Sega Saturn would be NEAT, but is not possible. The games are so big that cant fit even the "storage solution"
Atari games is a pretty funny prediction. But they cant charge more than 10 points for it! The games are less than 3kb each, and i guess the rights from the atari games are already public domain...

Saturn games which fit on a CD (~0.7GiB) can't fit on a 16 GiB SD card? Yeah.... I don't really expect Saturn games to get released on the VC, but it could be done.
Can't really say what I'm expecting... However, I am expecting to not be disappointed after seeing the conference.
Wii Remote with MotionPlus built-in!!! this plus Donkey Kong (ign podcast) plus Zelda, Mario something. Kid Icarus please and Cosmic Walker
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

No, it cant.
The Wii Sd card support for channels and games work in a way that every virtual console game/channel/whatever you try to load has to be loaded to the Wii internal memory (512mb) to launch
You know, when you try to play Super Mario 3 from your SD card, and it has a "loading" screen before the channel logo pops up? Yep, that´s the Wii transfering your game from the SD card to the internal memory.
In conclusion: if you dont have enough space inside the wii, you cant load a game from the SD card.
And that´s why you cant have saturn games on virtual console.
UNLESS they compress the games.

I was hoping my short comments would be enough but sadly it seems I have to go into detail why you are wrong. First off, compression is an easy and workable idea. This could drop a lot of games dramtically in size and make it run. Secondly, having a ptch to run Saturn games straight off the SD card wouldn't even require much work.
Finally, and most importantly not all Saturn games use the entire space. Shining Force 3 took up a whole 235 megs wich can fit onto the Wii's internal memory. I am too lazy to look up specifics for more Saturn games specifically, but Sega coninuted not using all its space with the Dreamcast. Ikaruga used 40 megs. Most Dreamcast games could fit on a standard CD-Rom despite GD-roms having more space.

Yeah, like i said:
"UNLESS they compress the games."
I dont know if you catch it the first time, so im gonna post the phrase again for your better viewing, ok?
UNLESS they compress the games.
UNLESS they compress the games.
UNLESS they compress the games.
A lot of Saturn and PS1 games were only on CD because modern compression techniques did not exist. We're talking of totally uncompressed audio and video to flesh out the 700 MB.
