“We’ve been asked about that quite a bit and it seems like a popular topic. At this point, I have not heard any plans about converting Game Boy games and putting them on the DSi.” – David Young, Associate Public Relations Manager at Nintendo

Nintendo may be unwilling to discuss bringing Game Boy games to the DSi right now, but it seems like something that is inevitable to happen. Adding such titles to the DSi Shop would certainly be a smart business move for Nintendo and fans would be more than appreciative with the retro titles as well.
