It's always nice to be able to expand the uses of hardware in ways the developers never intended.

The Wii-equivalent of 'Mount and Blade' would utterly, utterly rock (M&B is a simple down-to-earth fighting game RPG'ish which gets simple fight-dynamics sooo right)
Emulators for DS (Score:5, Interesting)
The DS benefits because it can also run homebrew that was developed for the GBA, and consoles from the NES and earlier are emulated well. The SNES and Genesis emulators are just in their infancy, however.
Besides the emuilators, there are a lot of good homebrew games and applications, including most of the usual favorites from linux distributions. Congratulations to the coders of the DS homebrew scene for making such progress on a unique system!

in the realm of home console, DreamCast is the only thing that let your run whatever you like.
That's good for gaming in front of a TV. But which handheld system sold in brick-and-mortar retailers in the United States is the same way?
