Technically, I'm pretty sure they could. Legally, probably not unless they paid royalties for every single Wii which has already been sold.
I don't know much about the legal part though.

Yes technically they can because the Wii just uses your typical DVD technology but has all the DVD movie play back features striped, and they did this so they wouldn't have to pay royalties.
Now, they can make a FREE DVD channel for those that are interested, that way Nintendo will only have to pay royalties for those that have downloaded it rather than the whole wii install base.

Instead of it being free they could charge those who download it like 500 wii points. That should make up for the losses when implementing dvd.

Why should they charge for it when it should have come as standard, and this time around they have no excuse considering they use the same tech as other dvd tech.
This is why I said that it should be a free channel download for those that want it, that way their is room for them to save, it's either that or just abandon the whole thing and be done with it.
