You know there are people who use homebrew that don't pirate. In fact the Wii homebrew community has a pretty clear line of division between those who are trying to enable piracy and those who are not.

I know logically Nintendo has to throw the baby out with the bathwater when they do these updates. Cutting off moral homebrewers and pirates simultaneously, However people should not assume that someone is not buying WiiWare or Virtual Console games or even retail games just because someone uses BootMii/Homebrew Channel.

In response to Zombie Jesus...

If you can't find high quality DS homebrew its because you are not looking.

Just a few Amazing Ds Homebrew not found on other hand helds off the top of my head :

Colors!
LoneWolf DS Book 1 and 2.. ( 3 in developement )
Mario Paint Composer
Still Alive DS
Pocket Physics

All of these are arguably commercial quality and not available elsewhere.

I think this is obviously for games which will require a lot of bandwidth between clients and servers. OR thirdy party games which dont want to abide by Nintendo's WFC rules...

Obviously useful for anything massive multiplayer. Which I would honestly love to see on the Wii.

I doubt it means the end of existing free games with small numbers of peers, like many people seem to be fearing. Existing Wii games seem largely peer to peer, and pay-to-play seems to be for a service that would require more wieght on the server end.

In either case I think this opens up MMORPGs on the DS. Which is something ive been dying to see.

The probability of winning these things is always so low, I dont know why I bother to enter them, even with the entry rate as low as it is (a single comment).

.. er.. pick me.. over all these other more worthy contestants who probably post more often than me...

please ?

I would do just about anything for a localized Read Or Die game on the Wii, including murder.

Sadly it most likely will never happen.

We need the Evangelion game from the N64 on virtual console!!

Whatever happened to that new Sailor Moon game that was rumored a while back for the Wii ?

@13 ConstyXIV:

Still extra coding = Extra money. Especially as you would need a custom emulators for every game. Couldn't imagine it with how many complaints there have been over current virtual console pricing.

@15 JC Fletcher:

Speculation about the possible is fun.

Speculation about the improbable week after week after week is boring.

I think people need to realize that Virtual Console games are emulated roms. And that altering the source code to these roms would require paying more programmers. Meaning increased cost to us.

Not only that but in many cases the original source code is likely lost. Also in some cases the rights to the source code may be in legal limbo.

And even then each individual game would need to be altered. Or at a minimum it's emulator would have to be redesigned custom for every game.

In short its not going to happen for classic virtual console games.

I expect it will happen for ORIGINAL downloadable titles though.

Does anyone notice that ALL of these screenshots look ALOT like levels we have played before ? Is this a sequel or a compilation ?
