Uh oh, things are looking grim for Nintendo; CVG is reporting that hackers have found a security hole in the Flash Player of the Wii Browser, opening up the console to run unsigned code. Of course everyone says they want to run homebrew apps on it, but you know what is really going to happen; people will have entire NES, SNES, and Genesis libraries loaded onto SD cards, to play them all on homebrew emulators running on the Wii. If/when that happens, Virtual Console is going to take a big hit.
Nintendo has a pretty aggressive stance against this sort of thing, so expect this to be patched up immediately.
