The
news that Nintendo will be releasing a remade
Dr. Mario with online play is, to put it in one capitalized word and a bunch of random key presses, KJDFLIOUROIEJ(RJNFAWESOME. The updated graphics and Mii integration look okay, but the real deal is the ONLINE PLAY_# #$())_IJM sorry, we did it again.
This adds a new dimension to our
Thursday evening pastime of wishing for old games on the VC. Now we can wish for
online versions of old games on Wii Ware. What would be your choice for an old game with new multiplayer? And, for added difficulty, you can't say
River City Ransom, because we
just did.

You guys should also run a bit asking us which XBLA stuff we want to see ported to WiiWare. (pssst... Wing Commander Arena--16 player)

Super Smash Bros N64! (online)
That would be a huge file, but it'd be a great way to get fans excited.
I doubt it will happen, but perhaps there's a chance?

Every Nintendo game that includes multi.
A good option: Donkey Kong Country, Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart 64, F-Zero, Mario Tennis...
Also Goldeneye or Mortal Kombat II...
And much more!

If not for all the complications regarding licensing and the whole Rare-Microsoft thing...GoldenEye, duh.
I'd also love to see Capcom bring over that improved Super Puzzle Fighter (minus the HD of course) to WiiWare.
Lacking a headset though, I think some coop games wouldn't work out too well. River City Ransom would get real annoying if you want to backtrack to a store and purchase a technique with newly acquired loot while your buddy just wants to plow forward and make dudes BARF. Games like Bubble Bobble, Jackal, or even Toejam & Earl would all still be cool without a headset.

I hope that they make real full-fledged games on wiiware and not just small casual games. this could be very big or a complete failure.

Pacman with that 5 player ghost-player doohickey mode.
And in that same mold..
Dig Dig with multiplayer flamethrowing dragons!
Frogger with insane multiplayer frog chasing cars!
Space Invaders with deadly multiplayer UFOs!
Asteroids with rocks that can be slowly but surely guided towards you! In multiplayer!!
... You get the idea.

Online Sensible World Of Soccer would be fantastic weather it be online one on one or an online career mode. You could virtually play it with one hand on the Wii-mote!

I don't get what's so good about Dr. Mario. Isn't it just another Tetris-like game?

Wii Sports!
Seriously, who doesn't want to be able to play that game without popping in the disc and also playing tennis against my friends on the other side of the city would be awesome.

No, Dr. Mario is closer to a Puyo Puyo clone, than Tetris. If you don't know, there are people who loose their mind for the puyo, or mean bean machine, or the Dr. Mario. To say that Dr. Mario has a cult following would be an understatement.
Ninty could totally release a Wii Sports: Online disc or download, and I would buy it. Actually, yeah, take wii sports tennis, make Mario the Ref, add online matches, and you got yourself a wiware million seller.
