In a recent interview with Game Informer, Hudson Entertainment's marketing director, John Lee, shot down the idea of the Virtual Console ever releasing new, previously released titles for the Wii. But then he added:

However, in the future, you should rephrase that question to: Are there any plans to launch original content on some downloadable service on the Wii, and you might get a different answer.

This is fantastic news, as Nintendo will surely hold developers to the same high standards that have made Xbox Live Arcade titles so buying-a-360 worthy. So is everyone copying Microsoft, or is small developer content just the natural evolution of networked consoles? Mark Wilson
