1000 Free DSi Points? What are you talking about, Madaracs? Well it’s recently been rumored that the next generation DS: the DSi, will have its own Virtual Store. The folks over at kombo.com recently reported back from a conference in which the following was rumored to be true:

…the big piece of good news to surface from this event is that downloadable Game Boy and Game Boy Advance titles are coming. I’ll just let that soak in for a minute. Finally, we may have a shot at playing some portable classics again, and without the hassle of gambling with eBay’s counterfeits or peeling stickers off of GameStop’s cartridges…

If this does come true it would make sense why they completely removed backward compatibility with the GBA carts. This could also be bad news for those who have a large collection of GBA carts. All of this is not set in stone though. If you read to the bottom of the article you’ll see that Nintendo did respond saying that much of what Kombo reported may not be entirely accurate for North America.
