This also means that once a development team gets working on it we can have Mugen on the Wii just like Xmugen for the Xbox.
All we need now is Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter HD, Street Fighter IV (and MvC2) on the Wii and we're set! Come on Capcom, get your butts in gear. Even Street Fighter HD could be downloadable content with the SD card acces working now!!

This is awesome and all, but doesn't mugen run on xbox by linux? You'd have to get linux running on the wii to run mugen. I don't know, but has linux been ported to the wii?
Also, are you sure wii can run games like Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter HD, Street Fighter IV ? As far as I know, these games are HD, and pretty big. I don't think the wii can run HD games, and even if it did, wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose of HD since the wii can't put out HD graphics? :-??

I've been running Virtual Console games off my SD card for awhile now . My Wii firmware is at 3.2 , because I blocked the updates .This update is official Nintendo stuff now, it's not realted to a specific game like Twilight Princess. No more need to block those firmware updates to maintain the old "play from SD card" hacks anymore. Although I'm sure any homebrew you might have running will need to be reinstalled following this update so it's a choice you'll have to decide on.

Linux, windows, which ever environment can be emulated for the Wii, at least disk space won't be a barrier anymore. As for HD games, sure the Wii does not have the graphic capability that the PS3 or 360 do, but if Capcom can take the Street Fighter II arcade game and port it successfully to the Super Nintendo without losing the game play, then I certaintly hope to see their line of fighting games on the Wii someday.

I have custom Guitar Hero games that I downloaded or put my own songs on . That will not run on the new firmware . that's why i block the updates . Higher than 3.2 those games won't play .
u might not see that as they would most likely rather put in on the bigger systems like ps3 and 360. which is why theres a 99 percent chance it just aint gonna happen. wiis controls would actually suck for fighting games such as that. so i mean thats another reason right there.
The Classic controller would be perfect for mugen . In my opinion the classic controller is one of the best controllers ever made . It works great for tatsunoko vs capcom , Samurai Showdown Collection , KOF etc ....

Virtual Console Development (if you can call it that) is pretty cheap. Especially considering all the game is, is a ROM dump wrapped in a special file format with salting to bind the game to a specific Wii.
There isn't any reason not to distribute old games especially when there is no distribution costs.

with the twilight hack all you need is twlight princess and an emulator which you can find anyway that were made specifically for the wii and you can play all your old games that way. I was playing MK64 yesterday.....Peachy is my fav.
Wait... Princess Peach was in Mortal Kombat 64? Wow!
