They certainly could do online play on the VC, but given that they don't even have RUMBLE support, much less controller pak support, SNES mouse support via the Wiimote, light gun support (if they had it they'd release lightgun games, you can bet on it), savestate support, etc, I wouldn't exactly hold my breath...
(note that none of these things require rom edits to add, just hardware emulation -- take the 'lightgun' input and translate it into Wiimote controls, just like PC SNES emulators do with mice...)
As for voice chat, given that they'd make it friends list only, it wouldn't affect Nintendo's privacy policy. That's what GR meant, I think... they do have games with voice chat on DS (Metroid Prime Hunters, for instance). It'd be just like that.
I don't really expect any of those things anytime in the forseeable future... it's possible, but unlikely.

Quote:Mind you, to do that, they need to do the whole schtick of a persistant online profile from game to game, shared friends list, invites from the OS, ability to check up that info by using the "home" menu, that whole thing.
