If you like paying for Flash games that may or may not use IR functionality, then sure. WiiWare > Virtual Console.
I can very easily see that only after a month that the service is up, WiiWare will be flooded with Ninjabreadman 2, Luxor 3, Extreme Solitaire, some Bowling game, and whatever Data Design Interactive and Midway can crap out in the fastest and cost-efficient way.
