Rumor: Virtual Console / WiiWare Channel features coming to DS?

EDGE magazine has an interesting rumor lurking inside its pages. Apparently, Nintendo is hard at work on an official DS flash card, which would allow DS owners with internet access via Wi-Fi to purchase old-school Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, in a fashion very similar to the Wii’s Virtual Console. Not only that, but Nintendo’s upcoming WiiWare Channel, which will allow developers to produce low-budget, downloadable games, would see a similar revision on the DS. Such a possibility could seriously stir the DS homebrew scene. Potentially great hombrewed games could see commercial release, and other content could be made available for the 50 million DS systems around the globe. These rumors sound great, but they are rumors nonetheless, so keep your eyes peeled for an official confirmation / denial in the not-too-distant future.
