Can't say i'm surprised Nintendo has done this. The Virtual Console is proving a big money spinner for them and naturally they will do all they can to protect that.

Why does the article need to be main paged on digg? I bet there will be a patch soon anyway.

There possibly will be, the Wii could possibly turn into the next PSP with people patching things that Nintendo don't want you to do (just like SONY and the PSP)

I don't think it has a name, but I think Nintendo wants things to only run through their channel. But homebrew currently runs from the GameCube side of the Wii anyway, so the simple answer at the moment is to dust off those old GameCube's

On 26th January 2007, Nintendo told 'Computer and Video Games' magazine that they had 'developed a programming system that will allow small independent developers to make games for Wii download service.' They declined to state the details of how this service would function.
