What would be really great with the Wii and a DS

What would be truly amazing was if there was some way to get whatever games you get for the virtual console in the Wii / Revolution and could play them in your DS.
I think the port of Mario 64 to DS shows the DS hardware can handle even the most recent stuff that the virtual console will be offering (i.e N64 games).
I guess what is lacking and you would need is some way to store the relatively large games for the DS to read, and some way to transfer it... And I guess Nintendo would be wary of having any writable or re-writable "carts" go into DSs officially, as they are bound to be usable for other means.
As for an incentive for them to make this possible, I think the added sales of both DS and Revolution AND the vintage games should be enough... But who knows how many would be interested in old games on the go.
