yes it is overrated.

and also, gba games ARE technically downloadable.

there's the emulators and vba and such.

of course it's sometimes laggy, an harder to play on the comp than with your handheld in real life.

in any case, when they will become downloadable, it will probably be a while from now. we like to keep our options for playing the gba for when we want to go back to play it sometime.

I've really been hoping that they do the virtual console on the DSi. So far Nintendo has said that they have no foreseeable plans on doing it but I'm hoping they do it !!! I think it might help sell some people on the DSi.
