Full Nintendo DS Downloads Will Not Be Available Through the Wii

Bummer. The other day I reported that Nintendo would be releasing full DS downloads through the Wii. Unfortunately, The New York Times, the source of the news, got it wrong. I guess even the NYT makes mistakes. Nintendo has since issued a correction:
An article about the Nintendo DS video game system in the Dec. 31 Business Day section of the New York Times incorrectly referred to future capabilities of the device. The statement that complete Nintendo DS games will eventually be able to be downloaded into the device via a wireless connection with the company’s Wii game console is incorrect. Users can download games to play on Wii, and, in the future, the Nintendo DS will be able to receive demo versions of some DS games from Wii, but not the entire game. The demo will be erased once the Nintendo DS is turned off.
Sucky. I was looking forward to the DS games through the Wii. So in fact we’re just going to be able to get the DS demos through the Wii, not the full games.
Sorry for the confusion.

What is the latest on Wii console supplies? Christmas was a little disappointing this year
That’s ok, Ingrid. ;) It’s the Times. While the publication may be big on regular news, don’t expect these old fogies to be as reliable as the “enthusiast” press.
