The problem with emulator software (which is what the wii uses to play these games), is that they require space. The roms (games), also require space, now catridge games require a few MB tops for each game, so thats no problem.

As for disc's (aka dreamcast etc), jump from a few MB up to over 2-300 MB, and the wii simply wouldn't be able to hold that amount of data , and if you downloaded 10 games thats 2GB bandwidth, would kill of someone who has a monthly cap.
If they were compressed properly, you could easily get a dreamcast game under 50mb's. I've err got , I mean heard of Playstation games such as Tekken 3 under 50MBS. It's all about the manner in which they are packed. I think the wii could handle some of the games.
