Would a “Sega Channel” work on the Wii?

I’m sure many of us here can agree that Sega has a great selection of games on the Wii’s Virtual Console, I believe they have released the most games on the download service. But would some of you say to having a special “Sega Channel” for the Wii?
According to Sephen Munn, over at Aeropause, it is a much needed addition to the download service. But before you all start with your “Yays” and “Nays” over the matter, let me explain Mr. Munn’s concept.
The idea is not to be like the Sega Channel of yesteryear - which acted much like the Virtual Console - allowing gamers to download a choice of up to 50 Genesis games (which was updated monthly), for a monthly fee.Â
Instead, Stephen, is suggesting that Sega create a channel which will have Saturn and Dreamcast emulators. Rather than downloading games, Wii owners will download the software, enabling them to play Saturn and Dreamcast games off the original discs.
Quite frankly, I love the concept. However, there are certainly some pretty big flaws in the idea.
