“We’re very much thinking about it [bringing Soul Bubbles to DSiWare]. You’re absolutely right that if we were to adapt Soul Bubbles for DSiWare we would need to break it down. So the question becomes, can we revisit Soul Bubbles as a series of interesting smaller experiences while controlling the development costs so that it stays financially sound. We don’t have the answer yet but we’re trying to work that equation out…” – Olivier Lejade of Mekensleep, the developer of Soul Bubbles

I’m actually a pretty big fan of Soul Bubbles. If a DSiWare version was released, I’d be one of the first gamers to download the title.

As if it was any surprise, Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver have been registered in the US Patent and Trademark database. Both titles were added prior to the official announcement, so it’s possible that Nintendo is hoping to launch the products in North America not too long after they become available in Japan. Perhaps the company will be featuring the games at E3 this year.
