And broadband internet (unless Nintendo allows you to use slow wireless
for downloading stuff (unlike Microsoft with Live), in which case you
could buy a basestation with a modem (like Apple's Airport stations,
except the Airport Express iteration), and end up paying for a piece of

games, at least; the NES downloads would be inconsequential in terms of
time, even on dial up).
