There will initially be nine games from the Game & Watch series that will be released in the next two months. Each game will be priced at 200 DSi Points ($2).
Below is the release schedule for the Game & Watch titles in Japan:
July 15 - Ball, Flagman, Judge, Vermin
July 29 - Helmet, Chef
August - Donkey Kong Jr., Mario's Cement Factory, Manhole
So the DS collection is sort of pointless and value will drop like a rock soon.
I just hope all these recent announcements point more and more to the confirmation for the DSi virtual console.They could call it the Virtual Game Boy. A lot of their Game Boy games have never been re-released so it could very well be a hit.
But hopefully you would be able to transfer anything SNES generation or earlier over to your DSi to play on the go too.
Is a DSi powerful enough to emulate an N64?

Now you have me intrigued. I think the DSi can easily emulate NES and SNES games, but it depends on what type of coding an N64 games. Remember, we didn't get Majora's Mask till much later since it was apparently too big for the service.
I think that would only make the VC sales soar if Nintendo brought them to the DSi, so it probably makes too much sense for it to actually happen.
As has been pointed out I also don't expect NES and SNES games any time soon for the DSi, but GameBoy series titles should be more possible. I really want to try games like Metroid 2 or Link's awakening, but at this point there doesn't seem to be an easy (and legal) way to do it.
Of course, game & watch games are a start.
