The Virtual Console of Wii allows you to download a wide variety of previous nintendo titles including games from NES.
So yes, a good chunk of NES games will be playable on the Wii.
Apple backed out of India for the same reason that some others have. It's not efficient to run small operations there.
India has a cheap workforce there but it has a lot of other side issues that no one talks about. For example, if you want a chunk of land to build your office, not only do you have to buy it, but you'll probably have to bribe someone in the process. Same goes with water permits, operating licenses etc.. There are full time consultants who's jobs are to work out the bribery angle. Hell even the US government's consulates have admitted to paying bribes. This is standard practice in third world countries. The only way to make an efficient business is to employ thousands of workers which makes up for the briberies with low wages. Employing a small amount of workers won't make up the difference despite the lower wages.
Operating in India has its headaches and can only be done in a large scale manner.
I've pulled off something similar, albiet by accident.
Mind you this is three months after 9/11. I was flying on Continental from DC to Houston. I didn't have an ID as I had lost my wallet. So I go to the check-in desk and tell them and they refuse to give me a ticket. So I use on of those eticket machines on the side and get a ticket despite the fact that the people refused earlier. They also were forced to check in my luggage but they warned me that I would get caught later.
Now when this happened, you didn't show IDs at the security line, instead they checked at the gate. So when I got to the gate, I told them my story (and a complete side note, I'm a brown person, so race isn't an issue) and they gave me the "random" search on the side as a precaution and let me on.
To further demonstrate government airport security issues, ONE MONTH after 9/11, my cousin nearly got in on an expired visa. We were coming together. I am a citizen so I just did the standard stuff but he was here for temporary work and had a visa. The customs official checked an expired visa and cleared his entry on that visa and my cousin had to point out that he was letting him in on an expired visa. Not to mention, they didn't check any of the external documentation necessary for temprorary work visas.
