The DS sounds great, but Ive got bad vision, and cant play anything on one cuz the screen is so small. I was wondering if theres any way to hook the DS up to a TV and use that as a screen or something. It would be difficult though, since the DS has 2 screens, dunno how that would work. But There was a way to play GBA games on a TV using the GC, so I was wondering if there were plans for something like that for the Wii.

There are adapters which clip onto the DS and produce a picture ona TV, they are very crap though. With most only having support for the top screen, and the only one that supports both screens requires opening the DS. It is nothing worth doing though, as you still need to view the bottom screen in order to use the touch controls.

Perhaps you'll have better luck.
