in single-screen gamepad mode or through the traditional Wii U two-screen mode.

We will be sure to keep you posted on these developments as they surface. Until then, what do you think? Will you buy any DS games through the Wii U Virtual Console? If so, what games would make sense? I am personally hopeful for Elite Beat Agents!
