If you go online and play starcraft for instance, you walk into a room and they are playing a map you don't have, you can't start the game until you download that map onto your computer. Your wii has to know what's going on, it can't just have some character doing stuff, and interacting with your character if your wii doesn't even know what that pile of code is. |
Of course, levels wouldn't work. But character code could be sent prior to game start. As I mentioned that might slow the process down, depends on how much coding goes into a single character, clones would be fairly simple, just a new skin and changes to existing values, but a character like Pokemon Trainer would obviously be a lot of code.
Alternatively, the characters and even levels could already be on the disk and you're just paying to unlock them, but that would seem like a slimy money grab and I can't see Nintendo doing that. MS maybe.
