Tantalising on the block this morning has it that the handheld could be on the brink of getting its very own miniature Virtual Console, offering downloadable Game Boy and GBA titles for the new device.

Released in late last year, the system is set to hit the and next month, with Kombo reporting word on the rumoured 'Virtual Console' from a North American press event.

Only first-party titles will be offered via the platform initially, with games saved to the SD card media included in the handheld.

DSi is out in Europe and the US next week.
