If people came into your town and you could play VC games with them online, THAT would be something.
Here's an idea: why not have Nintendo "celebrities" visit your town on rare occasion, like Mario, Link, Fox McCloud, etc. might randomly show up for a visit one day and you could chat with them about their lives and they'd share interesting tid-bits about their own games, like Mario might comment about how pipes can take you crazy places and Captain Falcon would talk about how much he enjoys relaxing in (your town name here) because intense racing is very stressful.
You could even spend the day with them, maybe they'd even ask you to show them around town (since you're a townie) and you could take them fishing, take them to get a coffee, to meet the mayor, etc.
I know it's way too much to hope for, but I think it would be awesome if it was included.
