Nintendo on Friday revealed that it is planning to add an update to its Wii Channel system which, when finished, will enable gamers to gift software to anybody on their system's friends list. The service will work hand-in-hand with the Wii Shop Channel. Wii owners who connect online will very simply be able to choose a Virtual Console or Wii Ware title, select an option to send it to a friend, and when their buddy accepts the offer, it will immediately launch them into the Wii Shop Channel where a download of the gifted game will commence.
"We think this will be a breakthrough in encouraging customers to spread news of fun games word of mouth," Iwata said. "We also hope to spur more users to connect their Wiis to the Internet."

sounds awesome.
I'm 99% sure it won't happen but it'd be ace if you could send already purchased games to other people, but Nintendo would fear people selling them on/giving them away for free meaning less sales.
Still this is ace news. wonder if it works worldwide doubt it as of the different versions of many games
