During Nintendo’s investor briefing today Satoru Iwata detailed four steps they would take to get the Wii U more exposure and hopefully more sales (more on that soon). The fourth point on that list was bringing Nintendo DS games to the Wii U Virtual Console.

Iwata told investors and the media that they had recently overcome technical hurdles that had been stopping them from bringing the  titles to Virtual Console. Nintendo will draw on the rich library of the Nintendo DS  and boost the Virtual Console library. Brain Training was shown on a slide at the event being played solely on the Wii U GamePad. That game plays in ‘portrait’ or ‘book’ mode however.

It is possible they’ll be coming to the Nintendo 3DS as well, which would make sense… But only the Wii U GamePad was mentioned.
