Scratch+Nintendo=Awesomeness
I thought of an Idea the other day. What if the Scratch Team teamed up with Nintendo and made Scratch DS? You top screen is where you see your game, and the bottom you drag blocks around and click them together. click presentation mode to have the game playable. Any block related to a mouse could be changes to a stylus, and a quick tap with the stylus is like a click of a mouse. You could save up to 5 scratch games onto one cartridge, and you could buy a beginners set with multiple cartridges for games. Then it comes with a USB cable so you can import games to and from your computer! Like my idea? Please let me know, Scratch Team.

Re: Scratch+Nintendo=Awesomeness
But then you would have to buy it and scratch is supposed to be free. No to mention that they would have to recode the entire thing.
Hi, I am Archmage coder extraordinaire. I do Scratch,pascal,java,php,html, AS2 and AS3. Leave me a message if you want coding advice. Also check out my personal website, lots of good stuff about web development, Flash, and Scratch (v1 and v2) !

DSi could fix that:
Download: Free
Included browser: Share projects & find sprites/sounds/etc. on Internet
Flash memory: Save sprites/sounds/projects/etc.
So I think that could actually work with the DSi very, very well!

I don't think that would go over well with nintendo because of the lack of profits.

I don't think Nintendo actually pays for it (and when a third-party game is sold, does Nintendo get royalties or something? I'm inclined to think on the contrary.), and "free" is already a suggested price for DSiWare items. Now go to the iTunes app store and you tell me how unsuccessful free software is.

Well it may be possible like the cell phone version of scratch.

But I don't think the ds could support the editor.

Re: Scratch+Nintendo=Awesomeness
dream on here people 
as much as i wanted it it's not gonna happen you got all the issues archmage said AND one more. Size. If you mention nintendo to anyway they would know what you were talking about. if you mentioned scratch they wouldn't. Still possible but it's like 1/1000 chance.

I don't think Nintendo actually makes anything for developers - they just approve. Oh yes, and generally game designers know what programming is. The only issue I can think of would be Nintendo saying "We like this idea but in a decade (if people buy this), more people will know how to program and we'll have more competition".
