It is inevitable that at some point the Wii will be replaced with another Nintendo gem. That will probably have HD graphics as the cost for such will have been dramatically reduced and HDtv's will be mainstream.

So, back to my question, how do you all think they would handle the VC?

Tough question.

Maybe they integrate an option in the shop of their new console to enter your Wii LAN number (which is found in the system's settings > Internet > console information, that's not the same as your Wii code). Once you've entered this number you have access to download the games you had on your Wii for free. It shouldn't be that hard for Nintendo to make it in a way that each Wii LAN number can only be verified on one single of their new console.

That's just a wild guess though.

If they take that route, you may have to go through some form of "un-install" process. They won't give you a 2nd copy of your VC titles for free (i.e. old console & new console).

I doubt they will even do that. Not sure really - once you can start transfering VC titles, all sorts of things can happen.

Look at what the Elite does...
