This thread reminds me of a question I always meant to ask, the Wii never officially had any kind of Game Boy virtual console, yet, the Wii release of Kirby Dream Collection played its selection of great old Kirby games via the same (though slightly modded) virtual console emulators that the Wii used for standalone VC release. Interestingly, this collection did feature 2 Game boy games in Kirby and Kirby 2, clearly with it's own official emulation means on the Wii. Was there ever any effort to isolate this bit of programming in Kirby's Dream Collection to get Nintendo's Game Boy emulator on the Wii for us to inject with whichever Game Boy games we desire?
I mean I get it, there is no real need for this at all, but it's an interesting curiosity of the system all the same.
