Nintendo DSi Virtual Console - confirmed?

As I was scouring about the interwebs today, I noticed a strange piece of news.  As some may know, Nintendo of America has now implemented the Club Nintendo customer loyalty programme into their website.  Previously, this was only available in Japan and Europe, but now by registering certain games on the website, you can buy special gifts.  It seems that (in contrast to Europe's system) there are several types of membership.  It seems that early this morning (UTC time), Nintendo held an event for certain Club Nintendo members to preview the upcoming Nintendo DSi.  One interesting thing to come from it is this:

Kombo.com:
"Unless I missed it previously, then the big piece of good news to surface from this event is that downloadable Game Boy and Game Boy Advance titles are coming. [...] To start with, however, there will only be first-party Nintendo titles."

There has been speculation about a system similar to the Wii's Virtual Console that would allow users to download games from previous systems to the Nintendo DSi. So far, this hasn't been confirmed, but it's a nice thought and hopefully this really will become a reality.
