I know Nintendo released (or at least were planning on releasing) an accessory for the Gamecube which allowed people to play GBA games on the 'cube (see link).

Does anyone know of a way to do this with the Wii? My girlfriend has been pestering me ever since we got the Wii that she wants to play SMB3.... and I keep telling her that I have the cartridge for GBA - but she complains that the screen is too small and she'd much rather play it on the TV with a "real" controller. If I could just hook it up to the Wii - maybe an SD-to-cartridge adapter of some sort? - it would be awesome.

Have any of you heard about anything along those lines?

The Game Boy Player was released for the GameCube a few years ago. However, it's not compatible with the Wii, since the Wii lacks the necessary expansions ports. I don't think there's any way to play a GBA game from the cartridge on a Wii right now.

there are a ton of emulators with freeloader and the SD card adapter that you can use.

There are also third party GBA adapters around that work with by pluging an adapter into the memory card slot.

Won't this eventually be available for Download too onto the Wii?

Not until Nintendo thinks they've milked enough money out of people buying the GBA port.
