Sega announced that a Wi-Fi enabled Virtual Console version of the puzzle game Puyo Puyo will be released in Japan for the service this spring. The 1992 arcade version will be released for the download service and will support competitive multiplayer over Wi-Fi, enabling one-on-one matches. The title will be priced at 800 Wii Points.
Andriasang.com's translation of the Inside Games article notes that it is the first Virtual Console title to be released with Wi-Fi support.
I thought there were emulators on PC that allowed NES and NES games to go online too.There are. As far as I can tell, they work by transferring the controller presses of the second player to the host, so the game will interpret it as if a second player were playing on the console. It isn't a very stable method, and split-screen games become de-synced too easily, so it isn't good enough for a commercial product.
I still don't know what Puyo Puyo is. Is it the Japanese name for the Bust-A-Move series?Puyo Puyo is Puyo Pop. It's been called that for a while, but other localizations include Kirby's Avalanche and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

There was even bridge software that even made SSBM playable online.

No, they are different series. The Puyo Puyo games are from Sega (originally Compile) and have been released her under names like Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine and Kirby's Avalanche (although some more recent entries have used the Japanese name). It involves moving pairs of colored blobs that drop down into groups of 4. The Bust-a-Move series (also called Puzzle Bobble) is from Square Enix (originally Taito) involves shooting colored bubbles up to a group of bubbles on the top of the screen to eliminate them.

No, they are two different series. Puyo Puyo--also known as Puyo Pop--has been released before as licensed games such as Kirby's Avalanche on SNES and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine on Genesis. Both are available on Virtual Console for 800 points each.
