A new Nintendo DS attachment.

Don't have a Nintendo Wii yet? How about the old Famicom (NES), or is it still even working? I bet most people miss playing their old Famicom games, those classics like The Legend of Zelda, Mario Bros and the list could go on.

Now where is this getting at. Well, for those who do not have their original Famicom, or even a Nintendo Wii to download Virtual Console games, this is what you need to get (provided you live in Japan and have a Nintendo DS).

According to Kotaku.com, Japan is getting yet another attachment that we in North America, or possibly even Europe or Australia may not be getting; for the Nintendo DS. The device is known there as CYBER Familator Lite, which is used to attach to the back of the handheld.

What you do is plug it into the GBA slot, and then you can place in an old Famicom cartridge and play the games on there. There are no extra wires at all, and it comes with a TV-out port so the whole family can view what your playing on the Nintendo DS.

Sadly though, there is no information on whether or not this little device will be hitting stores outside of Japan, and only time will tell. What do you think readers?

How odd, I'm not sure that I would actually want this. Though I'm a bit confused about this device... Do you need to put the actual game cartridge inside of that device? Or does it wirelessly download the games and act just like the Wii's Virtual Console?

You actually have to place the cartridge inside the device. It's wireless because it has nothing that needs to be plugged to the t.v. unless you want to view what your playing on the bigger screen.

Re: A new Nintendo DS attachment.

I believe the NES was region free. That means that, if you import one of these, all NES games should work. The only difference, if I recall correctly, was a notch or two on NA carts that kept Japanese games from fitting into the slot.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I wonder if that thing fits on a Phat. I've never held a Lite, so I don't know if there's any difference in thickness.

It would make the DS look and feel very bulky.
