In Modern Systems

How cool would it be if you could play the downloadable 2-4 player NES, SNES, Genesis games on the Wii online against another person? That would add a whole new feature/element for downloadable games.

Also, does anyone know how the downloadable games will work? For instance...

Do you play them off of a server or do you download them?

If you download them, is their a limit to how many you can keep (i.e storage size)?

The Wii has 512MB of internal flash memory, but is supposed to support all kinds of USB mass storage deVices. So you could plug in a 500GB external hard drive if you wanted.

Of course it would be cool to play multiplayer games over the internet.
But I fear this won't happen. I guess you only can download the games as they were back then. It would need some modification to let you play multiplayer over the net and I think they won't alter their games. :/
