Classics onine?

I was thinking today that so many companies are missing opportunities to upgrade classic games with online capabilities. It seems like the DS would be the perfect platform for companies to upgrade classics and add online capabilities. If they then offered them at bargain prices like $25 it would be a cheap way to make a quick buck. Some games that jump to mind include Tecmo Super Bowl, Ken Griffey Baseball (the original), and some of the coop greats like Smash TV and Double Dragon. Also what stops sports games from getting around the licensing problem by allowing team names and players to be editable. With the ability to trade files easily online it would take a day for the real player name files to surface.

Nintendo missed out by not having the Wii's VC emulator support internet play. Just have a lobby or something that people can synch up with each other and go.

Gametap offers online play of classic games. It'd be nice to see on the Wii though.
