I mean like Xbox live arcade features. Sorry for the generality, and for messing up the option "NO". Kind of new at this.

Well one things for sure, if they did do it, they wouldn't charge
But they probably never will do it

I think the online hands would be slightly more expensive since they have to do some extra work on them. Hopefully not too much though, maybe 800 points for a NES game instead of 500 he they enhance them with online functionallity.

I can take that cost though, would be really nice to play fighting hands over the internet. Don't know he I would like co-op games online though since that would really require a microphone like no the 360 to function well.

Nintendo have said it will never happen as they are releasing the games as they were originally created.

As neat as it would be, it won't happen. These games are supposed to be in their original form, no matter what. Hell, even the NES "Vertical lines" were left in, and that's a fault. If they won't repair games, what makes you think they'll add to them?

For the Virtual Console, yes.
But that doesn't mean you won't see a "Remixed Console" where you can go to a new part of the Wii Shop and buy a version of Super Mario Kart and has online multi and leaderboards.
I'm not saying it will definately happen (we are talking about Nintendo here, "wasted opportunity" is the phrase that suits them the most) but you're thinking of the Virtual Console in the wrong way.
The VC is for games as they were - they'll be more parts to the Wii Shop in the future other than VC and Software.
