When asked if Hudson plans to release any original content through the Virtual Console, Lee responded: "Well, the VC was specifically designed to bring back forbidden content. So to answer your question specifically: No. "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."Nintendo has developed a programming system that will allow small independent developers to make games for Wii download service. "We cannot confirm at this time in what format the new content will be delivered, but in the future there will be original games available for download through the Wii Shop."For those of you who don't know, Nintendo president, Satoru Iwata spoke of such a development tool at various games events last year, allowing low-cost game production for Wii. Anyone who got hooked on Geometry Wars on 360 knows how exciting this prospect is.

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=156286 Once upon a time the Wii was designed to be a system where people could use Design kits to make their own games. Then it kind of lost that focus.
how has it lost it and its being planned now?John_Cornman
No, I mean, not for the VC, but for people in general to be able to rip their own games and play them on the Wii. The Kits cost like 2,000 dollars Though, and you have to buy them direct from Nintendo, good luck with that.
