ColecoVision for the Wii?? Can this be happening?

http://gbatemp.net/?act=ST&f=116&t=133202

I loved ColecoVision, and was heartbroken when the system finally broke down, and it was out of business so it couldn't be repaired. Now I'm hearing that the Wii might have a way of playing ColecoVision games on the Wii System?? How awesome would that be??

Frankly, I thought then, and think even today, that ColecoVision was ahead of the field in graphics and fun.

ColecoVision had a controller with a numeric keypad and overlays for custom configurations. I suspect a lot of games simply won't translate.

Can't the Wii make it so that the ColecoVision can be downloaded into it much like NetFlix?

Seems like it would be simpler just to bring those games into the existing WiiWare interface?

Don't know what that is, but I agree with you. If that "thing" link I posted is a pirate thing, I apologize. But I would love to see ColecoVision games on the Wii as something you can get with Wii-Points. That's all I want.
