No, you wouldn't have to, really. Remember Xband? No modifications to game software needed. All you would need to do is replace the controller inputs that normally come in through the second (or third or fourth) controller with the ones that come in from the internet.
In fact, this is how a lot of head-to-head Xbox Live games work. The console is "tricked" into thinking the controller inputs from the one you're playing are coming from another controller port on your Xbox. Desyncing occurs when the controller inputs aren't matched fast enough, and then the two different games on each system aren't doing the same thing.
I really would like to see at least some of the older games available to play online. Would make the purchase of individual games more worth it, I think.

Have you ever used a NES or SNES emulator? It works exactly the same way.
You might argue that they can only play LAN, but still.....broadband would have no trouble.

It will be easy for nintendo to make online play
only problem would be finding out people and such
but I could see them getting around it, since there use to be Zbattle, a program that use to find other people playing zsnes and challenge them to a game
